Hey Erin I’m hunter the guy with the shark in the video I would love to do some videos this summer and as of sept 30 2021 I am the new wa state record holder of the rope shark species!!!
Nice catches. Those kelp greenling and the surfperch are my favorites for eating. That tope shark was pretty awesome. I have been trying to get one for the past couple years unsuccessfully. Were those guys fishing the end of the pier? Do you know what they used for bait? 👍
That spot has flounder but in 20 years I have only caught 2. As far as the rockfish I go closer to the rocks to catch them. This spot has very few snags. I only loose gear when a fish breaks the line.
As of March 3, 2022 - taupe sharks are critically endangered (according to wiki). So yes, that's a bummer to see those apex predators getting caught and killed. Especially when we are allowed to catch less and less other species due to dwindling numbers. The predator/prey systems are dependent both directly and indirectly
The harbor is a rookery. So may be the worse possible time to catch them as well. (That said I don't think any individual angler is out of line for keeping one, as long as they eat it... Regs may need to change).
They have a taste that you will have to decide for yourself. I have eaten them and, the meat is soft with a small flakey pattern. There is a bitter or off taste about them so what I do is beer batter for them.
Do you mean to tell me you bought store-bought Hooks and you don't tie them up yourself that's a No-No I always tie my own hooks up I never trust the packages ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever for an FYI bud😊

How did you catch it and where you trying to
Let’s go fishing!!!
That was really cool to see you get the shrimp. Never seen that before.
Nice video! I love when it's calm and can see perch schools entering that little manmade cove.
Great job Erin, love your videos buddy.
Thanks so much!
in Aussie land you know "the land down under"? Yabbies are crawdads, crawfish.
That shark was cool!

Good video friend , i was just checking out your channel and i joined up
Thanks and welcome
Surprised you didnt catch anu flounder or rock bass
That spot has flounder but in 20 years I have only caught 2. As far as the rockfish I go closer to the rocks to catch them. This spot has very few snags. I only loose gear when a fish breaks the line.
Rock bass live in freshwater.
I thought they banned digging shrimp or using any wild caught bait
Its so weird how different lake perch and ocean perch are
Where is this? I’d live to take my son. Great catches.
Westport Washington on the fishing pier. Good luck!
Man people been catching the crap outa sharks off that board walk deal this year.. everyone keeps them too.. gotta be doing some damage
Your right . This year there was a bunch of sharks being caught. I do see people catching dog sharks every year just not as many.

So are the kelp cod not good to eat?
greenling are Good eats
Erin you can probably get Monetize soon if everyone were to subscribe
where did you dig the sandshrimp at
At low tide you can get these sand shrimp at the boat basin right at the entrance to the fishing peer.
Hey man- what weight of line do you use??
10 # mono
were the shrimp the only bait you used?
yes but, there are sandworms and toobworms that I can use I used shore crab that you find under rocks until it became a non harvestable species.
😀👍🐟‼

Not kelp cod. They're Greenling.
The current Washington state record for a Tope shark is 41 pounds, caught in 2018 by a 10 year old girl.
Yes I had seen the video. This boy thought that he had possibly caught the new record so good luck to him.
Got it boys!!!
@@hunterbaltzell8964 congrats Hunter!
Kelp greening
Illegal to take a six Gill shark 🖕🏻
I don't know anything about this shark. The person holding it fishes for them off the dock and called this one a Tope Shark.
It's not a sixgill. We catch those in Tacoma.
A year later, did you even listen to the video?? No you didn’t you just assumed what you thought and you were wrong.
