Holy moly! I’ll be putting this on my smoking bucket list! 😂

Could have done the video without the Titanic music… unless you’re sinking the boat.

I'd like to find out what the biggest salmon record would be on the Skagit River in Washington state? It's my favorite river to fish for salmon. And the Springers are running in it right now. So far I've landed 2 around the 20 pound range but I've seen a few in there recently that gotta be closer to the 30 pound range?!

Just got back from the Black Hills in South Dakota. We absolutely hammered the rainbow trout brought a bunch back home to Minnesota. Can’t wait to try your recipe. I’ve done a lot of video watching on UA-cam and your process is the most appealing to me. Thanks for posting.

Your fish was more than my sister

Love fishing the snake

Why was the drag on the rod so sloppy and not smooth? Wouldn't that increase chance losing the fish?

Number 10 had to be let go. I am glad they did

Hell of a salmon 👍

Epic adventure!

Pretty cool. I think everyone should do this at least once in their life. I mean, the feeling of bonking a smallmouth is pretty special. And catching oversize sturgeon should be done at least once too.

Super cool beautiful fish! 👍👍👍

Awesome stuff man. Looks like a good time was had by all except the smallies. 15 years ago I learned Shad tricks from JD’s website. Thanks man.

Was Gareth the mystery man behind the camera? I thought I caught a glimpse of him in one or two shots. What a fantastic outing!

What camera were you using ??

Not actually paint but vinyl

What did you use. I am going out to lake tohoe in two weeks and i am really wanting to fish, but i dont know much about trout fishing

Hi! Would just like to let you know I tried your brine mix, and it was my first time to smoke fish. I smoked some Goldeye and Mooneye, and they tasted well with the Alder wood chips. I’m so happy it was a success. Thank you! (June 9, 2024)

How deep do these trout hang out here?

What size was the Yamaha jet please ?

I dunno I've caught a lot of salmon both in the ocean and freshwater, bringing them aboard for even a few minutes is a death sentence.

Why?

What advice could you give me to make shift my own downrig, or to get it to the correct depths without a downrig?

Now days a big king weighs in the area of 25-30 pounds. My biggest was a white king from the Chilliwack River in BC weighing 65 pounds. I got a nice picture of it and gave it to an old couple who hadn’t landed any fish. I’m not big on white meat kings so it was easy for me to give away and the old couple were delighted. It took me about 45 minutes to land the fish and was the thrill of my life. I’m glad I didn’t loose it because at 76 years old and the dwindling stock of big fish the opportunity for me to ever catch another big fish are nil. But who knows. And that’s what fishing is all about. A bigger one might be swimming around out there right now.

there is a 97lb king caught in Kodiak ,AK that is mounted at the airport terminal

The South American guides are letting dudes floss spawning kings off of redds.

Tahoe, an interesting lake, what behaviors of the lake trout do you find most interesting?

Do you have to keep the split ring on Or can you go direct to the lure? Or will the split ring help with the rolling fish? Thanks

Can you just fizz it like a bass?

Yeah in Alabama if you do the return em right program you get a free one

How does it release?

I'm confused how that worked? You put the eggs in the dirt ? How did the babies go into the bucket if you had a screen cover it why not put the eggs into the water ?

Congratulations🎉

I think a salmon will hit about anything that swims in it's face. It's not like they think nahhhh...I'm waiting for a spin n glo or a Kwikfish. Screw that Senko, not good enough for m. I mean hungry is hungry and no time to be particular.

Chinook up into Rivers' Inlet that have been caught/weighed in the spawning barrel have been larger. This run is known for huge fish. My trip in 1992, somewhat early in the run, the average weight caught exceeded 55 lbs. easy.

That's was a dead fish for sure. 45 minute fight and then man handled into the boat and held up for photos. Don't kid yourself. Should never have been lifted out of the water

Good tip about the waders

i caught one that was 111.3 lbs

Good techniques, thanks for sharing. Always cool to learn something new.

West Coast QCI big kings in those waters.

Can you fish from a boat all year around in Lake Tahoe? I thought the boat ramps were only open in the summer? Thanks! Love the Tahoe fishing content

Pretty cool boat , I really like the ease of reconfiguring everything. Not sure how it would do out here in Montana with wind and skinny water . But still very cool. Thanks for sharing.

i caught a 65lb king with nothing but my hands.

❤❤❤

1949 Petersburg, Alaska there was a 126# king caught in a fish trap

I had never caught or cleaned or cooked trout. Watched your video and one on cleaning them and mission accomplished!! Soaking in the fridge right now. THANK YOU BROTHER!!!!!

JD got your book. Thank you great information on that subject of steelhead. Thanks again my friend.

Can you use trebel hooks on that lake if they are barbless?

YES!!!! I've been searching for this book but figured it was an e-book only item. I'm so happy to finally buy a physical copy. I'm new to steelhead fishing and recently moved to Washington from California so this will come in handy. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I love your books!

One of the hardest fish to catch in the PNW, fish of a thousand casts! Taking my buddy out in my frosty boat today chasin steelies!
