    😀Hey, both of those fish would win a trophy in so many places. Started fishing salt water in 1951 when was 6. The first thing my mom cought was a skate about 3 feet wide. good eating from saltwater in Tacoma, Wa.

    Brilliant video again Billy,I remember starting out with a penn sea boy reel and a solid glass beach rod 😆.. Traces made by ourselves just loops and tie your hook length..Caught many a Kent Cod back the late 60s..Thanks for the memory lane..

    This video finally put me off fishing in Norway.
    The existence of hagfish from the shore is too terrifying to cotemplate.

    • @Billyfishing_watch
      @Billyfishing_watch  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      They're not bad as you think! Their slime is not even sticky! It just looks awful. It doesn't stick to your fingers or anything else. It doesn't smell. hag fish are not dangerous! So don't worry brother, come to Norway. And have a blast 😁👌

I am occasionally in Norway and I always bring my cheap set that i bought in Biltema in Sweden for around 25e (might be a bit too cheap :D). So far I managed to catch many different fish species although not such monsters as yours (my records are 3.2kg ling and 3.5kg cod).
    I'm currently struggling to get something else but saithe which I can catch in tons during night at at peer where I fish. It seems to be very deep, 50+ meters just few meters from edge of peer. Do you have any advice what to do in such case (fishing into abyss :D)?

    • @Billyfishing_watch

      @@Billyfishing_watch Thanks a lot for advice. That is what I'm trying to do, I cast as far as I can (30-50m) and then just let the line flow from the reel while bait is sinking and that takes quite a long time. But I have a feeling that it doesn't reach the bottom but hangs on a slope of that peer or lands on some rock... Still, fishing in Norway is the best fishing experience I had so far, and your videos are really helpful and full of knowledge :)

    Used to dive Norway (Narvik WW2 area) early October
    Lots of Pollock use to lurk in the 20-30 m range on reefs that went down to 50-55M
    Might be worth float fishing tight in (or spinning/jigging) if you're happy with getting caught up in the crags they hunt in
    Skipper of our boat spoke of the Orca's coming in end of October early November to feed on spawning "herring" but what he meant by herring is anyone's guess (Scottish and loved a we dram most of the time)

    We have been surprised at how close-in we have caught fish in Norway. Literally under our feet.
    Out of curiosity whathat do you think the results would have been if you were lure fishing instead of bait?

    • @Billyfishing_watch
      @Billyfishing_watch  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Diane. On that Mark! lures produced the fish during the daytime. Baits don't seem to work, and the fish are generally not that big 😁👌

    Just a quick question Billy.
    I noticed you like bleeding the fish by cutting through the muscles at the base of the tail, do you prefer that to cutting the gill arteries?

    • @Billyfishing_watch
      @Billyfishing_watch  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You can just bleed them by cutting the gills, but I like to take it a bit further! Follow the link to this video, and it will explain. Thanks Brother 😁👌

      ​@@Billyfishing_watch Nice one thanks. Yeah hate bait elastic myself. Respect to any fish that shares my hatred of the stuff. Bass don't like it either IME. With a circle hook dongle, if the bait and casting distance allows, I try and thread on the bait and use an improvised bait stop similar to putting a boilie on a hair.
