The new edits and high quality footage really make a difference. Been subscribed since 500 subs, and I have to say I'm really impressed with your improvements. Keep up the hard work and tight lines!
RawRawDimension - Means a lot to hear that! I’ve been working on it. It’s been a fun learning experience. The higher resolution makes a world of difference for sure. Thanks for sticking with the channel. The feedback is really appreciated
@@AnglingAddictsPNWI'm getting into high quality photography and videography, so I understand that learning curve. If you ever need any help with editing photos of videos let me know. 🎣
Graham Harris - Thanks! an obvious fish is always my favorite. I had a decent bow in my line I had to get in before setting the hook. I’m glad the fish was still there haha
Loved the first cast catch! And that was a great recipe for cooking outside. I was a little concerned with overcooking it on that fire but you did great 👍 I love the catch n cooks-keep them coming😊
Trish Voss - it’s hard to not feel spoiled with a first cast fish haha. I was concerned too. It was hard not to constantly open it up to check.... I did once but all looked good. My heart would have dropped to open it up just to see burnt fish. Thanks Trish!
To add to the other comments - I love the catch and cooks and definitely love the way you cooked the steelhead. I always look forward to your shows! Keep up the great work!!!!
Sean Humphreys - Thanks Sean, makes me happy to read that. Considering it’s new content I don’t know what to expect. They are fun to do and I’m glad that the start to additional content has been well received. There is plenty more on the way. Thanks for watching

@@AnglingAddictsPNW Thanks and i love that place ! Im camping there next week, so exciting and perfect timing with all of your latest videos ! See you on the water !!!
First cast steelhead on and what a way to start your day. I got hungry watching your video. Been very busy fishing myself good to see other people having success, seems Steelhead are showing up and not afraid to bite....
Al Fontana - Had I not been watching the bobber I would have assumed I was snagged but I love seeing that bobber get yanked under like that. Things are still a little low and clear around here but we are in prime time and the season will be over before we know it. It’s time to fish hard 🎣🎣🎣
Jerry Martin - Thanks Jerry! This one was a lot of fun. I feel pretty lucky to have caught that fish so quick. It really changed my plans for that trip.
Awesome video... really like the steelhead catch and cook ... my mouth was watering watching you eat that... and that just happened to be the way I cooked and ate my first fish ( trout ) when I was like 10 in Boy Scouts that’s how they taught us to cook over an open fire ...
Robert McGaughey Thanks Robert! I think I will be cooking it that way more often. It’s simple and effective, and considering I need to carry as much as I can when I do these catch and cooks, the simpler the better
Travis White - Thank You! I’ve been really liking the feedback I’ve been getting with these. I will keep mixing it up and bringing new types of content. Thanks for the support
dude, incredible. The few rare occasions ive done this myself i'm not gonna lie i've nearly shed a tear lol it's actually pretty spiritual when you're out there living it. Love your videos bro keep up the good work.
Johnathon Uncapher Thank You so much man, I totally get what you are saying. There are a lot of moments where I just have to stop and soak it all in. Pretty amazing moments. Thanks for the support. I’m always trying my best
It can be a lot of fun when the fishing is good, but that's not always the case.... even living here, it still takes work... but i got pretty lucky on this day.. it's not often i get a steelhead on the first cast. This was pretty awesome though, just figured i'd throw a cast since i was driving by the river and bam, fish on lol.... Good luck when you do get a chance to fish up here! hopefully you have the same luck
@@AnglingAddictsPNW I am moving up there within the next 2 yrs. Already have a house a few miles outside coos bay. I live in the southwest (New Mexico) right now so anything is better than here. Avid fisherman so I am stoked to finally get up to the area I have always wanted to fish in. Your channel has helped me out a ton. Need a few more rods and reels. Y’all’s fish are a tiny bit bigger up there than down here.
New fisherman here. I have learned from your vids. Thanks for the description. I was planning on going to the coast this weekend to try perch fishing. Now i gotta stop by the river, if just for the beauty.
Justin - Thank You Justin, Considering I feel like I really don’t know what I’m doing, I was thoroughly impressed with the finished product. Nothing beats the ability to provide a fresh meal for yourself. Overall a sweet trip. Glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Was recommended this video by a buddy. Makes me want to head out to the Wilson or Kilchis soon. I've been itching for a steel catch this year, might have to scratch hard this weekend. Keep doing what you're doing! Got yourself a new sub.
