After a successful pike fishing trip at a nearby lake we bring our catch back to the cabin and prepare pickled pike for surprisingly delicious tacos.

Howdy ya'll, love your videos. We moved to Alaska back in '70. What an adventure! I was 12 years old along with my five siblings and mom and dad. Drove up the Alcan towing a travel trailer and camped about a mile from Charlie Lake B.C. My two older brothers and I hiked down to the lake following a crisscrossing game trail. The Northern pike were biting like crazy. We kept the largest one at about 35 inches! We got lost on the way back for hours and hours. The RCMP was even looking for us. We ate the fish the next morning for breakfast. By far the best fish I ever ate. My favorite. I stayed in Alaska for 22 years. Some siblings are there still as is our step mom. (Hi Mary, Susan, Jennifer and all) Pretty sure they follow you two as well. Your videos sure make me homesick. All my old stomping grounds. Thank you for sharing. P.S. We pickled, smoked, and/or canned almost everything we harvested. Pickled halibut was one of my favorites.

These tacos look amazing, I love pickled pike! I’ve got 28 more videos and then I’ll be caught up to your “real time” videos. But honestly there’s so much to learn from each video I might go back and watch the “videos in order” playlist all over again! Way better than any T.V. show or Netflix series.

On Canada fish camp excursions, the people fishing for walleye gave the Northern to me. After filleting, I’d grind them in the meat grinder, stir Shake n Bake for fish into the meat. Formed them into patties and fried them up. Served on buns with homemade tartar sauce.....no bones to contend with and the kids loved them. (So did our fishing friends who were surprised they were eating pike. 🍁🍁 Happy memories! Thanks for the fishing videos.
