(MUSIC) >> JUSTIN: HEY EVERYBODY, THANKS FOR BEING HERE. THIS WEEK, IT'S CALIFORNIA HALIBUT IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY. NOW IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO CATCH MORE FISH, STAY TUNED. I'M JUSTIN WOLFF AND THIS IS ANGLER WEST TELEVISION. (MUSIC) >> STEVEN: ALRIGHT, SO TODAY GUYS, WE'RE GOING TO DO A LITTLE BIT OF HALIBUT FISHING. WE'RE GONNA HEAD OVER TO FISHERMAN'S WHARF RIGHT NOW, AND TRY TO GO PICK UP SOME LIVE BAIT- TRY TO GET ON THIS MORNING BITE, THAT'S WHAT IT'S BEEN FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS, MORNING SNAP- AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL, YOU KNOW, GET OUR QUOTA OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. ONCE THE BITE TAPERS OFF, THAT TIDE CHANGES UP, WE START GOING BACK OUT- WE MAY SWITCH OVER AND THROW ON A LITTLE BIT OF THE TROLLING GEAR. AND SHOW A BIT OF THE TROLLING TECHNIQUES, AND THAT SHOULD PRETTY MUCH WRAP UP OUR DAY LIKE, YOU KNOW? YEAH, SO WE'RE PULLING OF INTO FISHERMAN'S WHARF- I'M GONNA PICK UP A LITTLE BIT OF ICE RIGHT HERE FIRST, BUT WE'RE GONNA PICK UP SOME LIVE ANCHOVIES. THIS IS J&P BAIT, MY BUDDY ERIC. AND ERIC SANQUIST, AND SHAWN HODGES OWN THIS GOOD LITTLE SPOT. WE'LL START OFF BEHIND, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY T.I. AND START MAKING OUR DRIFT OFF INTO THE BERKELEY FLATS OR THE EMERYVILLE FLATS- WHICH EVER ONE, WE'VE PICKED UP SOME GOOD FISH THERE YESTERDAY, SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL ALL WORK OUT TODAY. >> STEVE: HOW'S THE FISHING BEEN? >> STEVEN: WELL, THE FISHING HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL- ACTUALLY ONE OF THE BEST YEARS POSSIBLE, I MEAN BEST YEARS EVER THAT WE'VE HAD IN A LONG, LONG TIME. IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE WE'VE SEEN A FISHERY LIKE THIS, AND I GUESS YOU COULD SAY- RIGHT NOW, THE FISH HAVE BEEN CLIMBING ON- LIKE WE'VE BEEN HAVING NUMBERS, ASTRONOMICAL NUMBERS, LIKE TRIPLE DIGITS- AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT IN A LONG TIME, SO HOPEFULLY TODAY- WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING REALLY GOOD. AND WE'RE FISHING ON A BIG TIDE TODAY, SO I DON'T EXPECT FOR IT TO BE LIKE IT WAS A DAY WHEN WE HAVE A SMALLER TIDE THAT'S IDEAL FOR THIS FISHERY. BUT FOR WHAT WE GOT GOING ON RIGHT NOW, I THINK WE SHOULD DO WELL. >> STEVE: SO HOW LONG SHOULD THIS FISHERY LAST? YOU KNOW, IT'S THE MIDDLE OF MAY, HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THIS WILL GO ON FOR? >> STEVEN: OH THIS IS GONNA GO ON FOR THE, ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL LIKE I GUESS YOU PROBABLY COULD SAY- PROBABLY OCTOBER, NOVEMBER- >> STEVE: OH WOW- >> STEVEN: YEAH- WE'VE HAD NUMBERS OF FISH LIKE, OR I GUESS YOU COULD SAY FOR THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS- WE WAS HAVING YEARS WHERE WE'RE CATCHING LIKE HUNDRED SHAKER YEARS. WELL THOSE