Awesome. I have a trip on the Red with my best buddy who lives up there. Going this fall. Glad to see you guys are still cranking out the content! Stay well!
Try this recipe for dipping sauce or a glaze Honey-balsamicc dressing 1 1/2 tbs honey 1 1/2 tbs Dijon mustard 1 tbs balsamic vinegar 1/4 tsp pepper 1/4 tsp garlic salt It’s really good. Great fish. Hope I get one in 7 days.
3 of my most epic salmon fishing experiences were on this river, which is only about a ten minute walk from my place. The fishing was actually much better many years ago, like elsewhere too.
Oh I believe it, seems like that is almost anywhere nowadays. It’s kinda sad! Now for me it was still awesome, but it’s crazy what a decent amount of pressure does to a fishery!
One hell of a king salmon wow I've been there blew my mind when I caught a toad in a small River, nothing better then the HOOK UP 👍🎣🎣, Nice job. Everyone has been scoring sockeyes in the Russian. New scriber here.
Grew up in Milwaukee. The 40yrs of living less than a mile from the lake, I always fished king's. Grant Park, Miller Park and every other tributary was always loaded with giant's. Never ever ate one out of that terdhole though.
They're all transplanted west coast salmon and landlocked just like the steelhead/rainbow in the great lakes. I lived in SW ontario and although the salmon are fun to catch, not many people catch any of them to keep. The meat's not good, the meat color isn't right. Every summer the stores fill up with commercial caught ocean bright salmon shipped from the west coast and people buy it up. Living in salt water with their natural diet makes such a difference.
@@NBedits oh ok i gotcha.. i knew he just got up there and he was staying in the room youre in, but when i didnt see him or hear you mention him i got a good giggle hahahaa great fish btw, bro! beauty first king!
Those Creeks the Ninilchik - Deep Creek - Anchor river if you used a Lure Jenson side planer and a K 13 - K 14 k fish with a herring rap in those long runs and bends of corners when its deep it takes no more than 5 minuets to get hooked up with a Chinook / bait fishing sucks and is to slow for me when I can get a hook up in under 5 minuets with wrapped K fish. You only need no more than 20 feet of line from the side planer and K fish being the creeks are small and not greatly deep. There used to an AK fish & Game biologist name was Jeff who hated me because of me using the side planed and wrapped K fish plugs so he would chew me out for my method of fishing - the jackass was also a commercial fisherman who hated all fishing tourism. On outgoing tide at Bird creek inlet side of the railroad tracks if the channel is there the Chinook can stake up there and again the side planner and K fish wrapped with Harring slaughters the fish here and you are on the Inlet side making keep a Chinook legal but in Bird creek retention of Chinook isn't allowed.
@@NBedits I have offered guide services for Hunting and fishing since 1978 and in 1989 I moved to Alaska to advance my guide services then came covid wrecking all of my guide work then getting me stranded and bankrupted in commie Oregon. When guiding clients from Cook Inlet sometimes I would take the clients to those creeks with the lure Jenson side planners and herring wrapped K - 14s and even K- 16s and now the K 13 would be perfect to used wrapped with herring then used all 3 creeks is a slaughter of Chinook. Just wrap all your K plugs before going to the creeks because that action is hot and fast so no time to repair a herring wrap after landing a Chinook just change to a new wrapped plug. You must know also to tune the side planner, so the trip arm won't prematurely trip with the heavy pull of the Kwik fish plugs. The side planner arm you take the lower arm after sliding the tension spring off the arms - then you bend the lower arm to straighten the arm out allowing you to slip the tensioning spring further down the wire arms making a tighter trip tension. From the Highway bridge over the Ninilchik start your side planned above the cornet and run to under the bridge is a fish on spot and the hole below the bridge is a fish on spot and all the way up is ever deeper run to bend you have hook ups. The bend hole above the deep creek bridge is smoking hot and the campground water for 3 bends down the Anchor River is absolute fish on with K fish.. On a outgoing tide to make current for the K fish and side planner you can intercept new Chinook in the Anchor River from the mouth to the line of the campgrounds. New salmon coming in are extremely aggressive in plugs and are the Coho when in and same use K-14 sized plugs with warps. Word of caution I have personally experienced with Chinook close to the mouth of Cook Intel and Anchor River is have a far sized level wind reel because once hooked these fish make a reel smoking run for the Inlet again. This spot also many times you get a Hugh Steelhead on the K fish with a large one I caught on a K 16 here the steelhead was 28 pounds of a monster. Hit the first parking stop after going over the bridge to entry to Anchor River campgrounds, this is a salmon holding zone. start the side planer always well above the fish holding water and walk a little and stop and repeat this and don't give any rod movement and no slack in the line to be just like a boat back rolling always keeping the plug working steady. Use 3 foot of a minimum or 50-pound leader to stop the fish from cutting the line when violent twisting that hooks snag the line and cut it from a fish turning and running. Don't shy away from using K 15s or K 16s because of the plug goes out of side those creek Chinook will grab the plugs. This is a way to get away from curing bait and smelly bait that gets all over you the car and sinks up everything. At the end of the day, you won't have punk stained fingers. Prep your Sardin or herring cuts in salt to keep them firmed up and stop the smelliness. Use a clear nylon sewing thread to wrap your herring strips on the plugs. Places that sell sewing goods is a best place to by nylon sewing threads.
@@NBedits At times I come back to Alaska so if you want a demonstration how to fish plugs in the creeks, I could do that for you. You will be amazing how many fish won't take a drifted bait but won't pass up a wrapped plug. I had many times AK Troppers in their normal clothing fallowing me and watch from the bushed because over time it ticked off fishermen then I think I was accused of snagging because no one catches that many salmon the creeks as I did. I was also checked in the parking by the Troopers who were dumb funded I caught the salmon in the creeks on plugs and couldn't understand what a side planned was.
That tail grab was sick! 😮
Jon’s a beast
I'm in tears your so luckey..
Fish of a lifetime!

