Hmm there’s a pattern here... “I got hit by a boat then caught my PB.” “I lost my favorite rod then caught two gigantic salmon.” Before we know it, “I lost my leg but caught a whale.” Be safe out there, Adam! We need your content hahah.
Hey Adam R U sure you didn’t want a upgraded rod and reel lol😂 ... On the real let us know what combo you come up with,maybe a low,medium,and high outfit thanks man keep fishing for us!!!
I have never yet made my first kayak fishing experience,,,, long story,,,,,,,,,but in the planning phase one of the first things I thought would be to have everything on a "lease" bungee rope etc,,,,,,,,,in case of anything, especially the main one , if i capsize,,,,,, how could you not also see the need to have every thing tied?????
Adam, I met you on this day. I was the guy on the blue outback who caught another big chinook, we took a photo together at the launch/landing area. I got my catch recorded and it's the first video on my very small youtube channel. Was nice running into you, hope to see you again.
I think you could save yourself a lot of grief by letting the rod and the Reel do the work for you!! I've fished Salmon for over 50 yrs up north here off the BC coast, and Guided at various northern Salmon Lodges. We have had "barbless" hooks for ages and lose very few fish. Mostly the Coho when they jump. Even with barbed you would lose the fish if they fought long enough and enlarged the hook entry point. I prefer single action reels rather than the type you guys are using, guess it depends on what you get use to. With your 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 reel ratio for winding you shouldn't have any problem keeping tension, especially when they turn toward you. Even on my single action reels I have no problem catching up to the fish when they run towards me. Boat is always put in neutral when fish on and only kept moving if really windy or hard running current or the fish is really big and have to catch up to him. :-)) Try it without paddling and let the fish run with a good amount of drag on the reel and wind like crazy if he runs toward you. Doubt you would lose any more than what you've said you've lost already. Found your channel a few weeks ago and really enjoy it . but I would sure like you to try the fight without the paddling Plus you will be facing the fish all the time instead of it being behind you.! Fun show though :-)) Love watching.
hey erik id like to get your feedback if you dont mind, and maybe it will help others too. im down here in the SF bay area like adam (die hard fishing). ive often thought that using mooching style fishing would be a good match with kayak fishing. i dont see others doing it down here and am wondering why not? when you say "single action reel" is that what some people call a "mooching reel"? i picked up a nice used one in oregon once (daiwa 175s) and have it matched with an 8.5' lamiglas mooching rod. i have yet to try it out, but since people here dont seem to fish like that, down here your comment caught my eye. you see, i dont have a pedal kayak so im not going to be keeping pressure on by dragging the fish around like the pedal kayakers do. it seems to me that it would be a natural fit: salmon fishing with more traditional kayak and a mooching reel with appropriate rod. any ideas? thanks!
Exactly once u hook it u can’t pedal like that you have to use the rod to fight it . He’s ripping the hook out it’s mouth by pedaling after he hooks it like duh 🙄
My Son Bilal and I are huge fans. We love your videos. Great catch here. Hope to fish with you and the “Bay Area Beasts”,(Mats, Taku, June, & of course you). Big props to your Mom and Dad who raised you right. God bless and stay safe.
When fishermen automatically get angry cause you're hooked up an need the bare minimum assistance. No respect. Adam is top tier class and skilled! Love your videos bro. You make me want to get out more and explore different fisheries.
He kind of started it. Could have said things differently maybe ask or something. The boat would be gone way before the kayak or fish would maybe be there.
A few might slip through the cracks but adipose clipped is a hatchery, not clipped is wild. Also there’s a big difference between farm raised and a hatchery fish, any fish you catch out there are definitely not farm raised! Nice fish though 😁
Adam Your 2nd buck out did the first. You need to set your drag and let lit work. You can't be feeding out line that's what the drag is supposed to do. Set it looser or tighter and live with (trust) it. You can level wind with only your thumb; you don't need to include/involve your fore finger too. You need the fore finger to grip and apply pressure and control on your rod. 2 monkey fish off your back. I share in your relief of pressure. Tight lines and tight spins on your smelly bait... next trip video; I'll be watching for it.
He does this shit all the time. It is so frustrating. I’ve stopped watching, cause he always complains about how tired he gets but feeds the fish line like crazy. And he always lose fish, cause when he feeds line, there’s slack. But whatever. Lol. I just thought I’d watch this one and see if he has learned, he isn’t feeding as much anymore, but looks like he definitely still does a bit. 🤦♀️.