SHAKERS NOW HAVE BECAME KEEPERS- SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY NOW, WE'RE HAVING THESE HUGE NUMBERS BEING CAUGHT. SO BASICALLY, WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIND IS THE BAIT, LIKE SEE THIS BAIT HERE, ON THE BOTTOM HERE? SO WHEN THE HALIBUT SEE THAT RIGHT THERE, THEY'LL PUSH UP IN HERE, YOU KNOW- AND TRY TO AMBUSH IT, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW HOW THEY FEED- SIT THERE ON THE BOTTOM AND LOOK UP, WHEN THEY SEE ALL THAT FEED DOWN THERE LIKE THAT- OF COURSE, THEY WANT TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE OFF ON IT. SO WE'LL SET UP ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS, I JUST NEED TO SEE WHICH WAY OUR DRIFT IS GONNA BE. AND UH, ONCE WE DO THAT, THEN WE CAN JUST DECIDE WHICH SIDE IS GONNA BE OUR HEAVY SIDE- AND WHAT SIDE IS GONNA BE OUR LIGHT SIDE. SO WE USE BRAIDED LINE ON OUR HEAVY SIDE, BECAUSE BRAIDED LINE GOES STRAIGHT DOWN. AND THEN WE USE THE MONOFILAMENT ON OUR LIGHT SIDE, BECAUSE THE MONO ALWAYS BOWS, LIKE ONCE IT GOES DOWN IN THE WATER, RIGHT? AND THE WAY THAT WE'RE DRIFTING, IT ACTUALLY CARRIES THE MONO BACK. SO AS THE MONO IS BEING DRAGGED ALONG FROM THE BACKSIDE, IT'S IN THE BOW- WHERE AS THE BRAID IS GOING DIRECTLY DOWN, RIGHT UP UNDERNEATH THE BOAT LIKE THIS- AND THEN THE MONO IS WAY BACK THERE, LIKE YOU KNOW, SO- THAT'S THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THAT, AND WHAT WE DO IS WE USE- LIKE WE MAY USE LIKE SOME EIGHTS ON ONE SIDE, ON THE HEAVY SIDE- AND THEN ON THE LIGHT SIDE, WE MAY USE SOME FIVES OR SIXES, OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW? AND THAT'S HOW WE SET IT UP, AND THAT ALSO HELPS US TO KEEP THE LINES FROM BEING TANGLED UP WHILE WE'RE ON THE DRIFT. SO WE ARE FISHING IN THE, WE'RE IN LIKE 22 FEET OF WATER- AND WE'RE DRIFTING TO OUR PORT SIDE, LIKE TOWARDS THE BARGES HERE, WHICH IS THE EMERYVILLE FLATS. AND WE'VE BEEN PICKING UP FISH ALL OVER THIS WHOLE LITTLE AREA RIGHT NOW. WE GOT FISH EVERYWHERE, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. SO, HOPEFULLY WE SHOULD START GETTING SOME BITES SOME TIME SOON HERE. THIS TIDE SHOULD START PUSHING, PUSHING US IN, AS THE IN COMING COMES IN. SO, WE'LL SEE- >> STEVE: HEY STEVEN, I'VE NEVE DONE THIS LIVE BAIT TROLL- I'M USUALLY JIGGIN' 12 TO 20 OUNCE JIGS. >> STEVEN: OK- >> STEVE: FOR THE HALIBUT. SO WHAT'S THE PROCEDURE HERE? WE'RE USING LIVE BAIT, AND JUST BOUNCING OFF THE BOTTOM. BUT WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN THEY TAKE IT? I MEAN, DO YOU-? >> STEVEN: SO GENERALLY, WHEN THEY TAKE IT- INSTEAD OF SETTING THE HOOK, THAT'S A NO-NO WHEN IT COMES TO THESE TYPE OF FISH. YOU DON'T WANT TO SET THE HOOK LIKE YOU'RE BASS FISHING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. WHAT WE DO IS, YOU SEE THAT BITE- SOMETIMES IT'S JUST LIKE A, IT'LL BE A THUMP, OR SOMETIMES IT'LL BE A LITTLE WIGGLE LIKE THIS- SO WHAT