I love the way he drinks his beers. If he’s drinking he ain’t sippin, he’s ripping a solid gulp

i love how you guys have this little community of youtube fishermen.

That’s so cool ya’ll are all close. No egos, all fun and friends.

Am in late 70's and I used to live in Crescent City CA. I kayak fished for about 7 years. Caught many Ling and Rockfish. My best was a 43" CA Halibut. I say this because I can't do that anymore but I love watching your quality videos. It puts me back out there. I live in the heartland now and miss the ocean. But I love watching you guys.

Taku makes me feel like everythings gonna be okay

Watched from less than 50k subs and now, 500k! Amazing stuff Taku! Deserve it all 😀

Just in time! Who’s ready to watch some Outdoor chef life!!

I think we need a cookbook with a bunch of the local catch and cook legends. Even if it’s digital could be fun. See you July 10th

The best parts of your videos are when you fillet the fish and cook and then grubing it down with your lady. Life.

I’ma need a fisherman life and outdoor chef life video together

You know Taku puts out good videos when you’re unsure whether you’re more excited for the fishing or the cooking part of his videos

I just did that drive in the opposite direction. AK to CA! My advice for Alaska is explore places like Copper Center, Valdez, Talkeetna, definitely Homer and Seaward! All have great fishing! Advice for driving the Alcan is stop at every single gas station. Even if you just filled up. It could be the last station you see for another 90 miles. Especially the closer you get to Alaska. Have fun!!

I miss your camping and foraging videos 😩 they were my fave.

SQUAD UPPP!!! Ahhh I love how I started watching you then found fisherman’s life and then I see you guys in videos together. It’s crazy how small the world is. Love to see it

Taku and Joseline are so chill! I love both your personalities!

@20:00 Oh my goodness. That's what it's all about!!!! Catch and cook is so satisfying.

Can’t wait to give this a try. Just wrote down the whole recipe and I got some lingcod in the freezer.

No one's gonna say anything about his "Awesome Blossom Extra Awesome" reference from The Office?!?

Love the look of the fish & Onion rings.... Love the Lo-Fi background music too.... You are the Bob Ross of Fish fry...

This is the best fish recipe I’ve ever seen in my life. So simple but not simple

I love how he says ill definitely be making this next time never see him cook it again. Love it its always new recipes new flavor!

It’s so cool seeing you guys all together!

watching your catch and cooks is so relaxing to me! thanks for all your content

Wow, perfect and clean Fillet. So satisfying to watch.

An outdoor chef life cookbook would be amazing! I would love to have all of the amazing recipes and tips you provide in the cookbook too. Keep up the great content!

Yes ! Nice video and just in time !!. so Awesome to see all of you together fishing and supporting each others cause ! 👍. Always great to see Taku, fillet, prepare and enjoy his meal with jocelyn. Can't wait for the next one !! 💗🎣🌟👍

Love your cooking man, wish we were neighbors I’ll bring a side and all the beer and you cook

Congrats on the completion of your new road home! Your layouts and design were super impressive and inspiring. Safe Travels to you and Jocelyn! Looking forward to seeing all your adventures along the way to Alaska!

You've come a long way my guy. Been here since your foraging videos. Keep it up, let's gooooo!

I love how they are all good friends just living their dreams together having fun!:)

makes me happy seeing you always wearing the PFD on the kayak. love your vids taku.

so satisfying to see you fillet a lingcod other people butcher it so badly lol

Love your videos Taku. One of the main reasons I broke out of my comfort zone and took on cooking was because of you and the possibility that I could cook/recreate the dishes you make. Keep the amazing content coming

Excited for that Alask! Be safe always... It's straight wilderness out there.

Love watching your videos you're an amazing cook thank you so much for this relaxing content it helps me wind down at the end of the day

Always look forward to Tuesday nights to watch these videos

Taku Kondo you are the bomb. Never get tired of watching you fillet fish and make your sushi/sashimi creations. Your videos are inspiring, I even want to learn to fish but probably too late for me - get seasick, can't swim in the ocean and too squimish to handle live fish. Keep up the great work, your enthusiam makes everyday brighter. Plus you and Jocelyn are the coolest.

This is one of the best ever. Thanks so much for teaching us how to cook. Wow!

Your the best fileting fish nobody can even compete with you!

Always so impressed by your excellent editing but most of all your food presentation and the video presentation of the food. Well edited and really one of the best if not THE best catch and cook! That you are a sushi chef is obvious. All that basic sushi presentation comes right through into your own unique style!

really cool to see everyone i sub to in one shot! brought a smile to my face.

Wow what an amazing video, delicious food and even better company. Thank you for giving us excellent ideas for meals. Love the fact that you catch, clean and cook your meals. Good luck with the trip to Alaska, looking forward to watching the cool videos coming up, can't wait! It's going to be great and exciting adventure for you and us ❤️🤗

I can't wait to see your Alaska content! Thanks guys.

Taku always making my day! Looked incredible and thanks always for the content 💯

Your fillet technique gets me every time, just so perfect. Need to practice more often as I usually end up butchering it. Great content and can't wait to see your Alaska videos!

