Awesome! What was the deal with the rod and reel that went overboard? Did you get it back or was it donated to Davey Jones?

[Amish Ed]

That fish was destined to die for sure. Great job getting 2nd place too.

[alanw]

That was a great desperation lunge with the gaff to keep him from slipping overboard, good luck was with you for sure.

Way to go buddy, must say it was one of the better fishing weekends i had this summer...hope your work schedule changes so you can get on the water with us again.. 2nd place awesome.

Hey, Mr. Hunter, can you please tell the name of the group and name (Showstopper?) of the song in your video. I loved it, and thought it fit in great as a theme for your video.

Google only gives me the song from the show "Client List", which I haven't even seen. Thanks.

Guys, don't let Rob fool you....he plays it like he is such a rookie, " I don't know these fish...." Blah blah blah.....my rudder was stuck.......

Rob is a cool cat....doesn't brag, just listens and kicks peoples ass on the water.




Ohh, yeah.....there is a very nice rod/ reel combo in about 45 feet of water waiting for someone to go get it.


That ling cod got you enough experience points to move you to level 9 fish catcher/healer/ wizard category.

Rod, reel and net were traded for the Ling and a new rod and reel for 2nd place in the tourney. Awesome video Rob and congrats.

[C. Cary]

great video

[roby]

You have some of the best videos Rob. It was great getting to know you on the camping trip to Cambria.

Congrats again on landing that beast. The head on that thing was unreal.

[Hunter (The 80's Man)]

Thanks guys again for bringing me into the fold.

Haha Matt, thanks for the put-ups! Maybe next time it rains on my sleeping bag all day long you can find some room in your 4-man-tent-heart for me.

Yeah, 2 min 28 sec into the video makes me puke. That was my favorite set-up to not catch fish on 'cause I don't know how, blah blah blah.

The song is "Showstopper" by Tobymac

[JeffB]

That is so badass! I can't think of a more awesome way to catch one. Reminds me of the 60lb+ Muskie that blew up and ate my dads 4lb Smallies in Canada

Yeah, I didn't see that the first two times I watched the video. It looked like you were using a gold Catala, or the likes for the greenling/lingcod. The rod went to the deck after the dual gaff job, eventually working it's way to the side of your 'yak, then overboard. Did you get it back? That was a sweet outfit, and a very lucky one to that point of the game.

Even in the photo shots someone took of you at the end of the video, 2 rods are upright in your rod holders, but I didn't see the rod with the gold reel that caught the ling. For your sake, I do hope it was lying on the deck, hidden during the photo shoot. If the hook was in the ling and the line still attached I'm sure you just pulled it back up out of the water, I just can't see it anywhere in the photo.