PNWHookSet Welcome to the channel!! . Now is the time to be out. The next couple weeks should be pretty hot fishing as the season starts to wind down. Both those rivers should produce, just gotta be stealthy when approaching where you are fishing. Good luck, let me know how it goes. I’d be fishing small and dark presentations. I like black jigs with just a touch of red, purple, or pink
@@AnglingAddictsPNW Awesome! I appreciate the advice. Landing one before all the rivers get overcrowded would be sweet. Tight lines and hopefully I run into ya' one of these days.
PNWHookSet - anytime man. Lol and I hear ya, I went and checked out the Sandy today....people EVERYWHERE. I’d imagine it’s going to be crowded everywhere this weekend. I’m sure we will bump into each other one of these days considering how much I am usually out on the water somewhere.
@@AnglingAddictsPNW Decided to go to the Alsea area instead. Had some good luck with a few trout biting. Nothing to brag about, but solid time in the outdoors.
PNWHookSet - some action is better than no action. Everyone wants a big fish to brag about but if you aren’t enjoying the time outdoors you are doing it wrong. Glad to hear you got a little action and got to enjoy some time outside. I’m sure if the water was a bit better the Alsea would have produced for ya
Michael Elkins - I think for reasons just like this, I need to start running video as soon as I pull up. 2 minutes after getting out of my rig I’m fighting a steelhead haha, I love it
Cool video, ... Nick, it's great to be out there fishing doing the catch and cook... and on to more fishing fun....👍 If you cut out the dark lateral line meat and the skin of the fish.... that's a lot of fishyness that you get rid of... 😁..squeeze lemon on the fish after you cook it
I just turned 54 and have fished all my life but I still can't get a taste for it...just a catch and release guy unless I have a special request. Great vid and info!
Doug Sparks Thanks Doug, I was incredibly surprised how well this tasted.. I did drown it in butter and herbs though.. and sautéing onions like that goes a long way. I can’t argue with catch and release though. So many keep fish just because they can
A Z - It’s crazy how amazing that place looks when the water gets like that on a nice day. Doesn’t usually make for the best fishing but I seemed to luck out with this one. Hopefully your rivers clear up soon so you can get out there 🎣
Josh And Hunter’s Adventures - Glad you found the channel!! the coastal tribs do have some pretty looking water on days like these. This whole area is amazing.
Awesome video man! I'm moving up to Oregon this October and was wondering, how do you go about finding spots to fish like this and its parking situation? Thanks!
AnglingAddictsPNW knowledge is freedom, knowledge is enlightening, knowledge is everything, (yeh, right), knowledge is a curse, and never enough butter. You might emigrate over here and find yourself with an incorrectly sized butter dish.
1st, cook your stash shiny side out. There is a releasing agent on the shiny side of the foil. 2nd is that drift wood shelter listed on Zillow cause I'm moving in!😂
Rocky does it all ah man that would have been nice to know before hand. I googled what I could really quick haha. The price is high on this shelter. It used to stand among many, now it stands alone. The tide wiped out this whole area. It is such a cool place to build these - I think I’m going to sleep in one of these this summer
Seeing you were in Tillamook I reckon you caught that fish on the Wilson. I’ve been bank fishing there for 4 days straight and just can’t get me a fish. Any tips/ spots recommended would be much appreciated. Just wanna get my first one of the year haha.
SnizzlesYT - You are correct. And I feel your pain. I’ve spent many days empty handed on that river. I feel like I got pretty lucky the other day considering how low and clear the water is. Which is still the problem right now. There are plenty of fish in there you just wouldn’t know it when you can see into the water so we’ll. The fish aren’t going to want to be too exposed, so I’d be targeting the heads and tail outs of any deeper holes. Mine was right in the middle of the river where it was deepest, riffles in the water will still give a fish some cover, pretty sure that was the case with my fish. I have been wanting to head back that way but that water is so low now. If you aren’t dead set on taking a fish home try the kilchis. It’s mainly natives but it’s another good area to potentially get a fish on. I’m not sure how the trask is doing this season. I hope some of that helps
Did some searching and was able to find the river you fished😂. Just be recognizing the rock and bay you drove by. Maybe not the exact river because there’s a bunch of them in that area. But I know it’s one of the ones by the creamery. Tillamook
Andrew Scheel - I don’t go out of my way to make it impossible to figure out but it’s a point to start exploring from... almost ALL of our rivers have fish in them at some point, just gotta figure out when and where
Mark Catz Catman - I cant complain ;) Thanks to all of you for the support and motivation to keep challenging myself to improve the experience for everyone
I fish the nestuca almost every weekend with exceptional luck, usually about 10 miles up river from the mouth. Everything from steelhead, cutthroat, salmon, trout, and I'm guna say rooster tale is all you need. Just dont bring a trout rod when your going for steelhead.