YOU DO IS, WHEN YOU DO SEE IT- YOU GRAB IT AND YOU FEED IT SOME LINE. PULL SOME LINE OUT- >> STEVE: OK- >> STEVEN: COUNT TO ABOUT FIVE, YOU KNOW, ONE-ONE THOUSAND, TWO-ONE THOUSAND, THREE-ONE THOUSAND, FOUR-ONE THOUSAND, FIVE-ONE THOUSAND- THEN LIFT UP ON IT LIGHTLY, AND WHEN YOU SEE THAT BOW IN IT- THE ROD WILL DOUBLE OVER, START REELING SLOWLY. THE FISH DOESN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT HE'S BEEN HOOKED AT ALL, YOU KNOW- SO ONCE YOU BRING 'EM UP, JUST DON'T BRING HIS HEAD OUT OF THE WATER. CAUSE YOU BRING HIS HEAD OUT THE WATER, HE'S GONNA GO CRAZY, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING- HE'S GONNA START FIGHTING AND ALL THAT, AND RIGHT NOW IT'S LIKE- HE'S COMING UP, IT'S LIKE HE'S SORT OF MESMERIZED, HE DON'T EVEN REALIZE IT- SO WE CAN GET HIM IN THE NET THAT EASY. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU JUST DON'T SET THE HOOK. PEOPLE SOMETIMES GET OUT HERE, ESPECIALLY BASS FISHERMEN- AND THEY HAVE IT BAD WHEN IT COMES, YOU KNOW, TO SETTIN' THE HOOK- THEY JUST THINK THAT'S A NATURAL INSTINCT, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO LIKE CATCHING THESE- ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS JUST TAKE YOUR TIME, FEED IT A LITTLE BIT- ONCE YOU FEED IT A LITTLE BIT, AND HE'S GOT IT IN HIS MOUTH- (MUSIC) >> STEVEN: HE TRIES TO SWALLOW IT, AND START REALLY SLOWLY, THAT'S IT. GUIDE IT STRAIGHT TO IT- (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEVEN: ALRIGHT, PULL OFF SOME LINE- THERE YOU GO- (MUSIC) (MUSIC) >> JUSTIN: WELCOME BACK TO THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY, I'M JUSTIN WOLFF. WE'RE WITH CAPTAIN STEVEN MITCHELL, AND THE CALIFORNIA HALIBUT ARE STARTING TO CLIMB ABOARD. (MUSIC) (FISH THRASHING) >> STEVEN: ALRIGHT- THAT WILL WORK, LET ME MARK THIS SPOT REAL QUICK. >> STEVE: WHOO-HOO! THAT'S PROBABLY IN RANGE ON THE SMALL SLOT LIMIT FOR CANADA- THEY'VE GOT, THEY'VE CHANGED THE REGS THIS YEAR, SO YOU CAN GET A LARGE ONE IN THE LARGE SLOT- AND ONE IN THE, YOU KNOW, THE 8 TO 14 POUND RANGE. SO, THAT'S RIGHT IN LINE. >> ANGEL: 24- THE SIZE LIMIT HERE IS 22 INCHES TO HAVE A KEEPER. IF IT'S BELOW 22 INCHES, WE'RE GONNA LET 'EM GO. ANYTHING ABOVE 22 INCHES, OF COURSE, WE'RE GONNA KEEP. WE DO RELEASE, YESTERDAY WE RELEASED MAYBE 50 PLUS SHAKERS, AND 14 KEEPERS. >> STEVEN: LIVE FOR THE CAMERA, HE'S CHOMPIN' TOO- LOOK AT THAT MOUTH, LOOK, LOOK- (CHUCKLING) >> STEVE: THERE'S SOME TEETH IN THERE- >> STEVEN: DO NOT EVER PUT YOUR HANDS IN THAT MOUTH! HE WILL HAVE YOU LEAKING! OH YEAH- THIS IS JUST AVERAGE SIZE FOR RIGHT NOW, THIS TIME OF THE YEAR- BEING THAT THE HALIBUTS ARE JUST NOW STARTING TO REALLY START TO SNAP. BUT AS IT PROGRESSES, LATER ON INTO THIS MONTH AS WELL AS INTO NEXT MONTH- WE START CLIMBING INTO A LOT BIGGER SIZES, YOU KNOW. FISH ON- >> ANGEL: REEL UP NICE AND SLOW- (CROSSTALK) >> ANGEL: STRIPER, NICE BASS. (CHUCKLING) (FISH SPLASHING) >> ANGEL: WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE, READY? >> YEAH, CAUSE YOU KNOW, I'M A BASS GIRL! (CHUCKLING) >> STEVEN: YOU KNOW, WHILE WE'RE OUT HERE HALIBUT FISHING- WE ALSO GET THE STRIPERS AS WELL. AND IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME, FOR THEM TO REALLY SHOW UP. SO, WE'VE BEEN GETTING 'EM IN GOOD NUMBERS, LIKE I SAID YESTERDAY WE HAD LIMITS OF HALIBUT, AS WELL AS LIMITS OF STRIPERS. SO YEAH, WE'RE AT SLACK TIDE, BUT IT'S STARTING TO GIVE US A BEGINNING PUSH OF THE FLOOD. SO ONCE THAT TIDE JUST STARTS TO TAKE OFF A LITTLE BIT- THOSE FISH ARE GONNA BECOME A LITTLE BIT MORE ACTIVE. A LOT MORE ACTIVE, ACTUALLY, AND THEY'LL START CLIMBING ON FROM THAT POINT ON, YOU KNOW- SO, WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO LIKE GETTING DOWN TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THAT PIER- WHERE YOU CAN SEE IT'S ALL BROKEN UP, AND THEN WHERE THAT PIER STARTS BACK UP- THAT'S WHERE IT WILL BE GOOD AT, THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF FISH WAS HOLDING YESTERDAY. SO, WE'LL SEE. >> STEVE: AND WHAT ARE THESE FISH EATING RIGHT NOW? >> STEVEN: THEY'RE EATING THESE ANCHOVIES RIGH NOW- YEAH, THE BAY HAS GOT A LOT OF 'EM UP IN THERE RIGHT NOW. SO, WHERE EVER THE FEED IS, THAT'S WHERE THE FISH ARE. SO THAT'S HOW WE LOCATE THE FISH, BEING THAT YOU DON'T SEE THESE ON THE METER- WE JUST LOOK FOR THE FEED- WE FIND THE FEED, WE FIND THE FISH. >> STEVE: THERE YOU GO- SO THE BITE'S A LITTLE SLOW, SO I'M GONNA STICK THIS LIVE BAIT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF BUTT JUICE OIL. SO, HE'S NOT GONNA LIKE IT MUCH, BUT- PUT A THIN BEAD ON THE OUTSIDE OF IT. YEAH, WHEN YOU INJECT 'EM LIKE THIS, IT WILL KILL 'EM- BUT THEY'LL STILL LAST A FEW MINUTES WIGGLIN' PRETTY GOOD. AND AT LEAST THEY'RE PUTTING OUT A GOOD SCENT TRAIL. >> STEVEN: THERE YOU GO, STEVE! THE BUTT JUICE, BABY, THE BUTT JUICE! >> ANGEL: OH YEAH, THAT IS RIGHT, YEAH- (CHUCKLING) >> STEVEN: HEY, THAT'S OFF THE BUTT JUICE! SO IT DEFINITELY WORKS, PRO-CURE IN THE HOUSE, YOU GUYS! >> STEVE: THIS SEEMS LIKE A BETTER FISH. >> STEVEN: PROBABLY IS- HERE YOU GO, NET BABY, NET! (CLATTERING) >> STEVE: READY? LOT BETTER THAN THE OTHER ONE- (CHUCKLING) (CROSSTALK) >> ANGEL: A HALIBUT- >> YEAH, THE WAY HE'S SHAKING, NOT A (UNKNOWN) NEED ME TO MOVE MY ROD? (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEVEN: JUST PULL HIM STRAIGHT TO THE NET, BUT KEEP HIS HEAD IN THE WATER- (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEVEN: THERE YOU GO, PULL OFF A LITTLE LINE, BABY- >> ANGEL: NICE ONE- >> STEVEN: NICE ONE, THAT'S A KEEPER. (FISH THRASHING) >> ANGEL: NOW HE WOKE UP, (UNKNOWN) THEN ONCE YOU GET THEM ON THE SURFACE, NOW HE'S LIKE GOING CRAZY. (CHUCKLING) >> STEVEN: I HEARD THAT, GOOD FISH- HOLD UP, GOOD FISH, GOOD FISH, GOOD FISH, GOOD FISH- (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEVEN: LOCK HIM IN, LOCK