Thanks for letting me try the food Taku. If you guys think it looked good, you should have tasted it. Amazing food and amazing person. Tastes just as good as it looks in the videos.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Thanks man, glad you got to try some!

[@User5260jo]

Mouth-watering food! Thanks, Taku!!! That was great food and good fun. Wonderful!

[@Гена-ю9д]

Super fishing🎣 🐟👍

[@racerex340]

Man, I love Nick's energy and attitude! Nothing better than going out fishing with friends that get super stoked and are as genuinely happy to be there as you are.

[@OutdoorChefLife]

Hypeman energy💪

[@Benjamin-tl8pn]

Yeah dude amazing

[@arisespeleta9194]

These collabs are so good to watch. Just homies fishing, catching, cooking, and having a great time.

[@sfckrbec]

That knifework was beautiful, thanks for letting us watch.

[@---zg7ex]

wow that beginning intro to open coke glass is epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikezaragoza4473]

THATS WHAT ITS ABOUT CHILLING N EATING WITH FRIENDS!

[@DRMREM1]

Meeting Taku while fishing and trying his food….that would make my day. Keep up the great content Taku!!!

[@williamowings6857]

I caught the flu and been watching your videos to beat the boredom. I fell a sleep during one and woke up when you were processing your catch. I could literally hear how sharp and well made your knife was in my sleep. Woke up hungry. My wife went and got some Tilapia for me. My stomach is still sensitive. Light fish helps me recover. Love that woman. She's good to me. I am going to try some of your recipes when I well enough to go fishing. Thanks for sharing.

[@mamababylifestylevids4416]

So many other fishing channels fish at the same locations and do not mix up the cooking after. It is great how you mix up your content with new locations and a variety of meals each time. Your plating is also very creative and looks great every time! Keep up the great content!

[@ABVang]

Damn. Watching this makes me really want to meet Taku in real life. Such a humble and loving person!

[@chakksriloy1708]

Dude he is. I ran into him and he socialized with me without being like “ew don’t don’t talk to me” plus, I was too flustered to ask him anything because I didn’t want to annoy him. 😂🤣

[@teerycruz8025]

You a groupie Lmmfao

[@NickFish007]

Man that was special! You're a good friend Taku thank you

[@TommyVs33]

liked it since the whole crew caught a fish. good vibes baby!

[@christopherquarry6234]

🎶smoker on the water 🎶salad in the sky🎶😎

[@lukesingh87]

[@PsychoticWolfie]

Lol seeing Nick get his first Steelhead after trying so hard so many times is great. Definitely well earned and deserved. Also nice butterfly-bottle-opener skills!

[@tannerfreeman5817]

I would like to personally thank you Taku as you taught me how to be not only a better cook but a better fisherman of all fish species. You are by far the best catch, clean and cook channel. I thank you for that as you made me be able to make others delighted with my meals. - Tanner F

[@41BTH]

Absolutely the best to see Nick's reaction on landing his first Steelhead. Great content. Really nice to see a group of friends enjoying the river. Makes me think of my youth and My River Buddies. You Rock Taku.

[@fonzmendez6917]

This content fills the void in my soul.

[@Crytica.]

The way you sliced those cherry tomatoes blew my absolute mind! Thanks for the great content Taku, keep on living the life man!

[@kennygee6627]

I had to go back and look… Yes, that was pretty awesome 🤟🏽 A lot to learn from Taku 👍🏽👍🏽

[@xmozzazx]

"Next level stuff here guys." Is exactly why I am watching, that is amazing!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

🙏

[@BroTortuga]

The vibes this video are immaculate, love how all the bois caught something ❤️

[@MCorp66]

That was smooth 😂 the beginning 👏

[@saltyjoesfishing460]

Right! That camera shadow was on point bro!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

😉

[@thedarksideoftheforce6658]

It's just a butterfly knife man. Lol. I learned that at 8. Not difficult. Would you like me to show you how to do it?

[@Vexatedcanicus]

​@@thedarksideoftheforce6658 Whoa buddy, you're too cool, we get it. Dial it down a bit so we can all get the chicks

[@brigieschliesman9163]

[@stormydazeASMR]

[@siamdejrudee6058]

[@THX-vb8yz]

[@jcmacias9631]

[@Burrfection]

[@brodiwheeler7583]

Whilst sippin on a Mexican Coke. 🙅🏼‍♂️

[@ron.hertzberg]

Bottle opener

[@SamSulekShortss]

Just got out of work in time for TAKU TUESDAY BABY!!!!!!

