[@AddictedFishing]

What do you guys think of the new intro?! 🤔

[@philhildebrand9266]

Better each time i see it.

[@SSSVETTE]

Addicted fishing is on point. Keep on doing what you guys do. The subscribers will come.

[@captainawesome4983]

It’s what I am looking for.. I dig it!

[@mackwysocki9579]

Love it

[@2009jbreese]

Like the footage but miss the old/slower music.

[@tlpoutdoorsman]

Fantastic job!! Kevin should be a regular. slow, precise, speaks clearly, doesn't miss a beat.

[@AddictedFishing]

tlpoutdoorsman Noted! We will have more of Kevin.

[@fattythulu]

@@AddictedFishing i too agree on kevin

[@wojomojo]

I love that Kevin is no hype, right on with info, no BS. Not every host is like him and I appreciate it.

[@AddictedFishing]

wojomojo That’s great feedback! More Kevin!!

[@jamescofer373]

Jordan is exactly the same. No bullshit. I have no idea what you're talking about if concerning Addicted.

[@archmasterone]

@@jamescofer373 Jordan is great except for the occasional "F" word. It make it hard to use his videos as a teaching aid for my grand-kids. They don't need to think it's how fisherman are suppose to talk. I try hard to never swear in front of those little shits.

[@10MinutestoRouletteFortune]

From Oregon to Alaska just 6 months ago. This is a go to method up here too. I just so happened to buy 2 blocks from a creek and today learned they stock it with Coho. I found my slice of heaven with pure luck.

[@kaplanrick82]

man kevin knocked it outta the park, great video . more of the these would be awsome. very informative for us noobs

[@AddictedFishing]

goon one More coming up!

[@deoncross1579]

We add a hevi bead above our eggs to make sure they dont float up off the bottom. Should make a video on spoons for coho and steelhead!

[@AddictedFishing]

Deon Cross Spoon video coming up!! 🤘🎣

[@captainawesome4983]

Every video that I have watched has taught me something new!! Man I appreciate it!!to be honest I have friends who are advanced fishermen and I never wanna look stupid in front of them. Addicted has elevated my game!! Thanks for that!

[@AddictedFishing]

Captain Awesome 😎 Thanks for watching and commenting! We’re stoked you’re learning. Keep smashing them out on the water.

[@taylori808]

I had the honor of fishing with kevin on Saturday and had a great time. Learned so much and just a great guy. Sunday i was fortunate enough to be able to get out with jordan as well. Another great guy and wealth of knowledge. I couldnt stop learning out there! If you havent id greatly reccomend getting out there with these guys! Awesome guys!

[@AddictedFishing]

Taylor Ishikuro Thats killer!! You catch some fish?

[@taylori808]

@@AddictedFishing yes. With kevin we caught one keeper. And with jordan we caught a couple no keepers tho. But just being out fishing catch or not is what its about.

[@AddictedFishing]

Taylor Ishikuro Awesome!

[@taylori808]

@@AddictedFishing yup! Ill see you guys tomorrow at sportco!

[@jasonstouder]

This guy rules. Good teacher.

[@archmasterone]

Super, killer, waazoo explanation. The best video I've seen on this subject. I also like the fact there was not a bunch of silliness to distract in the making of this video. Perfectly done. Thanks

[@tylerdowling6480]

Addicted fishing is so awesome like I can’t even explain how much I’ve learned from watching this channel!

[@ericolsen9799]

My man, you nailed this video!! great job. the first knot you made with braid is a uni knot as everyone knows, but it is worth mentioning.

[@fishn_aaron_outdoors4984]

Kevin is a great teacher. Very calm and informative. No hype, just straight forward. Thanks Kevin! Hope to see more vids from you. Your great too Jordan! 😂👍🎣

[@AddictedFishing]

Aaron C More videos from Kevin! We’re on it.

[@paulbernhardt1378]

River fishing is a whole new experience and technique, best video I have ever seen! Well done!