Geoff Murphy - it’s been a while since I’ve fished the nestucca, I love that river. I didn’t know much back then and it’d be nice to go fish it again. Honestly I’ve never used rooster tails for anything but trout, but I could see how the steelhead would want to smash them too. Thanks for the insight and good luck out there
Milo Wood - I may get back out in another couple days. I’m hoping we get a bit more rain. I don’t really fish weekends all too often. There are still a lot of people looking for their first fish. They aren’t easy to catch and there are more people fishing than fish that return to each river... usually. Keep trying. Nobody should want to fish with me 9/10 I’m bad luck haha
Milo Wood - this time of the season, I’d only fish that low if they just recycled some fish or if the rivers were higher. Guys are limiting put up way higher closer to the hatchery. Most of these fish come in and blast their way to the hatchery. They don’t do a whole lot of hanging out. Which is why they can be harder to catch
Yo dude do u use a bumper or u tie ur braid straight to ur weight/swivel? I’ve done both lost a lot of gear usin 12lb bumper it always snaps off at my inline
Christian Pervier - I will do both, and you definitely aren’t the first one to say you’ve lost a lot of gear that way. This set up had no bumper, just braid to the in-line weight to 12lb fluorocarbon. Honestly I’ve seen no difference in my catch rate between the two different options. It makes sense why a bumper would possibly improve your catch rate but it’s definitely not a necessity to catch fish, especially if you are losing any gear. I’d just go with what you feel comfortable with. My thought was that the water was shallow enough that the line under water would all be fluorocarbon and not visible. If the water were twice as deep I’d have to adjust my bobber stop far enough up the braided line to where there would be braided line in the water column. I wouldn’t want that, especially with steelhead.... salmon, I’m not so worried about.
AnglingAddictsPNW thanks homie, will keep that in mind when I’m fishin deeper water. Thanks for all the content too has me itchin to go fishing lol. Had my first steelhead on a month back or so had him at my legs was in a tough spot in the water couldn’t get on land had no net and before I knew it the beautiful buck I was staring in the face taught me a valuable knot tying lesson😂
Christian Pervier ahhh I know the feeling. Sometimes the fight is what it’s all about. I’m always chasing that feeling you get the split second you get a tug back on your line, or a bobber down, etc. being able to eat a fresh meal is always a perk
Great video, bro! Wish I was out there with you. As for you not being a cook I will have to disagree. I have tasted what you have made. Example: basic coffee in the middle Georgia. Keep up the great work.
Andrew Pappas - haha I enjoyed that coffee. I didn’t know the shiny side of foil is supposed to go out, but now I know lol. Could you imagine eating this out in the field? Thanks for the support bro, I like where things are going
Kenneth Thomas - Thanks bro, I appreciate it. I’m always trying to improve the quality. I was happy with how this one turned out. It’s funny you say that about nwfishingsecrets, I just recently subscribed to his page. He’s got a good vibe. I’d totally do a collab with him
Bud it doesn't matter, just breathe in clean air, drop the valve down and hit a hundred... Steelhead fishing always been special-especially in the clean environment they live in-far away.And you have to look for them every time. The way you finding yourself the way you look for them- always moving on !
AnglingAddictsPNW thanks I’ve used Spider and power pro for my bass stuff but never the high vis yellow. I still have yet to fish much for steelhead but thinking of doing on of my poles with braid.
Chasing Roosevelt’s Outdoors - basically every reel I have has high vis yellow braid on it. Doesn’t matter what I’m targeting haha. It gets it done. I approve
Dear meat for dinner would be proud! It’s all about living brother. Well done. Keep it up. I live by the sandy river and love to get out with you someday. Hit me up if you’re ever interested.
