Columbia river is for Hosers....Take off EH!

Great episode! Unfortuante it was a Coho derby that year but we got back in 2024 for the chum and the fishing was amazing! Browns Bay Resort always puts on an incredible event and we will come every year possible.

Holy balls this guy blows

I dunno.....I feel like those open eye siwash hooks are the worst idea. If you already have your split ring pliers out to remove the original hook, why not use a hook with a proper eye that you don't have to bend? If you risk weakening the eye of the hook simply y installing it.. that's just another unnecessary potential point of failure. I know they're popular, but I've never used them, and don't plan to start.

Also remember ur DR Ball and lure depth changes with speed to.... 45 angle at 30' down changes to say only 25' down at 50 angle.

Amazing footage

The strength on these fish is just insanity!!! It’s what an angler lives for!!

Thank Mike , nice seeing Dan reeling in fish . Early season fishing is a tuff go .

Nice video. Thanks for the tips. We’ve slowed down and minimized our presentation and had some recent success for chums in Puget Sound.

What are a couple of your top winter fisheries ?

Great season! always stoked to see new episodes posted up.

👍🏻🇨🇦

awesome! I love your shows. I can't wait until the next season.

Any recommendations on smaller rivers to fish out that way? Besides elk bull and kootneay

Ram? No thanks bring back your old truck.

👍🏻🇨🇦

Great video! Also great to see DFO got their act together this year and opened up Chum. Hope it’s a banger derby this year!

👍🏻🇨🇦

Great video, thanks guys.

Very good and simple explanation thank you👍🏽

2 years ago I pulled up crab trap’s exactly where you are fishing like to the tee

Nobody around the wharf is going to tell you where the halibut is. Thats money fish when you find then you keep quiet lol

Glad I can watch it here cause there's no way I could justify paying for this experience.

Wow what a trip I have never seen so many massive fish in my life that’s crazy wow

Awesome to include the family! Look forward to part 2. Cheers!

Terrible camera work just at an important time in the video. Duh

Mike just lost his show! LOL

Please don’t mention the name of the lake, that’s how the area keeps getting ruined.

What was the name of the lake if your willing to give it up

Hi thanks for this vidio Can we use this method in summer like aug

this wierdo shouldnt be advertised after what he did in tofino

What time of year was this? Did you say in the show and i missed it?

where can i find those spoons

Brutal! No way that fish survived. Played forever than taken into the boat like that. No recovery, It didn’t swim off. Mike knows better fish handling than that… this was super sad to watch.

Always enjoy watching the two of you fishing together. Lots of laughs

What kind of rods and reels are they using? Looks like a mini moocher setup 😁😁

Great fish! The weights you used (inline) where can I get them!? TIA

Love watching your channel this was a great episode. That tyee was a beauty. You guys seem like it would be fun to go fishing with. That conversation corner was great something really needs to be done. I would love to get myself and my family seal meat if they ever do culling.

Great Conservation Corner on Pinniped management. We need action on this ASAP. It blows my mind how slow the government is dragging their hands on this issue.

We lose a lot of our fish to seals when we leave the reels ratchet on. This is especially true off the Wall and Whittlestone.

Rivers Inlet is a spectacular place to fish and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I was fortunate to start fishing there in the late nineties as well as working at a lodge for 8 years. Really appreciate your video's Mike and congratulation on your Tyee.

That is a once in a lifetime fish in every way!

That’s awesome video thanks for sharing Me and my buddy were just there in June of this year we had a great time this place is my next fishing spot Oli Resort is awesome they now where to get you the fish We got our limits of salmon ,halibut,lings, and sea bass I loved it there I will make another trip there in the next few years Thanks again for sharing your video it brought back memories from being there

Stoked for season 14!

Great episode, came across your channel by chance, really great to see Sid, absolutely love Duncanby and all the staff at the lodge. Can’t wait to get back there and they do so much good work with the hatchery.

John is the man. ❤

Awesome show

I agree with everyone else. No real visual as to how this works, just words. Slow motion didn't show anything. This cable looks much thicker than my stainless cable.

How many test pounds of bread do you recommend 150lb , 200 or 250lb ?

I've caught brood stock for a few hatcheries and have some tips for you; use heavier gear so you can get the fish in quickly, don't handle the fish so much. The survival rates go down drastically if you exhaust the fish by playing them for a long time on light gear, and they can be prone to fungal infections when you damage their slime coat by unnecessarily handling them to display for the camera. Also, get the hooks out quickly and get them in a live tank, don't hold them up in the air for minutes at a time. Also, don't use bait, it causes a lot more aggressive attacks and you get hooked deeper quite often, leading to damage to the gills which will of course kill the fish or severely injure them, possibly causing them to expire before harvesting roe/milt. So, other than doing literally everything wrong, good job!
