ALASKA HAS WILDFIRES, We’re Out! Dolly Varden Catch And Cook

[@gregmcmaster1606]

Best show on you tube. Nothing but quality content. Taku is a true talent.....

[@thelinecook]

So modest Taku. I think the salad looked amazing. Fish skin croutons and ikura made it 👌. I loved seeing you hop around different rivers and do some fly fishing. Alaska is just gorgeous. The vibe of this video is definitely a nice change. Super relaxing. Every video is really just amazing in its own way.

[@Max-dv7dg]

everyday when im stressed i watch one of these videos. thank you

[@jignpigs9983]

The drone shots with the pair of eagles along with the Piano music was breathtaking thanks for sharing Taku!

[@aquaviii]

Relaxing Views !!! 🎹🏕🌤

[@jjsfishing8226]

Another great vid! When nymphing, set the hook downstream to get better hook sets in the corner of the mouth. Cheers!

[@diegoyachi3015]

mad respect for the consistency, but not just that. The QUALITY of your videos. mucho amor

[@petertrout8140]

Jocelyn saw you drop the fish int the fire and thought….”no thanks”……🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@corbfisher]

I love how you take a sip of beer. "First, a sip of (whatever)." Proceeds to gulp half the can on the first sip! Life is good.😁

[@izaakhunter5058]

Then says “That’s good!”

[@hankremer6606]

Agree! Every “sip” is a major chug-a-lug!!

[@Justice1911A1]

Fantastic vid, I love how you try new things and we get to see the mistakes too (hello fish head into the fire, that gave me a huge belly laugh). Keep up the good work. P.s. I’m with Jocelyn when it comes to a good book. 😂

[@k4x4map46]

Yes the Eagle pair was certainly majestic! Nice fish salad gotta try the crunchy fish skin croutons!!

[@countrysoutdooradventures998]

Love the videos but if I could make a recommendation I’d recommend getting a net with rubber netting your flies won’t get stuck nearly as easy and just Incase you catch a fish you don’t wanna keep the rubber net also doesn’t wipe off nearly as much slime off the fish like the fabric nets do . Thanks so much for sharing all your adventures!

[@WadeBaune]

Good job Taku! I love it when your trying things outside the box. For the future, after you fillet the fish or butterfly in this case and you want to keep the skin on. The pin bones can be removed fairly easily by cutting down next to them without cutting through skin. Then run the top of your thumb nail between the cut pin bones and the skin from the back to the front of the fillet. They will come of the skin fairly easily. This is how I get boneless fillets of trout with the skin on for the smoker.

[@ahancho]

thank you for sharing!

[@outdoorbae]

As a biology major ,i love your videos!! Encourage me a lot ,and learning a lot.. Thank you.

[@brandon8980]

Same here! Good luck with your studies

[@outdoorbae]

@@brandon8980 thank you so much., u2

[@PotentPotatoe83]

from one bio major to another, taku is it

[@aquaviii]

Biology FTW !!! 👩‍🔬

[@imthe619er]

Taku is such a solid and cool dude. Talented af. Always look forward to taku tuesdays!!🤙🤙

[@phoenixrvr517]

Itching for more Alaskan catch and cook, a little research and development for the boys and girls back home.! Great work Taku!

[@michaelwarden5349]

THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SHOW. PLEASE KEEP UP ALL YOUR SHOWS WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I WISH I COULD BE THERE. I AM WITH YOU AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS. THANK YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH FOR EVERYTHING.

[@bigpun0]

Not the book 📖 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Paulpoission]

I like the bald Eagle in the drone shot! That was lucky

[@NomadHomad]

Alaska is such a beautiful place. I'm glad you're getting to explore it. I'd deff recomend driving down the 101 on your way back

[@betzaidavazquez5579]

Thanks for sharing the drone shots and that Beautiful Aerial view that looked like a Bob Ross painting, those eagles were incredible. Looking forward to more of your adventures. Safe and Happy travels 💕🚐🎣🌟👍

[@theoldsurffisher1943]

Taku; you're not a novice fly fisher. Plus for an SF city fellow you can rough it with a smile in AK camping environs. Unfortunate that you did not get to Fairbanks as graying (12-15 inch) in the late '60's were very readily catchable in the upper Chena River (2nd bridge) on silver Hot Rod spoons. I love that crispy skin too.