[@williamwinsor7376]

When I first moved to the south or coast I got the steelhead salmon fishing disease really bad and I used to hear the old timers talk about all the catching they did and then it was my turn to become one of the good old boys that constantly caught fish. Now I’m the old timer with no energy or balance to fish. It’s your turn now so enjoy it. The last fish I hooked I gave to a friend to fight and enjoyed harassing him as he fought it.

[@chadveez4908]

You're so wholesome man love the content. Food fishing and friends is what is about

[@jamiecope5382]

One of the best fishing videos I have ever watched. Blessings to all of you up there in the bay.

[@BenjieKimFishing]

As usual, another beautiful video Taku thank you so much. I can't imagine how much work it must be to get every camera angle, lug all the equipment, all while trying to focus on getting on the fish. Great vibes with good people, amazing food, all while showcasing your expertise. My day gets a little bit better every time I get to watch all of you slaying it up there!

[@DanielW.91]

Talk about a flex with the balisong 😂 Nice skills, dude! I really enjoy your channel. I have extremely little foraging/fishing experience, but because of you video's I have been getting out there more. Thank you for your content!

[@deafeningsilence5121]

Nick's little dance and also Taku being attacked by smoke haha xD

[@stevewilliams7852]

Reminds me when I was young and my family would go with grandpa, grandma and all of my aunts uncles and cousins and would meet on the San Juaquin river around Gustine to camp and fish for catfish in the day and go coon hunting at night. We learned to shoot, fish and live in the outdoors. It was one of the best times of my life.

[@ThydaCookingTV]

Hello good morning from Cambodia Taku! Happy Wednesday !

[@gus473]

🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭 ✌🏼😎

[@MrSaljstn]

Thank you for picking up after yourself the bottle cap is symbolic to many that watch to do the same. It’s the little changes that change the world

[@nomadhomad3685]

Nothing like that first steelhead fight on light tackle 🔥congrats to Nick!

Tu equipo de pesca es fantástico, capturaste hermosos peces. ¡Felicitaciones, eres un pescador muy exitoso! Me encantó el video.👍🎣🥰 Dios los bendiga siempre y buena pesca!

[@reelin_it_with_jake]

Steelhead killa! Gangsta with the butterfly bottle opener 😳 😆!

[@DanielLipari]

Love how you are always drinking some kind of good craft beer.

[@4shorefishing779]

So much fun meeting subscribers in the wild!

[@brt124]

Just beautiful... ain't nothing like a successful day when all the homies catch! "NO HEROES!" is what we call it... in relation to "Zero the Hero"

[@ozzleoni6609]

The balisong makes for a good impact club for bonking.. or opening beer bottles. Good show!

[@lukeweeks5400]

A bunch of legends. Congrats Nick and shoutout Walter!

[@lizzzp]

man, this video was amazing to watch! chill vibes and i have never seen outside food look that good, from the smoked salmon to the salad. great job👏🏽

[@tropa1481]

best relaxing day for me is tuesday i get to see this wonderful chef Taku with Jocelyn or the group in action with catch and cook.

[@DanielTorres-iq3mz]

Love the fact that this video demonstrates the open kindness of a fisherman.

[@swivels]

Balisong knives are awesome! Such a fun hobby that has a "fidget spinner" effect.

[@daniellemiller8073]

THe skill you have with the butterfly knife(that's really a bottle opener) was so flipping smooth!

[@johnfishingclown6415]

[@jendiloreto3144]

Y'all rock! "Let's make chopsticks out of these sticks" yummy!

[@xenobis81]

Taku-sama the smoked trout looked absolutely amazing, brother! You make me want to go out fishing and try to duplicate your efforts. That salad dressing with smoked herring sounds spectacular and looked even more so. Great job all around!

[@funsky77]

Looks amazing. Taku can really make a killing on a side shuffle, make pop.up restaurants with these items on the menu!

[@StevenDelCastillo]

Such a wholesome video. Thanks a lot Taku!

[@jackburton6085]