82394forrest Thanks man, dear meat does sound pretty good! Definitely, I want to get some smaller group trips in this year, or just some simple meetups out on the water.. hopefully it’s a decent salmon season!
AnglingAddictsPNW I’m in whenever. I have Monday’s Tuesday’s off but make my own schedule as well. Not sure if you know but “Dear Meat for Dinner” is a channel I follow. All about fishing, hunting, living, being nice to one another etc. he has over 2.5 million followers. One of the Channels that actually got me back into fishing after a long hiatus. Check em out if you haven’t already. Been watching your channel for about 3 months now. Love the content and positivity.
It’s funny how everybody’s Taste palette is different because most people I know including myself think that salmon have more of a fishy taste then steelhead..... I find it very interesting how different everyone is anyways great video tight lines and keep ripping lips!!!
Ryan Leeson - I hear ya man. I eat raw salmon (sushi) all the time but you probably won’t ever see me eat raw steelhead. I say “fishy taste” but that’s always open to interpretation. There are so many factors going into flavor that it just takes one tiny thing for the tastebuds to disapprove of. I gotta say I am starting to like whatever it was I didn’t like so much of before... weird how tastebuds can change as well in time
During eating fish have to very cautious because of very thin like spikes inside fish meat which could make wound in mouth and if by mistake swallowed then 😱 dangerous. Except shrimp and lobster
Kevin Bushnell - haha I wish. I’ve just realized with the time I have I should be doing more overnights considering I have the Armada to sleep in. It’s quite comfortable with just one person and it allows me to get a lot more content in fewer trips. I was able to do 5 videos on my last trip!! We should fish for Rockfish again this year!
mustluvkatina - Really want to let them go where? Trout? It’s a hatchery Steelhead and was put in the river by ODFW to be caught by fisherman. Just an FYI, if I had let this fish go, it would have swam to the hatchery where it came from and would have ultimately just been killed.. that’s the hatchery cycle
mustluvkatina - as much as of a good point that WOULD BE, this is in Oregon, this is a hatchery fish. We catch and release the native steelhead. Letting a hatchery fish go is pointless
That’s weird that you prefer salmon id have to disagree. A nice summer steelhead or even a winter fish is hard to beat. You said steelhead is usually fishy? It’s salmon that tastes fishy in my experience. Steelhead just tastes like really fatty trout what’s not to like. Winter fish aren’t as good but still nice meat.
Ricky Simmonds - I don’t know if “weird” would be the best wording considering everyone has their own preferences and taste buds. It’s quite normal for everyone to not like the same things, but I get what you are saying. That’s your opinion and preference, and I’m sure not everyone agrees. The taste of steelhead is growing on me though haha
AnglingAddictsPNW No it really is weird don’t take offense not saying that in a bad way it’s just funny because everyone says that steelhead is more mild and less fishy which has always been my experience so that’s weird haha. Lots of people that don’t like salmon because of the fishiness actually enjoy steelhead, me being one, unless we talkin sprangers of course.
Ricky Simmonds haha no worries you can’t offend me man. I think it’s weird that you think it’s weird that I think steelhead tastes fishy. Everyone has a different taste palette and it only takes one minuscule thing to displease the tastebuds. I eat sushi all the time, doesn’t taste “fishy” to me. To each their own.
If you want to get rid of the “fishy taste”, remove the skin and fillet the fat off of the meat prior to cooking. It requires a sharp knife, but It makes all the difference
J CV Buttermilk works great to kill any “gaminess” in fish or deer, elk etc... your idea I think is best though for fish, not sure how buttermilk would do with salmon or steelhead. Works great on catfish

Zeb Thielbar - Thanks for joining! Oh man, it was so good. The best part is it didn’t have any sand in it haha.

Max Derinskiy - I totally agree!
I love it when the bobber goes straight down without any thing playing around with it... awesome video too
Graham Harris - Thanks! an obvious fish is always my favorite. I had a decent bow in my line I had to get in before setting the hook. I’m glad the fish was still there haha

A Z - It’s crazy how amazing that place looks when the water gets like that on a nice day. Doesn’t usually make for the best fishing but I seemed to luck out with this one. Hopefully your rivers clear up soon so you can get out there 🎣
Wow that is some pretty water loved it dude. Just found your channel
Josh And Hunter’s Adventures - Glad you found the channel!!
the coastal tribs do have some pretty looking water on days like these. This whole area is amazing.