[@scottyplug]

8:33-8:49 was SICK!!!!! What a great video.

[@BranNew1]

Hey Bro.. get the slack line to yer fly reel as fast as possible every time you hook up with a fish.. The reel has a drag system for a reason, and you will play those fish much better from now on..🙌

[@SumoomuS1192]

Awesome video. A quick tip or how i strip line at least is i dont pull from above my main hand. I use my finger as another guide if you will. That way you wont have to grip it again and if you do feel something just tighten your grip and set the hook. Tight lines!!

[@hankremer6606]

You’re the best. Love every episode.

[@PatricioTv-]

That salad looked 💣 !

[@alibentz8692]

Did you look for berries? It’s berry season in Alaska!

[@carlosthesickpervert]

8:41 I was like that place is Majestic! Kinda place you'd see a bald eagle soaring! And on 8:43 bald eagles soaring!! That's my vision of majestic!!!

[@broomstickcowgirl]

Alaska is just the most beautiful state!! I LOVE the views, just so serene and peaceful!

[@merumeru241]

I watch his all videos since the pandemic and now I'm 18 and I am proud that I learned a lot of his cooking ,fishing skills.

[@merumeru241]

I can't believe it 😱😳

[@medannylee1]

Beautiful part of the country!!!

[@willisgemutlich2608]

couldn't wait for tomorrow, had to rewatch and thought of something when you flipped the board. how about some fish/crab print camping tablecloths?!? Also I keep wanting the see the back of the crab on the back of the shirts. Have fun up there for me!

[@corysexton3970]

It is so fun watching your videos you are so cool it makes me want to get outdoors more

[@MAJJJJJJ]

I think its great when you open your beer and take your first drink its like you cant put it doun and it looks like you REALLY enjoy that first drink

[@paulnakada]

Who among your fans hasn't dropped a fish onto the coals. It happens, and it just adds to the flavor. 😂😂💪💪

[@BigBwana69]

Since you are new to fly fishing, try to get your fish on the reel and not pinch the line with your hand. When you hit bigger fish the line will burn you or your leader will snap on a big run before you can let go. Great videos and look forward to them on Tuesday’s. Is the deliciously invasive series done?

[@Rspksource]

been missing my home lately, always love the alaska videos... just a next time if you get a grayling, scale it and fry it up coated in cornmeal, thats the way we do it in the yukon!

[@mikedelacruz3135]

Awesome catch and cook Taku ✊🏼🧐. Hey a lil salad now and again is a good thing Brotha!! Loving the Alaska series, cheers y’all 🍻👊🏼😎🤙🏼

[@lengher1984]

Wow! It looks so beautiful and peaceful! Awesome drone shots!!

[@Pyan1]

Dolly varden are the most underrated fish in Alaska! I think they are super fun to fight especially on light tackle and they taste amazing!

[@triggeredfanboy1696]

That grilled fish looked so good, Taku. Enjoy!

[@devilfish70]

I fallow hand few people on KZbin, but buy far your such an inspiration what life has to offer, I have one of your moms aprons and gifted to a friend. DAMM MESQUITE!!! Thank You!!!

[@geeganmj]

Fun video man - love the genuine love for local nature and a beer to end the akatsuki! Wanted to let you know there is a collapsible salad spinner that we use as a spinner, strainer and soaker. Green in color!

