Salmon Fishing, Cure the Roe, fillet the fish, REPEAT!!!

On a trip to Northwest Washington, Ryan Nitz and I, got the opportunity to fish with some of the locals along a tidal river of the Puget Sound. As the Chinook (King) Salmon were leaving the sound on their way upstream to spawn, we were able to catch several amazing fish that turned into a few Amazing dinners!

[@jrod9241970]

The best part of this video was when you sit down with him and talked with him and he remembered fishing with his dad for so many years there that is what's priceless to me in this world.

[@antonioblocker3292]

Man you are truly a humble guy great story great friends and dam good food great video's bro keep'em coming.

[@deermeatfordinner]

Thank you Antonio!!! We try to enjoy every day!

[@antonioblocker3292]

Didn't get to see you cook some yet

[@timothyolmstead449]

I grew up in Oak Harbor Washington and recently watch your video when you all went crabbing and fishing out of Cornet Bay. Brought back Sooo many memories. I love the fact that you and your brother include your families into this way of life. My hat is off to you and can't wait for your next release.

[@Meganhaskinss]

You are such a kind soul, I can tell. It'd be a great time fishing with you! And learning different techniques and tips

[@crashbang756]

I wish santa would come bring me a present..... A very simple one.... Like spend the day fishing with Mr Robert Arrington..... As you said.... He really is a loving and kind soul..... Top top guy

[@2sandup]

It doesn't get much better than that...What can I say? Another awesome video.

[@deermeatfordinner]

David Infinger Thanks man!

[@jynxgoxoom]

Love how you explained the George's sign. Love the respect given to an old fisherman. Great video. You are one man I would love to meet.

[@hobbyhomesteader984]

Truly enjoyed the dedication to ' In Memory Of George Bannon". Though I didn't have that with my father...I have had the pleasure and honor to have shared that with someone special....my Nephew. That was TRULY AWESOME.great video Robert. Made me home sick.

[@johnlukasik8045]

BOY , this brings back my fondest memories of fishing the Com Ed. plant warm water discharge in Waukegan , Illinois for monster salmon !!! Never went home empty handed ! GREAT GRILLING FISH and good for the body ! Another fine video from DMFD ! THANK YOU !!!

[@mikeortiz2733]

You are trully blessed and you always pay it forward luv ya man.

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

Like how excited you were when you landed that first King. Pure Awesomeness

[@deermeatfordinner]

Thanks John! we loved it!!!

[@ShinichiKudohahd]

I wish I could go fishing with Rob one day. I feel so great when someone pick up a salmon

[@jonjohnson102]

Money is the cure to all woes

[@bryansmith4403]

Love your channel. Not everyone gets to live the dream. I'm so glad to see you doing it brother with your family. Keep living the dream.

[@NewbieRC772]

Wow, what a great video. My favorite part was just silmply watching people "live." Like your motto says "all men die, few ever really live." thanks for sharing with us. I look forward to the next video.

[@deermeatfordinner]

214deputy thank you!!

[@QassimAlSaadi]

No mater how life is harsh, your videos makes it simple and an better. Thank you

[@darrenknudson8641]

Having enjoyed several trips to the Northwest and Alaska for the salmon run and Halibut fishing out of Seward......watching this video just gets me fired up. Minus that sticky mud I am totally envious. Another great video. Growing up, we would take a month every summer to visit grandparents that lived in Montana and they were true ranch people going back generations. The way they took the time to teach the full "field to table" or "river to table" experience....I think that is what you really capture well. You just have a great way of showing/reminding people that the process of acquiring and preparing your own food can be exciting and cathartic and so much more meaningful than going to Costco and buying big slabs of meat that you have zero connection with. Thank you for exposing people to an honest way of life and in a way inspiring people to LIVE that life.

[@deermeatfordinner]

Darren Knudson, we LOVE living off the land!! We feel that it's very important to learn how to provide for your family and not rely on grocery stores if we don't need to. This way we know exactly what we're putting in our bodies and we know we won't go hungry if we were in a crisis!! Thanks for the awesome comment and God Bless!!

[@edwardenglish1519]

Many of my greatest memories were created during the eight years I was stationed at Ft. Lewis WA. I fished the Nisqually, Puyallup, Green, Cowlitz (both forks), Lewis, Washougal, and Little White Salmon rivers as well as Puget Sound mooching off Point Defiance. I spent every off duty day fishing somewhere for Salmon and Steelies. Once when I was out off of Pt. Defiance I had two 30ft Beluga Whales sonaring me along side my 17ft boat as I was slow tolling. Scared the jeepers out of me at first. I absolutely love that place.

[@Diabetis4uandme]

I feel like your videos keep getting better and better! I can't describe how much I love just watching your videos and learning with you guys. Thanks for sharing so much with us, I truly appreciate it.

[@deermeatfordinner]

well you mean the world to us and we appreciate such a heartfelt comment!!! please keep in touch!

[@mikechaffee2217]

Thanks for living the dream and sharing with all of us. I enjoy watching so much.

[@deermeatfordinner]

thank you for being a part of it all! we appreciate all of you very much!!!

[@lovelygirl4872]

Today is my day off work, and I've been watching your videos on and off for hours. You make me wanna go and live life.

[@floridaflyfishing3457]

That looked like a blast! I love when a plan comes together; your arm tells you to stop but your heart is screaming for more. You showed a lot of humility giving respect where respect is due. I subscribe to many fishing channels on KZbin and the one thing I like to see is a host giving the credit to a local guide.