I can't wait to have a cook off with you one day.
Nice videos...Nice work
Trumper Fishing Thank You, this trip was a lot of fun
Oh men , I almost felt the taste
MrN0body - I think I’m gonna have to start cooking fish this way more often! Either I was really hungry or that was the best steelhead I’ve had
Awesome video man! I'm moving up to Oregon this October and was wondering, how do you go about finding spots to fish like this and its parking situation? Thanks!
Did you know, the standard west coast stick of butter is longer and thinner than the east coast equivalent?
Jeremy Hannaford - honestly, I had no clue 🧈 lol
AnglingAddictsPNW knowledge is freedom, knowledge is enlightening, knowledge is everything, (yeh, right), knowledge is a curse, and never enough butter. You might emigrate over here and find yourself with an incorrectly sized butter dish.
1st, cook your stash shiny side out. There is a releasing agent on the shiny side of the foil.
2nd is that drift wood shelter listed on Zillow cause I'm moving in!😂
Rocky does it all ah man that would have been nice to know before hand. I googled what I could really quick haha. The price is high on this shelter. It used to stand among many, now it stands alone. The tide wiped out this whole area. It is such a cool place to build these - I think I’m going to sleep in one of these this summer
Seeing you were in Tillamook I reckon you caught that fish on the Wilson. I’ve been bank fishing there for 4 days straight and just can’t get me a fish. Any tips/ spots recommended would be much appreciated. Just wanna get my first one of the year haha.
SnizzlesYT - You are correct. And I feel your pain. I’ve spent many days empty handed on that river. I feel like I got pretty lucky the other day considering how low and clear the water is. Which is still the problem right now. There are plenty of fish in there you just wouldn’t know it when you can see into the water so we’ll. The fish aren’t going to want to be too exposed, so I’d be targeting the heads and tail outs of any deeper holes. Mine was right in the middle of the river where it was deepest, riffles in the water will still give a fish some cover, pretty sure that was the case with my fish. I have been wanting to head back that way but that water is so low now. If you aren’t dead set on taking a fish home try the kilchis. It’s mainly natives but it’s another good area to potentially get a fish on. I’m not sure how the trask is doing this season. I hope some of that helps
AnglingAddictsPNW thanks so much man really appreciate it. You have yourself a wonderful day!
SnizzlesYT - Anytime man. Good luck and let me know if you find yourself some fish.
AnglingAddictsPNW will do man haha. Have a good one!
Did some searching and was able to find the river you fished😂. Just be recognizing the rock and bay you drove by. Maybe not the exact river because there’s a bunch of them in that area. But I know it’s one of the ones by the creamery. Tillamook
Andrew Scheel - I don’t go out of my way to make it impossible to figure out but it’s a point to start exploring from... almost ALL of our rivers have fish in them at some point, just gotta figure out when and where
Great life !!
Mark Catz Catman - I cant complain ;)
Thanks to all of you for the support and motivation to keep challenging myself to improve the experience for everyone
I fish the nestuca almost every weekend with exceptional luck, usually about 10 miles up river from the mouth. Everything from steelhead, cutthroat, salmon, trout, and I'm guna say rooster tale is all you need. Just dont bring a trout rod when your going for steelhead.