HIM IN, LOCK HIM IN- DON'T LET HIM JUMP OUT, THERE YOU GO! >> STEFFAN: SO SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE FISHING FOR HALIBUT- YOU WANT TO USE SOMEWHERE IN THE SMALLER MID-SIZE RANGE LIVE BAIT ANCHOVIES. SOMETIMES THERE'S A PATTERN, SO I WAS FISHING THIS MORNING WITH MOSTLY LARGER BAITS. IN THE FIRST DROP, I PUT DOWN A SMALLER BAIT- (MUSIC) >> STEFFAN: AND WITHIN FIVE MINUTES, I GOT MY FIRST FISH. SO, JUST GOTTA PLAY SOME TRIAL AND ERROR AND SEE WHERE IT GOES. (MUSIC) (MUSIC) >> JUSTIN: THIS YEAR, THE HALIBUT FISHING IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY HAS BEEN FANTASTIC- WITH LIMITS POSSIBLE AS LONG AS YOU'RE GETTING PLENTY OF BITES. (MUSIC) >> STEVEN: THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN THE BAIT ENDS UP GETTING BIT- AND WE CALL THIS A SCRATCH BAIT, RIGHT? AND BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS, THE FISH ENDS UP PICKING UP ON IT, AND THEN WITHOUT A STINGER ON THE BACK- HE'LL LET IT GO. SO, THAT'S WHY YOU NOTICE SOME OF THE LEADERS THAT WE HAVE HAVE A STINGER ON THEM, SOME OF THEM DON'T. AND WHEN THEY DON'T THIS IS THE RESULT OF IT, RIGHT? YOU CAN SEE HOW IT GOT BIT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE FISH LET GO. FOR OUR SETUP HERE, WITH OUR LEADER THAT WE'RE USING- WE'RE USING SOME P-LINE C21, AND THIS IS A 25 POUND TEST. FOR OUR MAIN LINE HERE, WE'RE USING LIKE 40 POUND TEST, HI-VIZ P-LINE MONO. AND WE USE THIS ON OUR LIGHT SIDE, BECAUSE THIS SIDE'S ALSO THE SIDE WE DRIFT AWAY FROM- AND LIKE I SAID, WE WAS USING THE 40 POUND TEST BRAID RIGHT HERE- BUT THAT'S ON THE HEAVY SIDE, AND THIS WILL BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE. >> STEVE: FEELS A LITTLE, THAT FEELS LIKE THERE'S MORE WEIGHT TO IT. (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEVE: GOT MORE SPOTS ON HIM- (FISH SPLASHING) (CLATTERING) >> STEVE: THANK YOU VERY MUCH! FISH NUMBER TWO, LOOKING FOR ONE MORE. >> STEVEN: THE HALIBUT'S STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN- >> I NEED THE NET, THAT BECKMAN NET- (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEVEN: OH YEAH, BABY! NICE, NICE, THAT'S A NICE ONE RIGHT THERE. GOOD ONE, LET ME MARK THE SPOT- >> STEFFAN: YEAH BABY- GOOD ACTION THERE- >> ANGEL: LIFT UP NICE AND SLOW- (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEFFAN: MIGHT BE A BASS, MIGHT BE A BASS- (CROSSTALK) >> STEFFAN: HALIBUT, OH NICE ONE! (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEVEN: PULL OFF SOME LINE, PULL OFF SOME LINE- THERE YOU GO- NICE HALIBUT, BABY! (FISH THRASHING) >> STEVEN: OOP, WE GOTTA BREAK OUT THE BE COOL STICK GUYS- (LAUGHING) >> STEVEN: THE BE COOL STICK- (LAUGHING) >> STEVEN: THAT WILL CALM 'EM DOWN. THAT WILL WORK, NICE HALIBUT- (CHUCKLING) >> STEVEN: GOT ANOTHER ONE, GOT A DOUBLE- WHOA, WHOA, WHOA- LET'S GET THIS OUT THE WAY HERE- WE GOT A DOUBLE! YOU GOT IT? OH YEAH, DOUBLE, GOT A DOUBLE- >> STEVE: I'VE GOT A HALIBUT- >> STEVEN: GOT ANOTHER HALIBUT- THIS IS OFF THAT PRO-CURE, PRO-CURE BUTT JUICE, GUYS- YOU GUYS BETTER GET UP ON IT! STEVE, WHAT YOU THINK, WHAT YOU THINK? LET'S SEE, LET'S SEE- LET ME SEE IT- (CLATTERING) >> STEVE: JUST LIKE YOU- >> STEVEN: I KNOW- (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEVE: WOW- (CHUCKLING) >> IS IT A KEEPER? >> STEVEN: I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T KNOW- WE'RE GONNA MEASURE HIM OUT, BE SURE. (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEVEN: NO, I THINK HE'S A LITTLE SHORT, A LITTLE SHORT. (CROSSTALK) >> STEFFAN: THAT WAS A DOUBLE HOOK UP ON SOME FISH- WE WERE ON SOME, A SCHOOL OF HALIBUT, AND USUALLY WHEN THERE'S ONE, THERE'S A FEW MORE WITH IT. >> STEVEN: LOOK AT THIS JOKER, THIS JOKER WANTS TO CHOMP. YEAH, I THINK HE'S A LITTLE SHORT HERE. BUT HE'LL GROW UP TO BE A GOOD ONE, ONE DAY- WE'LL BE CATCHING HIM NEXT YEAR OR SO, SO WE'LL RELEASE HIM. >> STEFFAN: ON THE DROP- >> HUH? >> STEFFAN: ON THE DROP- (CROSSTALK) (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEFFAN: KEEPER- >> STEVEN: NICE KEEPER BASS- >> STEVEN: ALRIGHT, SO NOW WE'RE, WE'RE TYING UP A FEW LEADERS RIGHT NOW- WE'RE GETTING READY FOR THIS EBB TIDE RIGHT NOW. AND UM, WE'RE EXPECTING FOR ANOTHER GOOD BITE TO HAPPEN- SO, RIGHT NOW, WE'RE LIKE WE SAY- THOSE FISH RIGHT THERE IS PRETTY MUCH QUALITY TYPE FISH THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. AND ON THAT EBB TIDE, I'M EXPECTING TO SEE A WHOLE LOT MORE OF THAT HAPPENING. AND THEN, THIS TIME WE'RE GONNA TRY A DIFFERENT TECHINIQUE- WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE BIT OF TROLLING THIS TIME, AND UM- (MUSIC) >> STEVEN: THROW OUT SOME FISH FLASH BY YAKIMA, AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT. WHICH WE KNOW IT WILL WORK OUT. (MUSIC) (MUSIC) >> JUSTIN: WELCOME BACK TO THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY, I'M JUSTIN WOLFF. WE'RE WORKING ON LIMITS OF CALIFORNIA HALIBUT, WITH CAPTAIN STEVE MITCHELL OF HOOKED UP SPORT FISHING. LIVE BAIT HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE, BUT NOW AS THE TIDE TURNS- WE'LL LOOK TO THE INTENSE FLASH OF YAKIMA BAIT FISH FLASH TO FINISH UP OUR LIMITS ON THE TROLL. >> STEVEN: NOW WE'RE GONNA TRY A LITTLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT- WE'RE GONNA TRY SOME TROLLING, AND WE'RE GONNA TRY- THIS IS A ANGLER WEST YAKIMA FISH FLASH, SIGNATURE SERIES- AND WE'RE GONNA TRY THIS ONE RIGHT NOW, AND PUT A DROPPER ON, AND PUT SOME TRAY BAIT ON. AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, WOULD YOU HAND ME ONE OF THOSE? THANK YOU, GONNA TRY SOME TRAY BAIT- PUMP IT UP, AS YOU CAN SEE HOW WE HOOK IT UP HERE- SAME WAY, COME THROUGH THE BOTTOM JAW. AND OUT THROUGH THE NOSE, OF COURSE- AND LET ME SLIDE THAT HOOK UP A LITTLE BIT, LIKE THAT, LIKE SO- AND THEN WE JUST TAKE THE UH, THE STINGER HOOK- SOMETIMES WE LET