[@miassaltlife7398]

Beautiful drone pics. Thank you for all your hard work. Really look forward to seeing your videos

[@TheSparklyBeader87]

Beautiful footage of the area! Hi to you and Jocelyn. Food looks delicious! 💖🌹🐟

[@rikspector]

Taku, You helped the fire to get ahead:) That looks so good:) Cheers, Rik Spector

[@KMaC-wt9lr]

I got my slippers on... - I nearly slipped... working. 😄👍🍻

[@anjayprak9754]

Can you do more forging mushrooms videos?! 😍

[@qngosfchronicle]

Another fire video Taku! Alaska is amazing. Wish you could be back in the Bay Area for Fisherman's Life meet up. I just wanted to say hello in person to my favorite content artist.

[@thirdeyemindtrick]

I bet the creamy gochu jang with the salty pop of the ikura and crispy skin was magic

[@toddramsay977]

You need to reel up some of your line so you don’t get it hung or tangled in something. Great job catching the fish.

[@willisgemutlich2608]

"get somthin' on the fly" love it. I gotta check my geography I don't know how you cross canada to get back to alaska. been a while. glad you check the local fishing rules they vary a lot. barbless, no keep, numbers, everything. bring back some sea otters to eat these urchins and breed, we need them back. benkyo nihongo shimas, but only on the hirigana, haven't gotten up to katakana yet, benkyo. and it's been like 20 yearsish but you've inspired me to check back into it. I think I have commitment issues I speak a little spanish, a little german, and a little french, a little italian, a little hungarian, but not fluent in anything. It's just hard to figure out what to study and commit to. Your production value is great, I don't know how you and joc do it, but it's high quality. Dang your knife skills are encrible' (that is the french talking) thanks for that. I never toss salad I leave the toppings on top and leave the different dressings on the table so everyone can get the right proportions and choose their own. You don't have that problem since you know your partner and you're alone together. when you gonna stop buying cameras and drones and get a ring? delete that if you want to.

[@fishsalmon8747]

Taku, love that T-shirt with the crab!!!!

[@amymoneghan8237]

I'm hoping to head to Alaska next summer sometime. I will have to hit you up on the best places to go. Luv your videos no matter where you are

[@Shane.sBeard]

Dolly Varden (Bull Trout) can get way bigger than Sockeye. I was waiting for you to hook a monster, LOL! We cant keep them in Oregon. More of a salmon/char than trout, I’ve always wondered where the Bull Trout name came from…. Great video as always!

[@pinhighdiscdyes]

That was an ALASKA sized beer!!! hahaha that salad looked amazing too!

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

I'm glad to see you pick up fly fishing.

[@BlindmanOutdoors]

Haines is gorgeous, it was one of the first long road trips we took as a family, definitely a beautiful town.

[@ak1ra1i]

Love your videos TAKU-san, it’s very ZEN like. Jozu! And thank you for sharing your journey.

[@andreasz7986]

Hey Buddy, u've been doing videos 4 maybe 5 years now and ur very comfortable and relaxed. Now u gata find other words 2 describe the delicious foods u make other than, hmmm thats Good!!!! U use that too many times. Just good critizism, love u and joclyn and ur videos!!!!

[@maxp4573]

Dude, I've been silently, semi silently following your channel for I don't know, two years ? But holy shit if there was ever a spot to smoke a Joint it was at that Bench by the Waterfall :D Dude what the hell I would've never left :D Love the Content Taku and Joclyn

[@hgflies]

Love seeing you use a fly rod taku! Have a peek at the rocks in the shallow slack water of the river next time you fish, you’ll quickly find exactly what you should be imitating! There will be aquatic insects on the a lot of the rocks depending on the time of day, it’s always the first thing I do when I get to the river and I find it very successful! Amazing video brother keep up the amazing videos and delicious food 😍🙌

[@stephenpeterson5435]

When you said you needed croutons and I was like use the fish skin and BOOM you did it!👌🏻

[@reagend1841]

Great video yet again! That research and development joke had me dying 😂. But seriously loved the video and the dish as always, Taku!

[@Sotnek79]

The eagles flying in the drone shot is cool!😊

[@AwaitAwake]

You’re my inspiration!! Keep it up brother!