What’s this place called I’m trying to catch my first king
I must add that was a beautiful first king for you (bigger than the average hatchery king for that river).
Thank you!
One hell of a king salmon wow

Everyone has been scoring sockeyes in the Russian.
New scriber here.
Thank you!! Yeah the Russian was hot when we were up there! Super fun though, video of that will be up Sunday!
Big king buddy!
Goof job guys...looks fun
Thank you!
8:40 why is your bead the size of a golfball?
That’s what I was told to use!
Congrats on your first king! I’ll have to try cooking mine like that sometime it looks🔥‼️
Thanks man!! Definitely try it, it’s great!
that house had a pretty dope layout tbh
Yeah it’s pretty nice for a cabin!
What type rod are you use?
I believe a 7’ ML Okuma
Good stuff my guy ❤ man I miss alaska so much… again thank you…
Thanks man! Alaska sure is a special place!
Try castin off piers after dark in the fall . Lit
Wish I could make it up there more than once a year!
That’s a great way to make salmon burgers with lettuce and tomato sliced thinly onions and a spice garlic mayo yummy
That would be good! Going to have to try that!
Believe me it is good and if you want to kick it up a little bit you can add some crab meat and finally jalapeño not to much it’s good 👍
Whats the name of the creek your in
I honestly am not sure, it was on the Kenai Peninsula though
Grew up in Milwaukee. The 40yrs of living less than a mile from the lake, I always fished king's. Grant Park, Miller Park and every other tributary was always loaded with giant's. Never ever ate one out of that terdhole though.
I bet that was always fun fishing for them!
They're all transplanted west coast salmon and landlocked just like the steelhead/rainbow in the great lakes.

where did @BWfilms go??? 🤣 Nick shows up and Luc Gets the boot! lmao
He’s still up there! I was up there all last week and the day I left, Luke showed up!
@@NBedits oh ok i gotcha.. i knew he just got up there and he was staying in the room youre in, but when i didnt see him or hear you mention him i got a good giggle hahahaa great fish btw, bro! beauty first king!
What makes the fish get the hook in its mouth? It looks like it wouldn't work
When they bite the bead it slides down into the hook when you set the hook!
@@NBedits gotcha..thats pretty slick
Attttta baby!
Now we gotta get one back at home!!
Amazing video! It looked like a fun time out on the river :)
Thank you!! It was definitely a blast!
lookin like ninilchik.
❤️👊💪🎣
👊👊
Try steakin it , then grilling
I’ll try it! Got enough of it!
That very first Alaskan king you caught should of kept all that belly meat. Any Alaskan will tell you that it,s the best part of the fish
Dang, wish I would’ve tried it!
