[@WillyFish]

I am putting Chile on my bucket list of places to go fishing! Great episode!!

[@toddknutson6317]

So beautiful. Funny those came from the PNW. Amazing what happens when it’s done properly and no commercial fishing or the fact they leave their habitat untouched.

[@cashotpb]

On the cutplugs too! I’d be down river trolling those behind 11” flashers. Excited to see your next two videos

[@philabowl8073]

Awesome!!! Anxiously awaiting #2!!!

[@johnraetz6748]

Beautiful video!! looks like it was a lot of fun!!!

[@Suitihikila]

Bucket list fishing destination. Great video fellas! 🤙🏽

[@shaunlehman9158]

When Gary talks people listen. The god father of steelhead for sure

[@tylerh8085]

Keep them coming!!

[@NoHair-pk3xg]

Thank you. Growing up at Bonneville, OR, I caught many of these fish in the 1960's. The biggest fish I ever saw was caught by a neighbor `at Tanner Creek. 84 pounds! 40 lbs. fish were noteworthy but not uncommon. I try not to think about the hatchery dinks we catch these days. One more thing, when fishing and releasing, if you grab salmonids with your hands for pics, it takes the slime off them. More than likely, they will die in several weeks. Your videos have great production values. Good to see. Thanks again.

[@newmoon984331]

we catch those small fish here in maine, we call them whiting

[@snagrbuster7343]

Great video!! I'm a retired Fish Pathologist in Oregon, and presently an Outdoor and Science writer, and Formerly Salmon, Steelhead and Trout (high Cascades trout, and Sea-Run Cutthroat) guide. Can you please give the name and model of your levelwind line counter reel that you're using?!

[@DayOneOutdoors]

we are using the Daiwa Saltist line counter reels!

[@Justin-zs1ql]

Awesome part 1. When is 2 slated to be uploaded?

[@DayOneOutdoors]

Episodes are every other Friday and we do tech tips every Tuesday!

[@markcrawford2896]

Great content 👍🤟

[@ericluscombe3272]

you guys should bring some tomic plugs there all I use on vancouver island the 2 best are the 5" 602 (glows) and the 4" 169 guarantee you will slay them

[@BigStubber]

You mean to tell me Cody Herman didn't bring any chrome red stripe spinfish?spin fish?!

[@DayOneOutdoors]

They weren't out when we filmed this trip!

[@fishcrazy82]

Too bad we allow gill netting in the United States. Methodically killing the largest specimens.

[@obtuseangler768]

Yes and no. If the net squares are small none of the big fish could get caught. I'm not saying gillnetting is good, it's how they conduct test fisheries in Canada.

[@zanestovall8628]

Trawlers are the much bigger issue

[@loganfishbeard]

No 8#er's with net marks all down there backs!? Huh, Imagine that. We can only hope that their run grows big enough to take some of the commercial pressure of our river in the NW.

[@benjaminhunnicutt3835]

Super baits in colder water produces

[@DayOneOutdoors]

It was actually fairly warm water as we were at the mouth of a couple rivers and it was during the Fall after a warm summer! But baits like superbaits and spi fish will work in almost all water temps for sure!

[@morgankruse4666]

Do they only have kings, or maybe coho and steelhead too?

[@DayOneOutdoors]

Just Kings, Rainbows and Browns!

[@mig23mr]

Depends on the river, here in Chile i catch coho and chinook at Toltén River. Steel head and sea run at tierra del fuego and some others rivers down south. And near to puerto mont some rivers had atlantic salmon and sakura salmon

[@Umakemelaff]

Those two were STUFFED! what are they eating?

[@DayOneOutdoors]

man...I have no idea! We showed some of the baitfish in the estuary...but they must be feeding on other things as well out in the salt!

[@MudBuddyMotors]

Cody, is that your younger brother. lol

[@DayOneOutdoors]

HAHAHA! Yeah...guiding adds a years quickly!

[@garrettkenyon6091]

“Fall” run salmon from the Columbia in March. 🤔 try winter run salmon from Mcloud river.

[@DayOneOutdoors]

March is Fall in the Southern Hemisphere and these fish were brought from Columbia River Tributary Hatcheries! It was attempted over several years if not a decade or more, so some eggs could have definitely come from the McCloud at some point!

[@kylehensley8819]

I want to go!

[@Skank_Hunt42]

Fish

[@obtuseangler768]

Any chinook thats 40-50 lbs or more isnt coming back in 2 or 3 years, sorry old guy. Those big chinooks you're after are 4 year fish 🤓

[@mikemetl6703]

addicted did it first

[@DayOneOutdoors]

This was a series we filmed in 2013. 😉

[@mikemetl6703]

it was a joke lol nice video @@DayOneOutdoors

[@joeymc5272]

Just sad that you have to go to chile to get that size of kings. Fucking native nets and long lines have destroyed the pacific northwest where i live and Alaska. Its just sad.

[@DayOneOutdoors]

Over Commercial fishing definitely plays a role in the size of our fish!