[@shenron611]

What a beautiful dish taku! Cheers bro! Splash zone! Haha

[@cjackfly]

What a beautiful fish! Very inspiring.

[@andyxiong5548]

Heyyyy fly fishing is so much fun man! Hope you continue to do so in your future videos!

[@contradicsean]

Dang, i wanna check out all the places youve been to and filmed at Watching thr drone shot and music almost made forget i was watching a outdoor chef video… neautiful

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That was awesome that you got to go to the Yukon Territory, in Canada, on your way to the other part of Alaska. I've never heard of that type of fish before, but it looks great with the way you grilled it, and also put it in a salad. It's also a bonus to get crispy fish skin. Cheers, Taku and Jocelyn! #TakuTuesday ✌️🇨🇦🇺🇸🎣

[@petemoney451]

my favorite thing is watching you take a sip of well earned beer after working hard all day on fishing and cooking.

[@TheChillerman57]

This was such a beautiful drone video!

[@PerfectoM]

Here fishy, fishy, fishy! Nice video and thank you for posting your video. 🐟🎣🐟🎣

[@HaiFishing]

Taku, your worst dish looks like most people’s best dishes they’ve ever made! Looks delicious mate!

[@jaykinersly5142]

Beautiful Video Taku.....I give you a 7 on the Taku Beer Chug Meter

[@johnscottspencer]

Beautiful! What makes the water so green?

[@christopherlee4613]

So cool 😎 watching you fly fishing😁

[@thuy__]

I'm so hungry now lol, Jocelyn looks like Coraline in that yellow jacket 🤣🤣🥰

[@TomGiffin]

I would love to see the two of you take a trip to Japan and film some catch and cooks there! This is probably one of my favorite KZbin channels along with NWFS. You all are such good folk! I’d love to do one of your subscriber trips. How do we find out about those? And man that is one large can of beer! 😂 Thanks for another great vid and adventure! Safe Journeys!

[@austinw.1703]

If you scroll back a few years through his channel you can see a whole Japan series. They went prior to covid. Great videos!

[@TomGiffin]

@@austinw.1703 I joined the channel a little over a year ago. I haven’t had a chance to go back and look at them all. I will look those up and check them out. Thanks!

[@AK-ge5kp]

I live on top of Alaska. When we fish for greys we use spinners 0 1’s and 2’s the black fury silver spinners works best

[@chir0pter]

what an awesome adventure. would be cool if alaska stayed more that temp year round and green like tasmania or new zealand

[@johncarr955]

Cheers, another fine video. Thank you

[@jacobsenjim96]

drone shot with the bald eagle mmmmm chef's kiss

[@johngates3040]

[@kirtthomason4620]

[@Talonthir]

Great stuff Taku!

[@AGH0STB0I]

Cant believe I'm this early in the comments. Your Alaska videos are awesome and inspire me to do better and live life to the fullest. Thank you taku💜💜💪😎

[@heresmikey]

Beautiful! Thanks 🙏

[@corysexton3970]

Thank you for teaching me so much

[@sheybaby6504]

Great catch and cook that salad looked really good!!!

[@stilife1942]

The food you make I bet is amazing!!!! Plus I like how you have a little micro brew fest, when grilling it is 100% required! I’m in love with your style! It’s what i do, except I’m not as amazing. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@onamissionfishin]

Subie life!!! Haha have you been here since taku had his?!

[@geri9839]

Enjoyed the video! Ty for sharing..

[@rogerrichardson2223]

Taku did it taste like a salmon or more like a trout ? Beautiful video guys 👍

[@Bbfishman]

anyone considering the Bokksu snack box, get it. its a little pricey but honestly the snacks are always good and its not some expired or shitty quality stuff. i started it like a year ago and its awesome

[@Spagghet]

Take the ferry to Juneau! You guys won’t regret it. Incredibly long side track hahaha

[@JigginwithG]

Hell yeah your having a blast out there! I wanna visit so bad 🐟 🪝
