This is literally the only youtube channel that doesn t bore me to death! Awesome content every time💜

You are literally the coolest guy and local!

This was so satisfying (and helpful) to watch! I'm slowly improving on filleting...picked up many pointers here. Now I just need to catch some chunkers. 😄🐟

That's the best fillet job I've seen yet on KZfaq good job 👍

I have never seen this technique ever. I'm impressed and will follow your excellent tutorials. Thanks! I like the idea of putting the carcasses back in the ecosystem. As for me its crab bait, Raw Dog Food, and garden fertilizer. But never into the landfill for sure. 😎👌

Just found your site and love your videos. You show so much respect for the outdoors and our natural resources. One of my pet peeves is people wasting salmon when cleaning their fish. You did a great job. You can go another step by using a large soup spoon to scrape the flesh from the backbone. You end up with a wonderful salmon hamburger that makes great salmon patties or for soups or curry or just throw it your pan with the onions, butter and Danish salt. My freezer kept filling up with crab bait and vacuum packed salmon hamburger was a great improvement.

Great video, my grand kids learned from you, a real pro. Thanks.

No waste, clean filets, and nice red meat good job. Since you said you're open to input I'll tag you on the next video I post doing a similar tutorial. I have a few already I just haven't taken the time to post. Few tips for you now tho based on what you were saying. Regardless of if you gut it or not, make BOTH your collar bone cuts on the side closest to the head FIRST and remove the head. This will make EVERYTHING ELSE much easier and won't struggle on the second side since you're now flat instead of lop sided. Whether you keep the collars or not, doing this will also allow you to choose how much to leave on the collars to eat, or how little to take away with the collars. For me I've learned a stiffer fillet knife for salmon works best to get through everything and have more control enabling you to get it done much faster. You certainly didn't waste anything, but taking that much time can get old after 5 fish n still have 7 to go after a full day of fishing (3 person limit of 4), although I highly doubt it takes you 10 minutes to filet 1 fish. I also typically leave that lil meat to get it done and to give my crab bait a lil more meat n fat to bring them in. If you can use ur hat cam next time you'll give your viewers a closer view of what you're doing and more natural way that you actually do it. Nice hoe n filets. If you wanna get more practice, trout have the same anatomy so if you consistently catch trout, big trout especially, that's a great way to sharpen, lol, your salmon filet skills. Usually have high limits for chum salmon so that's also a good way to practice for the higher quality salmon like coho n Kings. Cheers n tight lines.

I’m definitely trying this on my next salmon

I can't get over how beautiful that fish's meat looks, and wonderful filet job btw👍

Great video I found it very helpful. Keep up the great work👍🇨🇦

mad skills, such a clean filet

very nice... thank you for sharing!

Good stuff man, Thanks for the info!

❤I love your videos every chain one of them I live in Seattle to

Keep up the great work

Great video keep them coming

The second fillet is always hard! Thanks for the video.

Amazing journey enjoy

When it comes to saving time, gutting it at the river would probably be even more efficient once you get to filleting it. Helps to see what your doing when you can open the belly up. By all means this works to though, you did a very clean job. Tight lines!

First time seeing you cook without tortillas, lol. Very well done.

Awesome video. I've watched a few videos that make it look too easy with one quick slice and I end up making a mess of my fish and leaving a bunch of meat behind. I love your incremental approach. I have three huge chinook in my cooler right now and I hope to employ what I have learned. These have already been gutted and gills removed but I would like to figure out how to do this gutless filet method right down on the river. Less to pack out and just more efficient in every way. I'm in BC and if I'm reading the regs correctly it should be ok as long as I leave the tail attached (assuming they are long enough without the head attached).

Great video. I like this no gutting way. I have dogs and like blood around my house when I bring them home to fellet when blood all over the driveway.

I love your videos They're so entertaining, I look forward to watching them after work . Speaking of, what do you do for work (day job ) ? You have a beautiful boat, nice smoker , and a gorgeous home.

Super dope

Thanks for being so meticulous on this! I've always wanted to know how to fillet a larger fish, the right way.

Great content man keep it going ! Deff easier gutting first though haha

Is this just for salmon or would this work for other species as well?

Nice video keep it up

Resident coho seems getting slower. Only 1 bite and hook came off when we landing it. And lost it... outgoing tide or incoming tide ? Which works better for you at MA10?

Thanks so much for the filleting demo for me to study the proper technique! 😁👍🐟

Same way I do trout

Please pick me, I love the Washington hoodie!!!by the way I love your videos I have watched almost all of them!!!

Help me understand please. Did you bleed this fish out first? Or just “bonk” it? Thanks for sharing all your knowledge, great energy and experiences with us.

Show us how to smoke salmon that would be so helpful, and fish on

Never seen this done befor. Gonna try this fillet way. Good job man!

Black salmon hoodie merch.

Hey man i cant find ur curing the egg video.

Hey bro, you dont scale the salmon?

tip: start at the fin to really find the back bone

Hey there, u know so u don't loose the head n the meat left on the bones, u can make a very good soup. Quick recipe, fish heads if u have more than one, left overs. Boil water with one onion, than add fish, carats, potatoes bay leaf, salt n pepper to a taste. Also can add rice. Very good soup. Calls уха, or ущитсья, russian fish soup. U can use any kind of fish, small or big, also can use hole fish or just head n bones n specially if u have more than one fish left overs. Let me know if u tried it or need more specific recipe, thx

true very slow but worth it yeah cheeks might be small yet r like

Great videos! However, I do want to point out that in some places, like Wisconsin, dumping those fish guts in lakes/rivers is very illegal. Even if you catch that coho right out of Lake Michigan and clean it right there, you’re not supposed to dump the guts. So definitely check regulations.

Honestly you should try gutting the fish at the river or something and I recommend using a spoon to scrape the extra meat on the spine and stuff

So get a round knife 12 or 13 inch knife and cut under the fin and go right to the back and flip the fish around we own a fishing lodge so ya

Looks like that’s a Jere sculpture on the wall.

30 seconds in and my mouth is watering

Scrape off the excess fish meat with a spoon and make a salmon burger that would be so good

Filleting fish salmon and trout fucks them up

not only don`t want wasted meat , but wasting the life of a fish that is giving the meat to you

You forgot to scale the fish