IT DANGLE, LIKE THAT, NO NEED TO HOOK IT UP. AND THEN SOMETIMES, WE JUST DO IT LIKE THIS- WE'LL HOOK IT UP IN THE BACK, LIKE SO. ALRIGHT, SO THIS IS HOW IT BASICALLY LOOKS WHEN IT'S BEING PRESENTED TO THE FISH OUT THERE. SO THEN WE LIKE TO TAKE SOME OF THIS PRO-CURE BUTT JUICE HERE- AND UH, WE INJECT IT IN THE FISH. IT'S COMING OUT A LITTLE BIT, LIKE SO- PUT A LITTLE SCENT ON THERE, ON BOTH SIDES. AND THEN, THERE YOU HAVE IT. >> STEVE: SO WE JUST PUT ON THE FLASHERS- WE'RE TROLLING LESS THAN A MINUTE AND A HALF, AND WE'VE GOT TWO ON. (FISH SPLASHING) >> ANGEL: BIG BUTT, BIG BUTT, KEEP HIS HEAD DOWN, KEEP HIS HEAD DOWN- SLOW US DOWN, STEVE- >> STEVEN: ALRIGHT- >> ANGEL: NEUTRAL- (CROSSTALK) >> ANGEL: PULL UP, PULL UP- >> POINT THE ROD, POINT THE ROD! (FISH SPLASHING) >> I GOT MY LIMIT! >> STEVE: WE'RE TROLLING RIGHT NOW, WE JUST PUT A NICE FAT ONE IN HERE TROLLING. WE SWITCHED OVER TO TROLLING, AND WE'RE USING THE YAKIMA FOUR INCH FISH FLASH, WITH TRAY BAIT HERRING LOADED UP WITH BUTT JUICE. AND WE DOUBLED UP WITHIN TWO MINUTES OF FISHING. (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEFFAN: THAT'S A KEEPER, HUH? >> ANGEL: YEP- (FISH THRASHING) >> STEVEN: SO WE'RE ON THE TROLL, AND THESE FISH FLASH ARE DEFINITELY LURING THE FISH IN, FOR SURE. SO RODS ARE GETTING BIT WITHOUT THE FLASH ON 'EM, AND SOME ARE GETTING 'EM WITH THE FLASH ON IT. BUT EITHER WAY YOU GO, IT'S REALLY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. AND MAYBE THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE DID A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, TOO- JUST JUMPED ON A TROLL, AND COVERED MORE GROUND, AND MOPPED 'EM UP. BECAUSE WE'RE NOT EVEN MAKING IT A GOOD TWENTY YARDS BEFORE THE NEXT HOOK UP, EVERY TIME, SO- (FISH SPLASHING) (BEEP, BEEP) >> STEVE: I THINK WE'RE GETTING CLOSE TO OUR LIMIT. (FISH SPLASHING) >> STEVEN: HOOK UP ON A BIG FISH FLASH, GUYS! (LAUGHING) >> STEVEN: I BET YOU THAT'S HIM. LET'S SEE, LET'S SEE- >> STEVE: I GOT A GOOD FEELING ABOUT IT. OH, THAT'S A BIGGER WEIGHT, TOO- (CROSSTALK) >> STEVEN: THAT'S HIM, IS THAT HIM? >> ANGEL: YEP, WE'RE DONE! >> STEVEN: THAT HIM? LIMITS, BABY! LIMITS, BABY! (LAUGHING) >> STEVEN: THAT'S IT, BABY, LIMITS BABY, LIMITS- LET ME GET THAT HIGH FIVE FROM YA! (LAUGHING) >> STEVEN: HEY, WHAT A WAY TO WRAP IT UP, WITH THE FISH FLASH DOING ITS THING OUT THERE, GUYS. YAKMIA IN THE HOUSE, BABY! (MUSIC) >> STEVEN: THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT, LIMITS FOR THE BOAT- AND YOU KNOW THIS ONE RIGHT HERE HAD TO BRING US HOME, RIGHT? THIS ONE SEALED THE DEAL, BABY, THAT'S IT! IT'S A WRAP! (WHOOPING) >> LIMITS, BABY! >> STEVEN: LIMITS, BABY! (MUSIC) (MUSIC) >> JUSTIN: HEY, THANKS FOR WATCHING TODAY'S EPISODE. YOU KNOW, WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE SPONSORS, THERE WOULD BE NO SHOW- SO PLEASE THANK THEM WHEN YOU CAN. NOW GET OUT THERE AND DO SOME GREAT FISHING! (MUSIC)