Geoff Murphy - it’s been a while since I’ve fished the nestucca, I love that river. I didn’t know much back then and it’d be nice to go fish it again. Honestly I’ve never used rooster tails for anything but trout, but I could see how the steelhead would want to smash them too. Thanks for the insight and good luck out there
When you hitting the sandy again i fish it ever whenday i look for you out there this is my firsf year for steelhead and i have had no luck so far
Milo Wood - I may get back out in another couple days. I’m hoping we get a bit more rain. I don’t really fish weekends all too often. There are still a lot of people looking for their first fish. They aren’t easy to catch and there are more people fishing than fish that return to each river... usually. Keep trying. Nobody should want to fish with me 9/10 I’m bad luck haha
@@AnglingAddictsPNW can you give me any tips i have been fishing down by Lewis and Clark State Park
Milo Wood - this time of the season, I’d only fish that low if they just recycled some fish or if the rivers were higher. Guys are limiting put up way higher closer to the hatchery. Most of these fish come in and blast their way to the hatchery. They don’t do a whole lot of hanging out. Which is why they can be harder to catch
Where is the hatchery at on that river
Milo Wood - in Sandy, Cedar Creek is the hatchery. I’d look at it on google maps so you see what you are getting into. It’s a long walk
😋 😋 😋
Yo dude do u use a bumper or u tie ur braid straight to ur weight/swivel? I’ve done both lost a lot of gear usin 12lb bumper it always snaps off at my inline
Christian Pervier - I will do both, and you definitely aren’t the first one to say you’ve lost a lot of gear that way. This set up had no bumper, just braid to the in-line weight to 12lb fluorocarbon. Honestly I’ve seen no difference in my catch rate between the two different options. It makes sense why a bumper would possibly improve your catch rate but it’s definitely not a necessity to catch fish, especially if you are losing any gear. I’d just go with what you feel comfortable with. My thought was that the water was shallow enough that the line under water would all be fluorocarbon and not visible. If the water were twice as deep I’d have to adjust my bobber stop far enough up the braided line to where there would be braided line in the water column. I wouldn’t want that, especially with steelhead.... salmon, I’m not so worried about.
AnglingAddictsPNW thanks homie, will keep that in mind when I’m fishin deeper water. Thanks for all the content too has me itchin to go fishing lol. Had my first steelhead on a month back or so had him at my legs was in a tough spot in the water couldn’t get on land had no net and before I knew it the beautiful buck I was staring in the face taught me a valuable knot tying lesson😂
Christian Pervier ahhh I know the feeling. Sometimes the fight is what it’s all about. I’m always chasing that feeling you get the split second you get a tug back on your line, or a bobber down, etc. being able to eat a fresh meal is always a perk
AnglingAddictsPNW yup right when u feel that fish on nothin better
Great video, bro! Wish I was out there with you. As for you not being a cook I will have to disagree. I have tasted what you have made. Example: basic coffee in the middle Georgia. Keep up the great work.
Andrew Pappas - haha I enjoyed that coffee. I didn’t know the shiny side of foil is supposed to go out, but now I know lol. Could you imagine eating this out in the field? Thanks for the support bro, I like where things are going
@@AnglingAddictsPNW I would have loved to have that good in the field
intro edit was on point. you and nwfishingsecrets should link up and do a video.
Kenneth Thomas - Thanks bro, I appreciate it. I’m always trying to improve the quality. I was happy with how this one turned out. It’s funny you say that about nwfishingsecrets, I just recently subscribed to his page. He’s got a good vibe. I’d totally do a collab with him
awesomesauce
YeshuBenPandera - haha thanks, this was fun
That knife was brand new!
Ruffleist - I had actually just found this knife about a week before I shot this video. Someone left it on a boulder on the Wilson R.
Bud it doesn't matter, just breathe in clean air, drop the valve down and hit a hundred... Steelhead fishing always been special-especially in the clean environment they live in-far away.And you have to look for them every time. The way you finding yourself the way you look for them- always moving on !
love your videos bro come fish the rogue sometime!
cameraman0071 Thank You! It’s gonna happen. The Rogue has been calling for years now
@@AnglingAddictsPNW better hmu that would be awesome!!
Ever fished the Kalama river for steelhead?
AnthonyFlow18 I have not. There are still a bunch of rivers and tribs I’d like to fish in Washington and that’s one of them
Which river?
What braid is that?
Chasing Roosevelt’s Outdoors That is a 30lb high vis yellow by Power Pro
AnglingAddictsPNW thanks I’ve used Spider and power pro for my bass stuff but never the high vis yellow. I still have yet to fish much for steelhead but thinking of doing on of my poles with braid.
Chasing Roosevelt’s Outdoors - basically every reel I have has high vis yellow braid on it. Doesn’t matter what I’m targeting haha. It gets it done. I approve
Dear meat for dinner would be proud! It’s all about living brother. Well done. Keep it up. I live by the sandy river and love to get out with you someday. Hit me up if you’re ever interested.
82394forrest Thanks man, dear meat does sound pretty good! Definitely, I want to get some smaller group trips in this year, or just some simple meetups out on the water.. hopefully it’s a decent salmon season!
