North of California, in Washington.

Wow 42.5" huge!!

I had a request to see the shark hook set up.
It is a large shark hook spliced to 3/8 rope then attached to a buoy. I have since changed out to the round style over the crab trap shape.

Nice work. I do have a soft spot for big bottom fish

that's the tool right there. I'll have one for my next trip up north.

I really like the shark hook method and will most likely make another with a short 3 foot leash and small float to keep it from sinking if I drop it.
A decently strong person can hang on to the rope and wear a fish out boat side with out much trouble. Plus I don't like a lot of extra rope on the deck.

first vid didnt work for me. that second one though............... 
good stuff

ITS GODZILLA!!!

Congrats and thanks for the awesome videos fungunnin!