Just got my first respectable lingcod this weekend and you drop this 🔥 today, can’t thank you enough!! Going to try this out this weekend. Thank you brotha

Love the catch, but love the cook more! Keep em coming!

Your knife skills really are impressive. Thanks for always being so informative! You’ve really helped me become a better fisherman and a better more diverse chef

Outstanding video with all the fish and other channels.

Been watching you two from the beginning! My you’ve blown up and congrats to your hard work. Keep more videos coming looking forward to the next one!

Nice, some of the best video I’ve seen. Sometimes watch other videos of a couple other anglers and their video is very digital looking. This is a testament to how good a video can look. Thanks.

This recipe looked amazing before and by the looks of this I gotta say that things didn’t change! It looks soooo goood!!! Amazing catch and cook. Good to see you out fishing with the whole fleet of kayaks. 😂

New addition inside the van 12v mosquito zapper ! Two large caliber hand guns , ammo , and a travel journal , a couple of 20 lb bags of sushi rice , wasabi powder , soy sauce nori , the Alaska expedition is going to be epic ! 👍🏼. Dammit, now I gotta make a fish stick sandwich !

Taku, I doubt you'll see this but I wanted to thank you for the videos you make. It makes me happy to see you out living your best life and it has inspired me to try harder to find my own happiness. Your content never fails to make me smile and it has helped widen my perspective so I can become grateful for all the amazing things this world has to offer. Thank you again, and heres to many more adventures I'll surely tune in for

I swear, the little bits of burnt toast made me so happy for some reason lol 😆

Dang that looks amazing per usual, props to both of yall!

22 people disliked this cuz it made them hungry lol

Loved the Lofi music with the fish frying!

Looked like a Great fishing trip, and an even better Meal!

Such love! Thanks for the vid.

Great Video as always your videos always seems to bring me on the water even though I’m not actually there

Love seeing Matt on the channel!

How excited was I to see this video just now, wow what a time to be alive!

Ooooooo im so making this when i get home. Ive got a bunch of ling fillets from last month. This is mouthwatering. Awesome job Taku!

awesome video, and great recipe. my mouth was watering all the way through.

This looked so soo good! Thank you for the recipe i am going to def have to try this with some local fresh water fish!

So pumped for that Alaska content!

Have a great Alaska trip! Stay safe. Stay healthy. Record and share!

Love the throwback of the the pickled kelp!!

I just got back from fishing for halibut/salmon in Pelican Alaska. fishing was amazing! Excited to see your Alaska content!

Dude! You're making me drool with that sandwich. And that hot sauce is no joke & really tasty. Love the channel. Have fun on your trip. Be safe have fun.

I miss your signature music when you fillet your fish. Bring it back! =)

Alaska as a first trip?! Safe travels my dude! Can't wait for the videos!

I’ve never gone fishing, but watching Takus videos makes me eager to try it :)

This man is literally pulling all kinds of tools out of everywhere.

Woah congrats on half a million!!

Nice you make fishing look like a ton of fun

"MMMmmm" & nods , never gets old watching y'all eat.

The best thing about Tuesday is watching this dude.

Love fisherman’s life. Following you to now brother good fishing man

OMG that fish looked so crispy and delicious. Can't wait for some wild Alaskan stories

I just loved this video! The fishing was fun and the cook part spectacular. I eat fish sandwiches daily but I usually just grill the snapper because it is so easy. But that crust on those fillets got me salivating. Got to try the flour/cornstarch. I looked up the barnacle sauce you used and I am going to have to try that. It seems like such a cool product.

that looked amazing ...excellent fish sandwich

Limit on lings! That bird was mad! The sandwich looked delish! Can't wait for the alaska adventure! Have a fun safe trip!

More catch and cook on the kayak please !!

And that fish and onion rings looks good!!! Sounds crunchy as well. Emmm emmm!!! Thanks for sharing

Chef , thanks for the content , I learn so much from your personal ingredients , I learned to incorporate what ever is in my kitchen , and it always tastes delicious , . , It's not just the ingredients it's how you put them together 🤝....

Awesome content as usual!

Only a true chef eye balls everything and still makes amazing food

Love it when you guys get together and happy to see you catching fish again. Look forward to the Van trip to Alaska, just watched some of deermeatfordinner videos. Wonder if you could have used some of that sauce on the onions rings. In the future, I would like to see some videos on your knives, I have just bought a couple for myself and I make a bunch of different fermented vegetables. A good sharpe knife, really makes cutting up vegetables, for fermenting much nicer, thinner slices with the sweet peppers, jalapeños and red onions or making sauerkraut, changes it somehow. Anyway enjoyed this and that you pickled some kelp, never thought of that before.

Those fish filleting skills are dope👌

Ok I thought your videos made me drool a lot..there is literally a lake of drool on my IPad lol well done Taku!! Can’t wait for your Alaskan adventures!🤘🏻

Seafood, the best! As always, thank you, Taku.

My God that slow-motion fried fish 🔥🔥