Splendid trip and vid ! Listen we’ve all lost something here and there over the years bright side who doesn’t love buying new soon to be favorite gear ? Thanks again for taking us along!
We went out yesterday. They are just a little south from bodega bay around 10 mile beach 50’ they are pissed off and strong when they get hooked that shallow. Caught 2, lost 2 and had some bites. Where do you launch with a kayak? Looks like glass that day!
Die Hard strikes again!! Your channel is so awesome! Your such a chill guy. I probably would have popped my top with that first boater. Where did you launch from? Looked so calm for you to have had a yard sale.
Lost your favorite pole then limit out on salmon, looks like you gained a “ lucky 🍀 pole.” I can hear taku cheerleading for you lol 😂 looks like you guys are having fun!
You’re literally just informing them that you’ve got a fish on and to be careful and he snaps at you like that? What a jerk. Congrats on a great day of fishing!
Sweet catch way to redeem the day. FYI 25% of salmon raised at the Central Valley hatcheries have their adipose fin clipped. So if you have a fish with a fin clip you know it's from a hatchery, but no telling just by looking a fish with an adipose fin if it's a hatchery or naturally spawning fish
I recently lost a rod and reel due to not loosening my drag and hooking up to an 80 lb shark. It was my favorite rod and reel. Seen it sink about a foot upon hitting the water and then she went for a ride. RIP Daiwa x40 and Ugly Stik tiger. At least you can say you've been through it now and you're a much better fisherman.
Man I love watching you kayak guys pedal around in full sprint mode with a fish on. Save yourself some calories and wind the damn reel. Whether you're towing the fish or the fish is towing you, just keep tension on the fish and the hook's not coming out. Barb or not. Just reel that thing to the boat!!!!!
Oof, sorry to hear about that rod and reel man. I did the same thing at the Kern river once, damn near got swept away trying to retrieve it too. At least those pigs made up for it!
Another way to tell if its a hatchery fish or wild is if the dorsal fin is raggedy looking and marred up its probably a hatchery fish from rubbing on everything in the holding pins, if they're nice and pointy then its probably a wild.
You are definitely in better shape than Jun and Taku! Taku said he could not keep up with you on his video and Jun got leg cramps on his video! Nice double catch, Adam,! Sorry to hear you lost some more equipment but that is part of the game!
Happy Belated Bday - it was nice to finally meet you yesterday (sorry I realized after the fact that i was fully masked/sunglasses and hat when I introduced myself) - Nice video, thanks for sharing your experiences as always.
In Oregon that is not the case only something like 10% don't get clipped. I'm pretty sure other west coast states are the same, I could be wrong but I highly doubt they don't clip that many. I would love to see an article or some proof that is the case.
@@chrisbrantner7798 we were wondering last time I went out so when we got back to the dock, we asked the lady that works for them and thats what she told us. She also said only about 10% of the salmon are wild so most of the fish you are catching, even if they aren't clipped, are farm raised.
@@wolfieyt6762 I have volunteered at 2 different hatcheries in Oregon, one more than once to help clip fins. I'm not saying your lying but I think you misheard. Most hatcheries are raising like 600k to a million smolts of each type and putting tags in 25% of those just wouldn't make sense. Also raising that many fish with the purpose of being caught by fishermen to only clip 25% would create a big fuss with fishermen whos license fees go to paying most of their budget.
@@chrisbrantner7798 Im positive I didn't mishear but if you still don't believe me (which I understand why according to what you say about Oregon) you should look up some of the hatcheries and Im sure they will have some of that info. That day we talked to the lady that works at the hatchery, we caught 13 salmon and only 2 of them were clipped. I don't think they would have hatcheries if there are that many wild salmon.
I was wondering if you are having a problem with slack in the line letting the hook come lose, why do you pull slack off the reel while you are bring the fish in? Just curious.
Ever tried breakaway flasher rigs down there in CA to help with minimizing drag for you and the fish? The Simon magnetic break away system has been money with my Hotspot and Shortbus flashers
No worries man it happens I don't know how many dam fishing poles I've lost G Loomis Shimano trevala couple tackle boxes congratulations on the salmon my friend
Look at the dorsal fin on the salmon with an adipose fin and if it is a little messed up it is most likely a hatchery. Their dorsal gets messed up while young in the fish pens. Natives have perfect fins most of the time so thats a good way to tell.
