That's a huge fish.. it doesn't look close to even 100 imo

I really wish we wouldn’t refer to them as king salmon. No need to Americanize our fishery.

Dude! Such a cool video! Nice to see so much life under the surface! Especially with the clumate changing the way it is. Love the crawdads!

Good stuff JD i appreciate your content I tend to be one of those guys that gets caught up in all the technical stuff and clouds my fishing thank you

I like the design of your boat. What make and model is your boat?

I think this is what I was experiencing yesterday. What a holes. lol it was so annoying

12:44 this doesn't look real.

Remember Larry Soenborn fishing the Snake River for sturgeon! Sure looks like fun! Were using trout way back when.

Very kool man

That was cool.

Awesome!

NICE! You should have been sniping for gold in that first spot. That looked prime. Next time, start fanning the dirt and watch what the fish do. They become like cats that are waiting for you to feed them.

So clean so real and quiet, i can study the fish behavior on where they can be

nice clear mountain stream good diversity in the fish Very Good To See!

Awesome perspective JD- I’m sure that was just a little chilly - keep up the unique content

Togiak river lodge?

Which was is better for fall steelhead fishing in faster water? The sidewinder or the above side planner??

My dad caught an 80 pounder in the kenia at Harry"s hole. We released it on june 30. Could have kept it the next day back on the 90s. Nowadays I csnt help but think I might catch a grandson. Makes me cry every drift in front of Ruebens place

Remember when the feather river had big salmon 😭 and ALOTS OF SALMON?

Here at torniojoki river in finland salmons dont "eat" anything when spawn trippin from ocean. But still it may bite to fly or lure. Does salmon behave same way in there?

Huge respect for letting this king go🙏🏼

Why let it go? Eat that fish

I'd like try smoking trout so here I am. I also don't like a lot of fancy flavored brine/rubs in smoked fish. Can't go wrong with a basic brown sugar salt mix. Good video.

Over the years of watching retail surf perch this is the best

Wsp

Yoo its jax

I fish Monterey bay in California 509 plus perch crew fish everyday legally so me and my sqaud sure as heck don’t Fugg around that 831 crew in Monterey , come down and fish we FISHON type in my sqaud no KOOKIE WANNABES ALLOWED SHOOT!!

Super glue a dab a do ya instead of rebarb hooks if moneys tight like most in California coast line just saying I’m not gonna quit fishing but damn getting to expensive we’re fishing make it cool for most we’re not playing ps5 we’re fishing y’all cmon most fishermen are smart people smart enough not to throw tgey dollars at bullsht , right ?

These fish remind me of hunting steelhead structures water current wave height just saying and they scrap well on my medium action 8’6 Lamiglass x11

Awesome tutorial! How do you manage the pin bones? Do they become brittle enough to eat after the entire process?

Would smoking this on the green egg also work?

Memory Lane! Great video

Holy moly! I’ll be putting this on my smoking bucket list! 😂

Could have done the video without the Titanic music… unless you’re sinking the boat.

I'd like to find out what the biggest salmon record would be on the Skagit River in Washington state? It's my favorite river to fish for salmon. And the Springers are running in it right now. So far I've landed 2 around the 20 pound range but I've seen a few in there recently that gotta be closer to the 30 pound range?!

Just got back from the Black Hills in South Dakota. We absolutely hammered the rainbow trout brought a bunch back home to Minnesota. Can’t wait to try your recipe. I’ve done a lot of video watching on KZbin and your process is the most appealing to me. Thanks for posting.

Your fish was more than my sister

Love fishing the snake

Why was the drag on the rod so sloppy and not smooth? Wouldn't that increase chance losing the fish?

Number 10 had to be let go. I am glad they did

Hell of a salmon 👍

Epic adventure!

Pretty cool. I think everyone should do this at least once in their life. I mean, the feeling of bonking a smallmouth is pretty special. And catching oversize sturgeon should be done at least once too.

Super cool beautiful fish! 👍👍👍

Awesome stuff man. Looks like a good time was had by all except the smallies. 15 years ago I learned Shad tricks from JD’s website. Thanks man.

Was Gareth the mystery man behind the camera? I thought I caught a glimpse of him in one or two shots. What a fantastic outing!

What camera were you using ??

Not actually paint but vinyl

What did you use. I am going out to lake tohoe in two weeks and i am really wanting to fish, but i dont know much about trout fishing

Hi! Would just like to let you know I tried your brine mix, and it was my first time to smoke fish. I smoked some Goldeye and Mooneye, and they tasted well with the Alder wood chips. I’m so happy it was a success. Thank you! (June 9, 2024)