AnglingAddictsPNW I’m in whenever. I have Monday’s Tuesday’s off but make my own schedule as well.
Not sure if you know but “Dear Meat for Dinner” is a channel I follow. All about fishing, hunting, living, being nice to one another etc. he has over 2.5 million followers. One of the Channels that actually got me back into fishing after a long hiatus. Check em out if you haven’t already. Been watching your channel for about 3 months now. Love the content and positivity.
Just fyi that I've always known, cook food on the dull side of foil not shiny side.
Geoff Murphy - haha thanks man, I obviously don’t use foil much for cooking.. good to know
It’s funny how everybody’s Taste palette is different because most people I know including myself think that salmon have more of a fishy taste then steelhead..... I find it very interesting how different everyone is anyways great video tight lines and keep ripping lips!!!
Ryan Leeson - I hear ya man. I eat raw salmon (sushi) all the time but you probably won’t ever see me eat raw steelhead. I say “fishy taste” but that’s always open to interpretation. There are so many factors going into flavor that it just takes one tiny thing for the tastebuds to disapprove of. I gotta say I am starting to like whatever it was I didn’t like so much of before... weird how tastebuds can change as well in time
During eating fish have to very cautious because of very thin like spikes inside fish meat which could make wound in mouth and if by mistake swallowed then 😱 dangerous. Except shrimp and lobster
Give it extra flavor? A metalhead needs no extra flavor. The best.
Metalheads destroy salmon in tastyness. They are the finest Andromeda fish you will ever eat.
Did you buy a house on the beach. Nick? 😉 Congratulations on another awesome video!
Kevin Bushnell - haha I wish. I’ve just realized with the time I have I should be doing more overnights considering I have the Armada to sleep in. It’s quite comfortable with just one person and it allows me to get a lot more content in fewer trips. I was able to do 5 videos on my last trip!! We should fish for Rockfish again this year!
@@AnglingAddictsPNW Yes, rockfish would be fun. I'm trying to put something together for next week. I'll keep you posted.
Kevin Bushnell - Sounds great! I look forward to hearing from you.
You really want to let big trout like that go
mustluvkatina - Really want to let them go where? Trout? It’s a hatchery Steelhead and was put in the river by ODFW to be caught by fisherman. Just an FYI, if I had let this fish go, it would have swam to the hatchery where it came from and would have ultimately just been killed.. that’s the hatchery cycle
@@AnglingAddictsPNW spawning cycle bring more fish into the system
mustluvkatina - as much as of a good point that WOULD BE, this is in Oregon, this is a hatchery fish. We catch and release the native steelhead. Letting a hatchery fish go is pointless
That’s weird that you prefer salmon id have to disagree. A nice summer steelhead or even a winter fish is hard to beat. You said steelhead is usually fishy? It’s salmon that tastes fishy in my experience. Steelhead just tastes like really fatty trout what’s not to like. Winter fish aren’t as good but still nice meat.
Ricky Simmonds - I don’t know if “weird” would be the best wording considering everyone has their own preferences and taste buds. It’s quite normal for everyone to not like the same things, but I get what you are saying. That’s your opinion and preference, and I’m sure not everyone agrees. The taste of steelhead is growing on me though haha
AnglingAddictsPNW No it really is weird don’t take offense not saying that in a bad way it’s just funny because everyone says that steelhead is more mild and less fishy which has always been my experience so that’s weird haha. Lots of people that don’t like salmon because of the fishiness actually enjoy steelhead, me being one, unless we talkin sprangers of course.
Ricky Simmonds haha no worries you can’t offend me man. I think it’s weird that you think it’s weird that I think steelhead tastes fishy. Everyone has a different taste palette and it only takes one minuscule thing to displease the tastebuds. I eat sushi all the time, doesn’t taste “fishy” to me. To each their own.
Well I think it’s weird that u think it’s weird that I think it’s weird that u think it’s weird that I think it’s weird that x1000000000 😂
Ali-A You won this round haha
If you want to get rid of the “fishy taste”, remove the skin and fillet the fat off of the meat prior to cooking. It requires a sharp knife, but
It makes all the difference
J CV Buttermilk works great to kill any “gaminess” in fish or deer, elk etc... your idea I think is best though for fish, not sure how buttermilk would do with salmon or steelhead. Works great on catfish
That’s good info. Thanks