For the Adipose fins on Salmon and steelhead, some fish that were clipped have a healed scar or an Adipose that was partially clipped with less than an centimeter remaining. Sometimes though in decades past, the hatcheries would clip what they need to stimulate the return only and released the unclipped ones like you mentioned. Sometimes genetic marker and tag testing provides where the hatchery fish, clipped or not, just become vanguard or volunteering salmon/steelhead and stimulate or rear in totally new watersheds or systems. Whether it's a a few lost fish following a massive school of native fish up the system. In my opinion it's just fish attending and graduating with a different school than what they grew up with.
Hook wise on the barb less there are high carbon barb less fish hooks you can heat and bend the hook to one side keeping the same gap with . This bend will hook and hold far better. To do this properly and keep the hooks strength you need to heat and slow cool (annealing process) to make the (bend) then you have to heat and ( quench ) to make hard the steel hard. Its actually pretty basic not complicated. A small camping propane bottle and torch tip from a hardware store such as (ACE) provides the heat As for the yak rolling Nature can be a mother!!! A+ for effort soaked , exhausted, but coming come victorious with 2 very nice salmon. .
Lesson of today: someone's you need to sacrifice something to get something better. You lost your good rod with crapy reel and as a result, your reserve set up delivered. Good job! Maybe next year I'll try salmon fishing. Just sold old boat,waiting on new one this weekend. Then...gotta handle legal work and coastguard regulations. By then it'll be mid September...hopefully. Good job though.
Thanks for the video man I felt like I was out there with you. I think this year I will get me a Kayak. I am in the LA area. Have to find an area where your from to catch the salmon. Thanks again.
You should check the shore all around where u lost it in the surf we used too lose them on the beach slot from tide coming up fast n the night then at daybreak we'd find them wash right up the beach 100 ft or less
Great catches man. Must feel so good after so much time/money. What a beautiful chromer too. I’m waiting for them to make their way through the gate and up the river before I get a shot at them this fall.
Great catches after your sacrifice to the fish gods! Now PLEASE take us with you to buy your new salmon rod and reel (if you are not buying it on line).
Great job love your videos🤗 Out of curiosity would sidekicks or stabilisers help in launching and returning as far as not flipping as easy or is there a Reason you don't like using them? Im thinking of getting Hoby But don't want to flip. Im a little on the old side lol.
Good video. You will lose a lot less fish if you try taking line instead of giving it. I understand you had Sam in the drag but giving him line is the opposite you want to do for salmon. Also I noticed you set the hook several times - sometimes more than once in the same fish. Salmon have soft mouths and you are just increasing the gap for the hook to slip out when you pull. Good luck and hope to see you increase your hook to land ratio.

My gpa used to say "hooked her right by the lipstick!" When him or I had a dodgy hookup. Miss that man.
I can’t believe how calm you are when your getting yelled at
Asian; we're all screaming inside
He kind of started it. Could have said things differently maybe ask or something. The boat would be gone way before the kayak or fish would maybe be there.

Dang, all the attitudes. Kayakers must be the road cyclists of the boating world 😂 .
I tell people I know how motorcycle drivers feel. I almost got ran over couple years ago but the guy saw me and peeled away.
The people in boats are just assholes.
That first boat was probably mad they didn’t catch anything and a kayak did. Besides that, great catches.
Splendid trip and vid ! Listen we’ve all lost something here and there over the years bright side who doesn’t love buying new soon to be favorite gear ? Thanks again for taking us along!
The kayak guy is truly a natural bait fan. Love watching his techniques & tactics
Never curse the tool that has rewarded you,
the sea takes and gives back...
Thx for the positive attitude dealing with the grumpy fisherman. Every time you end up coming out with the biggest fish.✌🏽
Take your clicker off after you hook your fish. It really does impede how quickly you can reel in your line efficiently.
Die Hard Fishing went beast mode. No more messing around! You forgot to mention it was your birthday!!
Happy belated Bday Adam. Taku hit me up brother. We need to hook up and hook on some fish
They are friends. We’re a pretty tight group here in the Bay Area.
Glad we're all best friends
Wow 🤩 your channel never disappoints! I didn’t really start watching until the hit by a boat video. Been hooked since!

die hard never misses leg day!
If you attach a pice of a pool noodle onto your rod it would float so you won’t loose any more rods in the future
Good idea but fishing from a kayak is a different beast. Needless to say pain in the butt and the last thing I'd want to deal with is a pool noodle.
