Wooow what a barrel!

@DougJuel no it isn't. This one was caught out at green bank.

@coho3260 welcome to the channel and thank you for the sub

@@joeray_skrha I'm not in Alaska if that's what you're thinking. I'm in Washington

Good for me but not for thee??? Sounds like it's your fault??? After 40 years, you should have a pretty good bank account. How about doing something to help? Instead of being a keyboard activist....

@stevenjensen2649 is like a 5 to 6 inch spoon so it don't require a flasher. 👍 this fish hit that spoon with some force

@maltby_pass5632 thank you 😊

@clarencemckinley8791 my buddy Johnny fights fires also, he's been in a few of my videos fishing steelhead. Thank you for what you do and thank you for watching

@@fathersonoutdoors8049 this will be my 7th season as wildland firefighter. I truly do enjoy the content man keep it coming and fish on

@@clarencemckinley8791 stay safe out there. I'm glad you're enjoying the shows.

@kylekeitzman next time we fish together we're slaying em 💯

@@reapergrim76 thank you for commenting 😊

@KyleSilva1990 I've always thought Washington was poorly managed, but sounds like I have it pretty good. Hopefully things get better for you guys soon

@@fathersonoutdoors8049 yes sir. I feel like it’s all (Poorly) managed. And it infuriates me honestly. I’m no rocket scientist or a damn chemist, but I feel like as being a 32 year old Carpenter I could manage these historic fishery’s better than what’s going on. And the reason being is because just like yourself and how you have passed it down to your kids. My dad and the old timers in my lineage did the same thing. It was part of, and some more so, It was there life. I have literally loved and lived for the moments to encounter one of these amazing fish. Especially steelhead and salmon, whether it’s in the ocean or preferably my favorite once they come into the rivers. So I have literally spent my life thinking and chasing these fish, trying to know their every move. But that is the problem. The people that are managing our fisheries. A lot of them have only ever seen a salmon or steelhead in a damn textbook. They have no idea how special and precious these fish thriving are, to not only the ecosystem but a huge group of people. Sorry for the ramble buddy. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but I just wish somehow I could get more involved and be more of a voice, especially here in California our politicians and certain groups are shipping so much water down to areas that have little to none. That when these fish come back into our rivers, there incredibly low odds of succeeding in their journey, gets that much more difficult. They spend millions upon millions of dollars raising hatchery Smoltz. Hoping to litigate all the bull crap we have caused these fish. Not to mention a new factor introduced into the river years ago, which is a huge predatory fish. The damn striped bass are thriving. I know it’s a great fishery and guides thrive from their presence now days. But the Sacramento system historically had runs of salmon year round. A winter run of fish which were always big big fish came in, along with the spring run, followed by an amazing summer and fall run that was at one time the 2nd or 3rd most abundant population of salmon around the west. Only system standing in its way was the amazing Columbia River system. Which I know you guys have seen just decimate over the years. But I’ll tell you what at least they have enough fish for the citizens to fish. Our salmon come home to such Piss poor water conditions (Because of the management) along side other predators. They put so much effort into releasing these smoltz, but they do us nothing on when these fish return to complete their cycle. And hey I’m Not saying no fish make it to the upper reaches of the Sacramento/Feather rivers. It’s just baffling. I have seen your videos with Jordan Knigge, and thank god for him and the addicted boys. Gotta do something one day to be able to shake that man’s hand, as well as Marlin. He explains myself in perfect words. He explains his love for fishing and it saving him from his parents unfortunate addiction issues, well fishing saved me from staying in my own addiction. I would not be here if not for growing up and having my dad pass down this amazing Life chasing steelhead and salmon. It gave me hope on my darkest days, Wow man, sorry for the damn short novel, just Really need to get more involved and be a voice somehow because I’ll tell you what it will break my heart if my three year- old son never gets the opportunities and memories that I did as a kid. I mean I’ll travel to fish don’t get me wrong. But there’s something about having these fish in your backyard. Your backyard which use to be loaded, and I mean loaded. Just sad man. Take care sir. Always appreciate you getting back to me man.

@igorz3600 neah bay, right off of waadah island. Thank you for watching

@dougleandmaize16 this year's run has been bleak. We've been struggling to even catch fish to make more content. Thank you for watching

@@thelarry6864 thank you for watching

@@fathersonoutdoors8049 Hey, I just enjoy your adventures up there every now and then. I like to see where you're at when I can make out land marks and try to recall the area. You're raising a fine young man there, keep it up. Ask anyone up there that graduated anywhere around 77-80 if they knew anyone named "Dashook". 😎

@thelarry6864 my father was class of 80 I believe. Joey is his name

@@fathersonoutdoors8049 Sounds familiar, but can't remember last name. Hey, if Lester Moore is still up there, tell him "Dashook" sez hello plz. We were stationed together on the USS Constellation (CV-64).

@@Chaos_Prerogative thank you 😊, and thank you for watching

@terrybanks3877 I didn't mean to edit anything out lol I don't mind sharing any info. I fish no deeper than 60 feet. I like to fish the kelp beds and reefs

@@fathersonoutdoors8049 just teasing don't bother me, fished the coast for years great to see you and your family enjoying it. Might get back to port Renfrew in September to fish with one of Dad's old friends sure miss it out there

@MegaA10warthog inside of 60 feet. Thank you for watching

I'll be fishing out of Sekiu next week. We will be renting a van ripers boat, they do not have down riggers..any suggestions? We were thinking of using 6 ounce banana weights then flasher etc. thanks

@MegaA10warthog before I got down riggers I liked using the "deep six" those work pretty good to get you deeper then a banana weight

Thanks..I'll look into those👍
