Up next in 10
After a slow start of the live stream where the chum fishing bite turned off for a few minutes, I found where they were all schooled up again and hooked many in a row with the bobber only hitting the water for a few seconds before it got pulled under! Epic chum fishing!

uh thank you all the brave men women who served hope you have an awesome day today and uh maybe to help make that
0:08
awesome I'm gonna show you a whole bunch of chum fishing here so we've already caught quite a few the
0:14
bike's pretty good so hopefully I'll have lots of lots of fish on cam here
0:28
oh man you can see him rolling rolling around here
0:35
let's see
1:07
yeah go through those rollers
1:25
oh yeah you're rolling all down here
1:51
foreign
2:12
oh I have yeah they're uh they I mean they smoke up they'll smoke
2:17
up good because they're pretty oily but they tend to be on the softer side and yeah uh there's a few runs that uh will
2:23
cut better uh in terms of like the pigment more red but these will be pretty white yeah yeah
2:29
and uh you could smoke them up but you know down by the salt is usually when they're
2:38
there yeah and uh you know they uh I mean they're marketed in the
2:44
store right as Akita or silver Brite yeah so
2:50
a lot of people don't read them but
3:04
if I didn't have three freezers yeah exactly that's uh that's my excuse
3:12
I have no business keeping anything that's marginal
3:19
if anything I gotta make room for the uh red meat that's hopefully hopefully going in
3:26
there we go rolled right right in front of my bobber come on kick it
3:36
my family will you know they start to complain in terms of uh how much uh fish I try to force feed
3:43
them can't eat any more fish dad
3:48
yeah the way I am I like catching them way more than eating them so I give most of them away
3:54
I like the whole experience we have so many different ways that we uh fix
3:59
salmon like this the whole thing is uh is awesome
4:06
but I don't eat nearly as much as I catch so someone's got to help me eat them
4:23
well we pretty much stopped buying uh beef products over the most part because we just use the deer or elk or whatever
4:30
and that's good certainly we don't buy fish
4:40
I've only got a few tubs of shrimp left though we didn't we didn't shrimp nearly as much this year as uh previous years
4:47
so oh man come on
4:55
yeah it did and they were shallower this year uh you know the first time I didn't
5:02
figure that out the first trip I did and struggled more than I should have
5:10
after I figured it out we were locked in but
5:16
normally too well I mean we've had years where we've put like 1500 shrimp in the freezer and
5:23
you're gonna eat shrimp every week for a whole year you know but uh usually that's when we'll do like a
5:29
multi-day camping trip in like the San Juans or the strait or something where it's like you've got the consecutive
5:35
openers and you just go out there and yeah right put my protesting kids on the boat
5:41
for their limit talk to my friends anyone have a
5:48
kid I can borrow or a baby something you know
5:53
as I can get them a shrimp license feed them keep them fat on the boat
5:58
entertain the real problem is I went live on my
6:05
channel just just now and now now the pushing is stopped that's what happened yesterday too I was like I got already
6:11
gonna show everyone all the great fishing and then it was like
6:17
yeah and it's just such that shuts down I mean obviously they're all still here it's just
6:22
we've had lulls they're over there in that
6:28
rollers
6:36
it looked like one but I never felt that or anything shell is up a little bit over there so
7:13
there's another bobber rod
7:25
thank you
7:51
all right
7:56
I'm gonna move over move our operation
8:20
you know they are rolling like crazy down here I'm gonna go check that out
8:29
it's like there's the main Channel and then there's the side Channel where they've been
8:34
rolling usually throw it right in the middle of the rollers and oh yeah here we go here
8:39
we go
9:32
foreign
10:12
all right all right
11:16
foreign
11:31
there's Chum boiling everywhere over here holy cow
11:40
I'm bite now
11:56
all right
12:10
there we go
12:30
all right all right now we hooked fish
12:56
oh man that is nice oh
13:07
he spit the hook right there of course my uh
13:12
my shrimp I'm tipping this with is way back on the other side
13:18
on the channel so we'll uh beat up and
13:23
give it another try here Chum everywhere in this spot
13:30
ridiculous
13:39
you saw the sorry for anyone who was on on Watching Me cast and not catch
13:45
he showed up just before that
13:51
we've probably hooked 15 to 20 . uh you can use sand shrimp but I mean
