SALMON FIGHTS LINGCOD WHILE DIVING VANCOUVER ISLAND

[rezdexterraria]

That ling was very aware of your presence and wasn't scared at all. I think they are just a truly amazing fish.

[MarcusCaporicci]

That link cods jaw power must be insane. To hold a salmon like that takes insane power.

[survivalguy69]

IT LOOKS LIKE HE BIT OFF MORE THAN HE COULD CHEW

[flukes777]

Mighty salmon? Humph!

[nitroexpress700]

@cb7pwn with a camera

[benjamin975]

that cod was like "well I caught it, now what am I going to do with this damn thing" great vid, thanks!!!

[pranksterDoug]

star fish!

[XRestinxPeaceX]

best time to say to the salmon " Are You Mad Bro? "

[nate5539]

the salmon lived to see the other day!

[THUGLIFE3286]

I WOULD OF STABBED THE OTHER FISH AND ATE THE SALMON! 

[ThisisLine]

@ 0:35

"Stop moving We've been spotted"

[AZ70900]

lol salmon always looks suprised :P

[stelmon21]

Amazing...I was rooting for the salmon

[CaveofTwoLovers]

Salmon are delicious! Don't blame that cannibal.

[Rendezvousdiving]

@cb7pwn Thank you very much for your compliment. Well... I guess it was luck and nothing else. We were diving on a small reef and we saw what we thought was a flasher of a fishing boat. We swam towards it and saw the silver flashing of the salmon in the fight.

[kkoski92]

thats some good eatin

[laiyenma]

i think thats a chum salmon

[Rendezvousdiving]

@laiyenma thanks for the suggestion but I had a Salmon researcher from Alaska as a dive buddy that day and he analyzed the footage..Talking about everything coming together :)

[Rendezvousdiving]

[XxJACKSONGUITARSxX16]

haha the salmons like what the hell!! why are you just watching!!

[kai21573]

i live on vancouver island and cought green ling and ling cod. they are pretators with big teeth. i see no reason why they wouldnt catch a sleeping salmon once and a while.

[MunicipalMeep]

lingcod are BAMFS.

[KRKspeks]

3:32 i was waiting for that :).

[xColt420]

haha the salmon had an expression like holy shit im gonna die throughout the vid

[bongothemagicalmonky]

that ling cod totally zerged that salmon

[alexsmile10]

IMA TOUCH IT

[captainmess11NYR]

Good for the salmon to get away from that Fuck ugly ling cod.

[captainmess11NYR]

Ugly ass fish

[kpeng168]

those are the times that you wish you had some sort of sharp spear or dynamite

[MrChris327]

oooooh! starfish!

[tough5hit]

2:31

the salmons like "save me, please save me" lol

[firstligmo]

cool

[STtheboy]

hey it kinda looks like a golitha gupper but smaller. i was lucky enough to reel in a 300 pounder took me like two hours to get it in the boat.

[blooka1]

سبحان الله 

[inhibited44]

How it the ling cod breathing with a fish in its mouth?

[Rendezvousdiving]

Fish breath through gilles on their sides. They llook like slits that open and close

[watchmyshoes22]

@Rendezvousdiving how it the ling cod breathing what that fish in its mouth?

[paolomagnone]

@Rendezvousdiving ok, i count the other guys is so stupid, and I was thinking the exact same thing. Don`t fish breathe in thru their mouth and out of their gills? How would he inhale if the mouth is so full?

[Spoonypictures]

@Rendezvousdiving he meant how is it that the fish is breathing with the fish not able to let the water rush through the mouth and out the gills..

[Rendezvousdiving]

@Spoonypictures The bite is not so tight that no water runs through. So the fish can breath

[tylerbarton3]

@Rendezvousdiving you think so? Lol, could never of guessed. Derp.

[WESTSIEEDE]

@inhibited44 are you fucking serious -_-

[Spoonypictures]

@inhibited44 a magic spell

[Rendezvousdiving]

For all those who still doubt. This is a lingcod (common name) Ophiodan elongatus (scientific name). The sommon name part cod is deceptive as it is actually a member of the greenling family. Not rockfis, not cod or anything else

[starskaters123]

thats a rock gourupa am i right?

[winkawak]

its god damn rock fish

[ernestreyna]

iv caught some of those fish like the one eating that king in a ditch in new london california but i never knew what kind of fish they were i thought they were baby channels o n mine were babies

[AAAGTE]

amazing video, thanks for posting it!!

[AndreasLindbeck]

kill cod releas salmon :P

[beaglemanzzz]

So since It didn't bite it right, is it holding on and waiting for the salmon to die before trying to eat it again?

[albertoferreravila]

How deep was that inmersion???

[cadmiumblue]

mmm...swimmin in fish poop.

[lopallis]

dam nature.. u scary\

[Canada263]

Where in the sound is this?

[demacksful]

He bit off more than he could chew

[uomorana71]

happy end

[DarkAura92]

i would grab them both and have double the food

[cadmiumblue]

@DarkAura92 Anyone who is cruel enough to hunt and kill fish...I hope they eat that other fish, it looks very poisonous.

[nitroexpress700]

@DarkAura92 ahhh yeah baked cedar plank salmon and battered cod fish with beer batter

[MsGamerbros]

@DarkAura92 heh

[Minaruu]

It escaped. :)

[W4llyB4nger]

How deep was that?

[3oyJ]

happy fish!

[Rendezvousdiving]

Just a slight correction on two comments:

1) It is not sucking the eggs out. This was filmed in July and no Lingod has nay egg masses at that time of year. It just did not get a good bite to eat it.