[@jesusalcazar733]

That sound of nature in the background is amazing

[@fishduckdog]

Great informative video 👍🏽. Keep up the good work

[@andrewwebster13]

He's the guy you need for specific instruction and the camera work is great I missed nothing, learned a bunch! thank you from the great lakes region western NY. Now come fish devils hole Niagara Falls!!! Huge water and 15-20 foot leaders!!

[@jeffreyvanhorn1996]

So, guys...I do not think this could have been presented any better, at all. As far as the clarity, demonstrating; actually, every bit of it was absolutely excellent. The camera close ups, the pace of Kevin's descriptions, were perfect. Thank you very much. I want to try my hand at fall chinook on the banks of the Umpqua in southern Oregon. I know you guys love what you do, and I want to thank you for making such great videos! Really really great stuff here.

[@goldseekersadventures9380]

Great info thank you I’m trying to set my pull up for drifting and you showed everything. Thank you.

Awesome video! An old dog can learn new tricks! Keep em coming.

[@jacobbeke50]

This is great! I would recomend this to someone who wants to get into skein fishing

[@NFiltr8Red]

Awesome video, I fish my local rivers and ocean and teach new anglers as I’m fishing. It’s ain’t fun unless the fishing homies get some!

[@AddictedFishing]

NFiltr8Red Keep educating! It’s rewarding getting your buddies on fish!

[@lynnchandler5845]

Clear and concise! Thanks for that. Lots of general info on bobbers I can use as a newbie.

[@AddictedFishing]

Lynn Chandler We have more coming! Turn on that 🔔

[@DonohoeDSc]

Nice job in presentation and knowledge transfer. Kevin’s easy delivery had me thinking I could hang out and fish all day...great way to showcase his guide service.

[@earthling9374]

Kevin is like the Bob Ross of fishing. Love it!

[@jasoncraig5321]

Excellent tutorial! Well explained and right to the point.

[@DanyloSmychenko]

This video is so helpful for new fishers. Thank you very much I definitely will try it next time 👍🏼

[@AddictedFishing]

Даниил Смыченко Good luck!

[@zady420]

Good job, answered everything I wondered about.

[@cluelessfisherman4555]

You should also mention using split shots on your leader to help get your bait in the "zone"....you can use a little longer leader and the split shots help you know if you're at the proper depth since they are less likely to snag on bottom.

[@AddictedFishing]

Knight ISA Great tip! Thanks for the comment.

[@tiffanyrich2108]

Thank you for this Kevin. My husband and I are heading out this weekend to the 6th street bridge in GR to see if we can catch our first fall salmon. I am going after work to attempt to get all the stuff to set up our poles and hit the river first thing. Thanks for the straight forward, clear and detailed video. Only thing I would change is to add a shopping list at the end of the video so it is easier to make a list for us newbs.

[@zachh3293]

The new intro Is soooo awesome!!!👍

[@AddictedFishing]

Zach H Glad you guys like it!!

[@ScreamingReelsTV]

13:00 This is the key to float fishing for coho right here folks, a balanced float at the right depth. You need to have your bait slightly ABOVE the fish. The bright fish will rise to bite, your float will plunge, you'll get a good hook set. Also, you won't snag up on the bottom. Excellent video for the newbs and something for the beaks to learn from.

[@martindanzer5102]

I've struggled with floating eggs so this was very helpful. I tend to avoid this technique yet see others people catch lots of fish this way. Any more videos showing this method would be appreciated.

[@AddictedFishing]

Martin Danzer We have more coming

[@martindanzer5102]

Thanks!

[@phils6733]

Exactly the video I needed, thanks buddy great stuff!

[@chrisclearman5244]

That's my favorite technique out there, then twitching. Bobber draining down is so addicting. Been slaying the ho's and kings on a few OP tribs. Great video, was hoping to see a bobber down.😜

[@AddictedFishing]

It’s hard to beat a bobber draining!

