CATCH and COOK in ALASKA!!! King + Coho + Pink Salmon **TASTE COMPARISON**

We caught Coho, Pink and King salmon. The perfect combination to get an on scene taste comparison. Cooked in a natural way with minimal spices to keep an authentic flavor. This is the third video from this Ketchikan, Alaska trip. One more video to come. Thanks again to Alaska Strike Zone, and TJ and Jan for having me in Alaska. Had an amazing time. Anyone interested in taking a trip to Ketchikan definitely contact Alaska Strike Zone Fishing Charters. They've got 6 boats that go out every day. Half day, full day and private charters. Call ahead to see how the bite is!!

i love how you still show the gutting even though KZbin hates it thank you for keeping it real love the vids

[@Maybeweredead]

Born and raised in Ketchikan, wish I knew about your channel and still lived there when you arrived! Just recently found your channel. Not even joking, you make me want to go out and start fishing again. I don't have any boats or anything but that doesn't matter. I used to fish with my dad and loved it when I was a young child until it just became me being yelled at for a few months constantly in the summer to help my dad fish. I feel like I've learned more from your videos than I've ever really learned from him. Thank you for renewing my interest in it, as I used to absolutely LOVE it. Keep it up, and thank you for this video man.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Nicely done!

[@FishermansLife]

Thanks brother. You've been killin it. Keep it up!!

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

Same with you. Loving what you're doing here. Pencil me down for "anytime you want to come to Canada :)" I'm going to look at some better fishing spots up North from me this fall. If you wanted to try some icefishing...or even this spring might be a great time. We got Northern pike, walleye, pan fish, rainbow, lake trout, brook trout, catfish, etc.

[@FishermansLife]

I will remember that and when thinking of a trip I'll look to Canada as a top destination! I'll send you and email we the time comes. Thank you for the invitation

Would love to see you two to do a collaboration

[@rock107ty]

I spent a summer up in Ketchikan like 4 years ago and it was amazing. I worked at one of the shops for the cruise ship tourists but any day I had off I was fishing off of a bridge catching pinks and being from Utah, the pinks were still the best and freshest fish I've ever had. It's pretty crazy you ended up going to Ketchikan of all places. What a beautiful place, would love to make it back up there

[@Bryan-vz4sz]

I worked up there in 2012. Fished the same bridge, limits of pinks.. Snagged for kings out of one of the coves. Worked for the Forest Service.

[@tk421dr]

Yo Matts, any chance of you uploading a full unedited Salmon battle? Would love to watch you reel one in from start to finish! Great video man-thanks for your hard work.

[@user-kk6lc1th2r]

Thanks for including that bit of TJ preparing and hooking up that cut bait. I learned a few new things there!

[@fishkiller8098]

Pinks are absolutely delicious fresh and canned. They do not freeze well at all. Great vid!

[@bp-fishing8104]

One of the best parts about you videos Matt, is the damn zoom in on the rod when a fish is aboutta hit! Keep it up Matt, you’re only puttin more and more smiles on more people’s faces! :)

Scopolamine. Works amazing well. I don't get sea sick but this works the best out of any motion sickness medicine.

Scopace is what I was prescribed . Probably the same as what Bradley refered to . It was way better than any motion sickness med that I have ever tried. I have terrible motion sickness since I was a little kid, 57 now nothing has changed. Ask your doctor! Thanks for your vids .

[@scottjohnson835]

This is crazy! I’ve been watching your videos for little more than a month now and it’s helped me a lot with fishing and I’m watching this video and once you said Ketchikan Alaska I freaked out I lived in Ketchikan my whole life but I was born in Seattle buh I’m watching this video now and I’m still just in shock haha keep fishing cause fisherman’s life is the best life!

[@christopherbiegel9553]

Gotta love AK. You catch a nice bright pink salmon and say "we'll try to eat it" ;). That colored king would make good crab bait though.

[@Kubbsy]

Matts, you should start a How To series where you explain what you are doing and why while you are doing it. Like if your fishing for Lingcod, you would explain the methods to fish for them and why they work. I watch your videos multiple times to try and learn as much as I can about fishing while doing so. A video series like that would make it a lot more helpflu

[@Ms_Tania]

You were so anxious to try the fish that as soon as it was time to taste them you stopped looking around/behind you for bears. Be careful!! lol Such beautiful sceneries.

They throw back pink because they are spoiled to have them so readily available. Pink is great eating, but my favorite is Sockeye.

[@Foxleaj12]

Agreed, where I live down here in the seattle area thousands of anglers target pinks when they come up the rivers

[@goch907]

Yep sockeye definitely number one. Kings are good though if you can catch one 😛

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

Joe Blow we throw pinks back cause gross... we catch better tasting salmon to eat.

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

[@larsharper4175]

I went there in May of 2015. We stayed on Homer spit. $100 per night for a small place that sleeps two. May is the off-season and rates are reduced for lodging and fishing. Your chances of Landing huge halibut are reduced in May but you will not be eaten alive by the bugs. I hope you get to go there and I hope I'm there to to see you.

I grew up in Alaska before it was a State. Both of my parents were military and were stationed in Alaska. You have a lot of heart to be walking around where there are Bears lurking about. Back then it was very common to see various types of Bears and Wolves. Since you are speaking very good about Alaska, I am subscribing to your channel. When I get back to Alaska I will invite you to my house right on the sea. I Travel a lot between Alaska and Puerto Rico. SOMETIMES I go to Africa and visit some of my family and friends who live there. You should visit Africa and try to catch The Goliath Fish.

Pinks are good smoked and added to some cream cheese dip that’s all I got for that lol

[@jerryholt5290]

Pinks have a very delicate flavor, Cooked right they are excellent. They should be bled, gutted and iced as soon as possible. King salmon have the most fat in them and personally I like them the best. Smoked and hot right out of the smoker a fillet of King salmon is pure Heaven.