2) Lingcod are only territorial when eggs are present. Nov-April... Again I filmed this in July. Its just a lucky strike

[HomeyCDawg201]

That was a king salmon. Impressive.

[Getter0Done]

@HomeyCDawg201 no chinook, looks like a sockeye

[Auroraz03]

@Getter0Done  Definitely a Chinook..

[Kestrel707]

Ling cod are EXTREMELY territorial and will literally bite ANYTHING that comes near their territory near the ocean bottom. Hence what happened when Mr Salmon rolled into the hood.

[hookbastard]

egg sucker ha ha

[cheshirematt76]

its sucking the eggs out

[Ajtv29]

what was the point of the big fish sucking on the salmon than at the end letting it go?

[zuluamuse]

No it's a lingcod!

[Xsuprio]

XD Is the brown fish breathing through its nose?

[gillettecrackers]

@Xsuprio Gills.

[Xsuprio]

@gillettecrackers watch?v=fWkxvIaKsFU

[gillettecrackers]

@Xsuprio You're so retarded that I'm surprised you can afford the brain power to type without passing out.

[Xsuprio]

@gillettecrackers watch?v=btNCce1tntE&feature=re­lated

[BorisWDell]

lilpartyboy and ampatimo you are both wrong its a ling cod cod are diffrent then ling cod

[sov19871987]

Seems like salmon feeds the whole ocean and land

[ampaitmo]

is that a grouper?

[lilpartyboy]

@ampaitmo Looks like a COD

\

[haseoice]

Give it a bro fist.

[have2fish]

STUNNING footage!!!



[ar14545]

That thing is badass

[missflutters]

both were beautiful keepers ...shuda had a spear gun...great rare vid clip

[thegoaliefrog1]

awesome vid that was two nice size fish

[guitarheropeople24]

damn if i were u i would grab both of them

[andrepaulvan]

how deep was this?

[Th2EyA0rEa1MoN2gUs]

Great video, I am diving of Vancouver at the end of the month, oh I cant wait..

[neversat]

Wow, what an amazing video. Every fisherman should see this (because it's awesome).

[azcopp]

thats when you wish you had a harpoon.

[bocephus3006]

yeah you grab a fuckin 50 lb ling cod to cut his gills. see what happens the same thing that happend to that 25 lb king!

[Th2EyA0rEa1MoN2gUs]

@bocephus3006 Right I dive with them in Washington, they have big teeth.

[o56kid]

Should have cut their gills and took them both for din din!

[bobthecar]

great video! thanks for sharing! =)

[MrGetthenet]

Very sweet video .... just priceless!!! I want both the springer ( Spring-King-Salmon ) and the Ling-cod...

[RICK11211]

No wonder salmon is expensive

[ewasankari]

scary ling

[Saltwaterfishnvideos]

thats a once in a lifetime video to see a 20 lb spring get attacked by a ling

[drmoynihan]

I just speared a lingcod yesterday on an Oregon Jetty dive, but he was nothing like the lingcod I've seen in the Puget Sound!

Thanks for this great video.

[videooman1]

Ling Cod are one of the best eating of all the bottom fish. But not noted for their intelligence. We have caught lots of them "hitchiking." That is, we catch another rockfish and a Ling Cod will just simply grab onto it and hang on until the gaff. Great video!! Thanks for sharing.

[superwhiz88]

you can catch both at the same time..

[NonSufficientFunds]

What a waste of time for the lingcod eh? ... waits four minutes, expecting the salmon to die, and he just lets it go hahah

[youngoutdoorsman2001]

Thats a big sculpin!

[davidswerdlow]

@youngoutdoorsman2001 It is not a sculpin, its a ling cod

[youngoutdoorsman2001]

@davidswerdlow Ohh. First I thought it was a Cabezon, or a Sea raven sculpin.

 Thanks.

[magikkalpickels]

Thats a nice spring salmon.

[ChowZeb]

Is cod a type of monster goby?

[davidswerdlow]

@ChowZeb No it is a type of rock fish

[VOVKARFRC]

is that a giant bullhead??

[davidswerdlow]

@VOVKARFRC Not a bullhead, its a ling cod

[dirtbikemike69]

Man those Lings are aggressive!

[pyros46290]

damn that is so cool you got that on camera. imagine how good that would taste... lingcod that has been fed salmon! kinda like feeding a cow nothing but barbeque sauce its entire life the making burgers. real surprise salmon got away tho. probly didnt make it too long

[SalmonSlayer1991]

@pyros46290 like kobi beef where the only liquid the cows drink is beer god i want a kobi burger so expencive though

[MCGyver11994]

I´d take the salmon and the lingcos and have them for dinner!

[PlummyVideos]

I suppose if someone had that salmon on a line they would have gotten two fish. It has happened to several times with those lings hanging on like that. Cool to see it like that. I sure diddn't it would get away.

[bcmollyhogan]

That's amazing!!!!! A once in a life time encounter, thanks for sharing.

[TheBigfishcatcher01]

great video

[mp512345]

sushi

[beachxbumz]

cool video... last summer i lost a big lingcod but not that big as this one though

[underwaterreporter]

props! peter

[morganreid]

Any chance the diver had an effect on the outcome?

[SonnyRCAFDC3]

@morganreid Da!!!!!!!!!

[vineminer]

Sashimi eating..... sashimi!

[d5kenn]

Whoa, awesome! It's like the ling just decided it was a bit too much to chew and left.

[furcata]

That was great...I can't believe the ending!

[DepthChargerDoug]

WOW!!