[@mikezhu5867]

I like your videos so much, can't wait to the new ones. Thank you for uploading those videos!

[@cigar_leaf262]

Hey Robert, great video....Thanks for sharing and God Bless!!

[@deermeatfordinner]

Cigar Leaf! thanks buddy! I appreciate it!

[@DaebakMonkey]

Absolutely gorgeous fish! My parents have a house about an hour and a half away from there. Thanks for the awesome fishing spot. I can't wait to take my Dad there.

[@gabrielthompson1072]

Ahh the good ole days!! Gotta love Washington. Skiing Baker in the winter, sailn' Lake Watcom on the 4th, then a big salmon feed. Watching you guys on the Sound brings back fond memories:). Another great video you guys, keep up the good work.

[@deermeatfordinner]

Gabriel Thompson thank you so much! We're glad it was just as meaningful to you as it was to us!

[@kevinike7319]

Myself and 3 friends are going on a charter on Lake Ontario end of this month. I haven't gone on a charter since my dad passed away almost 4 years ago. The trips were a family thing every year my whole youth. So, I cant wait!

[@ihyvarsity9355]

Good luck I mean if u want to catch salmon without going on a charter go down to duffins creek for the coho and chinook salmon run

[@johnnychisum579]

You are right my man! It wouldn't be the same without the mud. Now that is an experience that I would love to have

[@suzannebenz8928]

Florida and the Bahama waters are so much prettier! This is for fellows who love to play in the mud! I can see you were having fun...and that is good!

[@Nugget2588]

7:38!!!! I'm digging the music!!!! Nice twists to your vid!!! Love this vid. Now I have to go party!

[@khalidmahmood9966]

I am really enjoying watching video Excellent job. Thanks

[@loongwing]

thanks for the video...I really enjoy watching it

[@learningtobefilipino8606]

Brother, thank you for having an awesome channel! You really deserve an official TV show. Maybe on Sunsports.. My heart is in fishing since 3, and i would say that one of my dreams is to hit the water with you brother.. Take care and god bless you and the family.

[@mattmccarthy8993]

[@bogg54]

Nice to have some one put you on the fish, and to be your first time... NICE! If I had known you were here, it would've been nice to shake hands with you.

[@tal10527]

This is something I've ALWAYS wanted to do! Beautiful, tasty, fish. My favorite part of the video is you interviewing Guy Bannon, and making the video in memory of his father, George Bannon, is a touching tribute! You are a class act! Hope Simms will sponsor him!!

[@mumbras]

That was cool, we had a couple spots like that down on the Tualatin river in Oregon. After September rains the rivers would swell and the run would begin, grab a pitchfork and the gill nets then fire up the smokehouse.

[@crisworkizer1523]

That was a bad ass fishing trip, including meeting some awesome people along the way..well done brother....

[@soloangel79]

I just really discovered your channel today and you have been killing me watching you cook all kinds of good food. It's been almost 5 or 6 years since I've cooked or eaten any wild game. But this video really got me at the end. Reminded me of so many fond memories fishing with my father and grandfather as a kid. I grew up on the lakes and waterways in Tennessee but now I live in Florida. Time to take the kids out and make new memories with them on the water

[@deermeatfordinner]

[@robmcman5206]

You fished the ditch, I've spent many days shoulder to shoulder in that river, it's a rush you'll never forget when you hook a king in the Ditch and fight it between the legs of the other fisherman, fish coming up !

[@deermeatfordinner]

Thank you so much!!

[@raztuss]

Sounds like my uncle Cooney Johns needs to show you how to fillet Salmon with out taking ribs,,,He's kind of good at it,,, Perhaps that's because he's been doing it for the past 60 years living on the Skokomish Nation Reservation,,, I've learned a few tricks from him myself. Looks like you guys had fun and that's the main thing, Thanks for sharing. :)

[@deermeatfordinner]

+raztuss your uncle seems like someone I would love to meet!

[@raztuss]

Perhaps the next time you're out this way, give me a heads up and maybe we can plan something on your way north for a day, maybe have a big clam bake, or fish fry. Show you around the rez, hood canal, and give you a little history on the area, perhaps some smoked fish or hard smoked salmon strips, he's the only one left on the rez that still does it the "old,OLD, school way",,, Have a blessed day brother. :) Toksha

[@Rarasrevenge]

raztuss that would be an awesome video! Great idea

[@bubbleone6526]

deermeatfordinner I know this an old post but I’m hoping and Praying you check your older videos for comments! What was the name of the River you were fishing? Great video as always. Every sense I found your videos I’ve been hooked. No pun intended, well maybe just a little.

Can't wait to hook my first Lake Erie steelhead of the year here shortly. They're gonna run real soon. love catching big fish on the river. Those things fight like crazy. I cant imagine a salmon.

They don't have steelhead. They are rainbow trout. Steelhead are ocean going rainbow trout. No ocean no steelhead.

[@1BigMistakee]

[@Ggordonhorseballs]

Great action. Those fish however all well, well past their prime. Meat had very pale coloring and it appeared mushy. Not good table fare. Absolutely nothing wrong with removing excess hatchery stock but the meat is fit for kitty cats only at that point. You guys had a kick ass time and that's cool.

[@Rarasrevenge]

Chet Dubois the king salmon even? I thought it looked alright

[@marcosbalderrama4953]

This is awesome I was up in Washington this summer , went up in the cascades and to some mountain lakes about 4 to 6 thousand feet up to catch trout since almost all salmon fishing was closed , ps it sucks how much a fishing license cost up there even though u can only fish certain times

[@ericdavid4268]