[@clarkriccobuono3903]

Awesome tutorial, great job. Very well explained. Thank you

[@clayandersen3309]

Love the new Intro! Every video just keeps getting better, is there a certain time of the year you guys like to start using bobber and eggs? Or is it more of a conditions thing? Just cured my first batch of salmon eggs last week, super excited to use them! was able to do that with one your guys videos to!

[@AddictedFishing]

Clay Andersen If you have coho and Chinook in your rivers, eggs will work all the time!

We were in to the 'hos last weekend on a north fork of an Oregon coastal river. Could only seem to pull natives in though. Still, we had a ton of fun that day! Beat a lot of brush and tromped a lot of mud. Came home tired, soaked to the bone and muddy all over. It just doesn't get much better..

[@woodinvillefitbodybootcamp2281]

Always great content!! Thanks

[@jakewild1138]

Your set up is interesting. I steelhead fish n my set up is a 13 foot, ultralight, soft action rod; 2500 series reel with 6 lb fluorocarbon; same type of float but about half the size; splitshot string down from the float spaced about 8 inches apart (weight size dependent on flow rate); and like a size 10 or 12 wide circle hook. Then for bait depending on the run; if high salmon numbers - pink spawn bags; if heavy steelhead run - small egg, beige / natural spawn bag about 18" - 24" below the splitshot string. For depth, approximately a foot or so above the fishes heads. They like to swim up to the food.

[@LeeandMira]

Makes sense. Thanks

[@kennethjohnson347]

great job on teaching I love the video

[@AZ-gs6hj]

What’s the difference between using a baitcaster/ spinner for float fishing? Maybe a video idea on what is best for different methods?

[@AddictedFishing]

A Z Great question! We will cover that in a future video.

@@AddictedFishing Yeah buddy! Fish on.

[@greglucero8714]

Boo ya, that's my set up right there! No weight tho, I like to watch my bobber "stand up" then tank. Heart pounding stuff right there

[@drk4149]

Coho fishing this season has been horrendous around the puget sound areas and local streams this season. I've only had 1 that I kept that weighed in at the 6lb range.. most caught have been small 2-4lbers.. I've let go the year-lings I've been lucky to land. Most every one I've talked to around the areas I fish, have shared the same experiences this season. And by the looks of the wdfw escapement reports, and the emergency rule update a couple weeks ago about 1 coho daily limits, it would appear I'm not alone in the struggle. Next up; chum fishing, hopefully I'll be able to recover my confidence in fishing for those brutes soon.

[@AZ-gs6hj]

No That's not Right Yeah I agree. Been fishing some sound rivers and have caught over 20 and they’ve all been quite tiny. Some decent ones but nothing shocking.

[@AddictedFishing]

No That's not Right Chum’s are so much fun!!

[@brianfarmer6223]

Awesome video, cool new intro also 🤙 elevator music sucks at beginning though lol. Also, should have explained the hook set. I feel like that’s where most people struggle at first.

[@AddictedFishing]

brian farmer hmmm, I loved the music but we noted your opinion! The hook set is good info. We will cover that in another video.

[@brianfarmer6223]

Sounds cheesy, but doesn’t effect video. I love watching, thx!!

[@troutstalker7855]

Nice info video dude, it confirmed that my set up is good. Q- Generally how long of a leader do you use with this set up.. I usually used about 18inches. Is that too short.? Thankyou

[@AddictedFishing]

trout stalker 18-24” is good.

Hi Kevin, awesome presentation. My question as a beginner float salmon fishing. Can you float fishing with very slow moving water or no movings water such as the Green River?

[@jjholste9748]

Epic intro👍🏼

[@ReuvenEtzion]

Great info! I’m still wondering about the gloves. Is that so the fish don’t smell his hands or so he doesn’t smell fish on his hands? Is it “cinch” knot or “clinch” knot?

[@thundaciousD]

Great setup! I was wondering if any of you guys do any center pin stuff

[@AddictedFishing]

Matt Allen No. but we plan on trying it out this winter!
