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

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.

great video

rhyak · 09-30-2013, 07:40 PM

THAT is AWESOME...

Have had a lot of hitchhiker lings but none that bad ass....

Limits · 10-08-2013, 01:55 PM

Kick ass video and tunes.

Bummer about the rod going over though. Been there done that....minus the big ling to blame.

roby · 09-30-2013, 06:39 PM

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.

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.

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
