Salmon Fishing - Catch and Cook

  • Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
  • We caught salmon! Fishing was something we have both been looking forward to ever since we moved to Alaska. Of course we had to do it our way and figure it out mostly for ourselves with trial and error. We definitely have a lot of skill to learn when it comes to filleting the fish, but we make it work and I am very proud of us.
    We are going to make time to do quite a few more fishing trips before the end of the season. A quick adventure this time though, because next we start building frames and lifting walls!

    I love watching your videos. Such a matched couple. Lori does not play to the camera but just straight talk to loved ones who must be sitting on edge of their seats like I am. Cori you are a rare young man.....I love you both like my own.
    I am 87 and been house bound for three years after a very busy life and watch lots of videos that have allowed me to learn a lot. This is my very first time to send a comment. I pray a lot and am watching for some very good things to happen after all you have done a magnificent job of working through.
    Waiting with antisipation for everything you so beautifully manage to get through.

    Nice work you two! Love seeing you learn/grow! Too many kids these days just say "I cant" Instead of.. "Ill figure it out"! In a few years you will both look back at this video as your canning your copper river reds and laugh at the pinks you USED to be ok with 😁. For Fileting them try a piece of outdoor carpet to help keep them stable while you filet them. If you get a chance (signal) Simple living Alaska has some GREAT videos showing all you need to know about it. Eric and Ariel have been at it for a while now and have come a LONG way as will you Two! Keep up the great work and Keep building the dream so many of us wish we would have when we were your age!

    Pinks arent really worth while unless they are very bright right from saltwater. When they get a hump starting they are pretty much dog food quality. Thats why that one was near white in color. Lots of other AK youtubers to learn from out there, id suggest you watch some of their fishing vids.

    For a quick "smoked" fish use some of the grocery store bottled smoke. Cook and add it. A few drops work wonders. Almost as good as smoked if you haven't the real setup. Works well for dips as well. Fish makes a good 'tunafish' sandwich chopped pickles and onions mixed in with mayonnaise--yumm! I have been eating salmon here in SE Alaska for over seventy years and a fresh caught Humpy is a darn good eating fish. There are some salmon snobs around that will tell you different and I won't argue that some are better but they are all good. My all time personal favorite would be a white, winter King but I wouldn't turn down any. I do prefer them in their bright saltwater colors before they ever get to fresh water.

    I enjoy your adventures but fear what will happen when winter comes in the not too distant future.I know you are used to the cold winters at Rice Lake but wisconsin doesnt get nearly as much snow as Alaska. Hope you have a plan B for winter since your cabin probably wont be ready.Talk to you neighbors to get advice for your road ahead.Look for rivers that have sockeye or silver salmon.they are much better for eating.Best of luck and hope things will go better for you.

    • @jefferymelvin7252
      @jefferymelvin7252 Год назад

      Best advice I've seen given to them. They need to both find jobs and a rental in town for the winter, and start back up in the spring. Cabin won't be ready before the snow flies and that pop-up won't cut it.

    Make sure you each have bear spray on you, if not a hand cannon (44 magnum or 357 magnum). And speaking of fishing in Alaska, you may want to give dip netting a go, you can get a lot of salmon that way.

    You caught pink salmon. Try targeting red salmon or Silver salmon. They are way better tasting. Honestly, pinks are usually used for smoking or dog food. That may be why you don't like it that much.

    Rubs or spices if smoking them cold smokers or hot smokers you can make with wood mill plain wood box frame different wood for different tastes. Also build a fire why coals rack lay the fish down lay pine bushes around the fish ck once a while pull pine bushes off.

    As a start put down an old towel that you don't care about wetted down. Then the humpies won't slide around as much. Rinse as needed. Wrap in foil with a strip of bacon (Pinks are not as oily as other salmon but delicious).

    if you cook it all , the fish will last longer than if you dont, so if you do cook it all now, you will have alittle to eat tomorrow , or as you say give some to the dogs but they like cooked too.

    You know how you made the comment that your fish look old compared to Cody's fish that's because your fish is already spawned out after they lay their eggs and they and do their fertilization they start to die which means their meat starts to change color. Wasn't sure if you were aware of that but you guys did pretty good jobs on your filleting my son doesn't even got his fish anymore he just cuts down and fillets in like one easy movement all the way down.. the key to doing it in one slick movement is to have an extremely Sharp fillet knife..
    And if you take the carcass and the head and cook it down low and slow and give all those nutrients for your beautiful fur baby
