Love your Videos. I grew up in Alaska and fished a lot. Your Videos bring back all those great memories. I have been to Juneau a few times and have some friends there. Would love to get back there and do some real fishing like you. I really appreciate your style and character. Well spoken and very informative, no bs just facts.

[@CaptainZac]

Hi Bill I really appreciate the positive comment and am glad you are enjoying my videos! I'm happy to hear that these videos are bringing back some fond memories from your previous Alaskan fishing experiences! Thanks again and tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@Follower_of_The_Word]

Nice hookup in the opening scene, Zac, but Mary stole the show. You’re decked out in a raincoat & life vest and she’s sporting a sun top!😂 You are blessed to have such a great companion!

[@CaptainZac]

Hey @Follower_of_The_Word thanks for watching and yes indeed Mary did a fantastic job here! I'm very fortunate to have such a great first mate! Haha yes I wear my rain suit most of the time to avoid getting covered in fish goo. Tight lines! Captain Zac

[@clamsoup]

Alright! As someone who enjoys a good fire drill for Captain Controlled Chaos you guys just made the varsity team. Let the fish run and tucker out, hardware up and out of the way, second line back in boat, and where possible, bump into neutral. That was a master class on getting a fish into the box. Team work. Derby days are coming.

[@CaptainZac]

Hey Alan many thanks for the positive comment here! Yes indeed - there are a lot of moving parts when landing a salmon and we were fortunate that they all came together and this fish hit the net! Derby will be here soon! Thanks again and tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@mrcorona77777]

Nice fish' you guys are the dynamic duo of the fishing world.

[@jamesatkinson1738]

I zoomed in on those snow capped mountans in the back. Awesome veiw.

[@bones8057]

Thanks for the vid you guys. Can't wait to see that 60lb but.

[@CaptainZac]

Thanks @bones8057! That video will be coming up within the next month or so! Tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@stevencarlson1615]

Great fish! I love watching your videos!

[@CaptainZac]

Thanks Steve! Tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@PeelingLine]

Nice one. Sounded like tough fishing for the others out there. Beautiful fillets and nice to get one with eggs. 👍

[@CaptainZac]

Hey @PeelingLine yes indeed thanks for the positive comment and tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@waynehillstead7424]

What a beautiful day. Great fish. Fantastic fight. I am soooo jealous. Keep up the good work Captain but don't forget the halibut salad sandwich next time :-).

[@CaptainZac]

Hi Wayne thanks for the positive comment and duly noted about the halibut salad sandwich! haha Tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@jamesatkinson1738]

Capt. Zac just curious. Do you trailer your boat or you docked in that area. Nice Kings !

[@geraldanderson6561]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@CaptainZac]

Thanks @geraldanderson6561! Tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@Iced-D143]

Great video in all aspects. Action, informative. Mary is a talented mate. (Startled a bit when she climbed over the transom without her PFD.) Nice editing too. Framed well, including zooming, cut well, audio levels of narration and music perfect. Really felt like being there with you.

[@markleonard-pe3os]

Look at Mary netting that fish ! Awesome job Mary

[@CaptainZac]

Well said Mark! I appreciate the positive comment and am glad you enjoyed this king salmon action! Tight lines! Captain Zac

[@TimVaughan-bu7tq]

Nice piece of action catching that salmon. Again Alaska seems to turn it on . From south Australia we got out twice last week. 40 King George whiting & 2 dozen southern calamari. Great post Cheers Tim

[@CaptainZac]

Hi Tim thanks for stopping by and I'm glad you enjoyed this king salmon action! How cool that you caught some nice King George whiting and southern calamari! I actually caught a big squid yesterday as well. It would be interesting to compare the differences between Alaskan and Australian squid! Tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@Cntrmass]

What rod holders did you get to fit the Hewescraft rails? Luving the herring tips.

[@CaptainZac]

Hey @Cntrmass thanks for stopping by and I'm glad you enjoyed this king salmon action! I am using basic Scotty rod holders w/ rail mounts. Here is the rail mount: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001M4HT2U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1. I initially tried the Orca rod holder model but found it to be cumbersome so I switched to a more basic model. Tight lines! Captain Zac

[@Cntrmass]

@@CaptainZac thanks ordered up some. Great videos as always.

[@Bradleyoutdoorsman]

Hey Zach, how do you rig your P line squid behind your flasher without a fly Good catch

[@CaptainZac]

Hey Bradley thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed this salmon action! Starting at the two hooks on the bottom, I run a bead or two (to separate the hooks from the base of the squid), then a tinsel skirt, then the hootchie. I explain this in more details in my salmon trolling tips video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnTPqn6FZryabZo Thanks and tight lines! Captain Zac

[@Cntrmass]

Zac, so I assume you bleed the kings right away as all fish. Do you clean right away? As in get the entrails out? Ice ? Or just throw em in the box? Details my man details! Another primer for next week………

[@CaptainZac]

Hey @Cntrmass yes I do bleed the fish right away and then put it in my transom fish box (nice and cool in there). I fillet it right when I get back to the dock. Tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@kingfisher1466]

Hi, I live in Juneau Alaska too

[@CaptainZac]

Hi @kingfisher1466 thanks for stopping by and that's awesome that you are fishing locally here in Juneau as well! Perhaps we'll cross paths out there fishing one of these days! Tight lines my friend! Captain Zac

[@neillee3793]

Standing on the swim-step to net a fish without a PFD on, water looks calm there, one slip - oops ! Something to think about anyway!