Started with a “bad” day and came out a winner👏
This was painful to watch.
That's the lucky Rod
🎣🐟🔥💯👍
Catch You Next Time!

That's sad about the rod , I'm now gonna tether my rods. Thanks for the tip.
i’m a little confused why do you pedal when you hook up?
Hooks the fish and keeps tension
So happy for you man. Thanks for sharing!
When people yell at me I usually yell back😂😂 Awsome fish!
Fortitude, determination, grit. You blasted through adversity to success. Congrats.
Remember the worst day fish is better then a good day working😁👍
Way to not quit Adam!!! On both losing gear and those epic fights!!
If their tails are jagged on the fin then it is farmed and if the tail fin is smooth and straight on the end then it is natural
Catching some good fish eases the pain of losing a favorite rod. I recently found this out as well.
Nice catch bra!! Sweet audio and film as well as narration. Good stuff man . See ya on 5he sonoma coast.
Man I love watching you kayak guys pedal around in full sprint mode with a fish on. Save yourself some calories and wind the damn reel.

The hatcheries only clip the fish that they put the tracking wires in which is 25% of the fish raised. Love the videos keep up the good work!
In Oregon that is not the case only something like 10% don't get clipped. I'm pretty sure other west coast states are the same, I could be wrong but I highly doubt they don't clip that many. I would love to see an article or some proof that is the case.

Well done, your patience served u well. Great vid, thanks.
How could you not give this video a thumbs up. Mans put in work
Love your outlook. Great job definitely.
I always tether my poles to my kayak. It’s saved me many times during the launch, while out in open water, and during rough landings.
Dude!! Kept me in suspense!! Fun to watch!! Thank you!!
It’s tiring because you give him the whole spool and then have to reel him all the way back in.
Sucks to hear about the rough start man. Glad you aren't editing out the struggle tho. Kick ass man 🤙
Thanks for the video man I felt like I was out there with you. I think this year I will get me a Kayak. I am in the LA area. Have to find an area where your from to catch the salmon. Thanks again.
You should check the shore all around where u lost it in the surf we used too lose them on the beach slot from tide coming up fast n the night then at daybreak we'd find them wash right up the beach 100 ft or less
Are you using circle hook? helps to keep the fish on.
You are right about the fin it's has to be cut off to be a hachery fish and in Washington State it's a wild fish after to be released
Great catches man. Must feel so good after so much time/money. What a beautiful chromer too. I’m waiting for them to make their way through the gate and up the river before I get a shot at them this fall.
Looks like an old Kunnan graphite/fiberglass weave. If it is, I have a 9’ XH that I use for sturgeon and plunking, plus bobber salmon. Broomstick!
You’re my favorites now. How long you drop your bait before you drop your weights to your downrigger? Thank You
Sorry for the loss hope you find it
Nice Adam. Losing a setup is heart breaking but losing a nice fish would of been more heart breaking. Awesome job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Oh and happy belated bday.
@diehardfishing What kind of downrigger line release are you using for salmon?
What was your favorite reel and rod? Im in the process of looking for a reel and rod for my Kayak. Any feedback would be appreciated. Great video...
Great catches after your sacrifice to the fish gods! Now PLEASE take us with you to buy your new salmon rod and reel (if you are not buying it on line).
You are definitely the salmon whisperer.
Great job love your videos🤗 Out of curiosity would sidekicks or stabilisers help in launching and returning as far as not flipping as easy or is there a Reason you don't like using them? Im thinking of getting Hoby But don't want to flip. Im a little on the old side lol.
Nice Hogs! Do you ever see any sharks lurking when you bleed your fish and leave them on a stringer?
I'd be more concerned about a sea lion grabbing it.
Good video. You will lose a lot less fish if you try taking line instead of giving it. I understand you had Sam in the drag but giving him line is the opposite you want to do for salmon. Also I noticed you set the hook several times - sometimes more than once in the same fish. Salmon have soft mouths and you are just increasing the gap for the hook to slip out when you pull. Good luck and hope to see you increase your hook to land ratio.
On launch and on landing always stow rods away and put electronics in dry bag in hatch. Also, stop peddling and just reel the fish in
Is it a blue rod I think I found that thing last year. Ive been using it on my boat.
What a beautiful catch brotha , you lost the small ones only to catch the big ones.
Good job Adam catching those big fish!!!
Souns like you have a new favorite Fishing Pole !!!!!!