13:58
it's kind of an Overkill I mean we just use the store-bought store-bought shrimp so
14:03
you know I mean that's you can see what's in my box here or what's what's left of it
14:19
and finally find the hook the rollers down there anything over here going or still dead
14:27
foreign
14:32
part is you hook it through the shell so it stays on
14:39
longer
14:50
keep having to bend this jig back this is an arrow jig
14:55
or it was an arrow jig number one 11 it's been thoroughly tortured by mini
15:01
Chum I'm gonna take this back over there
15:07
there's a lot of them just staging in that channel waiting to move up
15:15
all right taking my shrimp back
15:20
with me this time it kind of keeps moving what part part
15:25
of the river is hotter the uh the side channel that they're sitting in or the the main river drift we hooked a ton of
15:33
fish out of the main river in the last hour um as the water's dropping
15:39
oh very good very good uh Grace claw yeah
15:45
good luck man the uh it's it's I'm amazed how bright some of these Chum are like they're
15:51
I haven't kept any of them but uh they're just I mean they're they're Chrome fish for this time of
15:58
year for Where We Are on the river probably I don't know 20 miles from the mouth
16:05
um there's some bright fish so it's pretty cool
16:10
hoping it'll uh hoping it'll keep fishing well
16:16
what's that got one on nice
16:24
all right
16:36
oh yeah oh yeah you can see him there's rolling everywhere over there
16:57
oh yeah yeah they are everywhere through here
17:16
cast it right in the drift there
18:15
foreign
18:31
still got the shrimp on here too holy cow no it looks
18:38
pretty good
18:43
let's make that same cast again from the other side of the
18:48
of the uh oh my goodness it's rolling everywhere this is
18:55
so amazing
19:01
I don't know if you've seen by Bob or it goes again there it goes again
19:10
that's pretty awesome oh no oh no we got off again what the heck
19:16
oh my goodness
19:30
keep making the same cows they keep biting look at that yep
19:38
foreign that's weird
19:43
that hasn't happened yet this this hook has got to be bent out or something
19:49
that's like three in a row
19:54
holy cow what is going on here
20:00
somehow this shrimp is still on
20:09
that's the problem we you know we kind of kind of horse these fish in you know versus tiring them all the way out
20:16
and then uh some of these jig hooks will bend
20:22
on the Aero jig they're not the Super sturdy hooks
20:31
I don't really mind losing Chum to uh bent out hooks though I mean
20:36
it's kind of a plus or minus you can have a really sturdy hook that never bends out and uh you never lose a fish that way
20:43
but if you you hung up on the bottom you know every single time that thing's
20:49
gonna uh you know you're gonna lose that because it'll the
20:55
hook there we go come on all right
21:04
let's back the drag off a little bit that time so hopefully hoping uh
21:10
it's gonna stare already right there oh my goodness
21:19
and the hook looks fine it's not been it's not bent out so
21:24
I'm gonna rebate again and uh
21:43
this is what I was hoping to show on uh on live Chum cam is a
21:50
you know non non-stop action that this uh fishery is uh you know for
21:58
the uh I was looking back at the camera and my float was under like within a couple
22:03
seconds of hitting the water it was already pulled under ridiculous
22:13
there it goes again fish on again
22:21
all right I'll let this one fight a little bit a little bit more
22:31
I feel the view I think I gotta move the camera slightly so that
22:40
stand here
23:02
oh yeah
23:12
come on smile for Chum cam Chum Chum Chum
23:21
oh we gave it up right there I keep losing the chum
23:28
oh
23:34
all right how long before the bomber hits the water
23:39
oh my gosh I hit one with my calf it was ridiculous
23:44
oh fish on again dude there's a pile of them over here
23:51
I'm hooking up every cast within seconds
23:58
it's ridiculous
24:21
foreign
24:44
foreign
25:10
foreign
25:40
foreign
26:12
foreign
26:35
there we go
26:41
oh my goodness
26:56
yeah I'm using the 111 Arrow jig tip with a little bit of shrimp uh store-bought raw shrimp with the shell
27:03
on you want the shell on otherwise it won't stay on your hook very well
27:10
it's funny uh the chum are kind of like a a combination of a
27:16
of a chinook and a in a Coho the way they fight uh you know
27:21
they'll they'll have like the hard tug or pull of Chinook um but when you get them in close then
27:27
they go nuts and they do the death roll so and they got these big you know big
27:32
fangs big big teeth that uh uh the spawning Nails get especially
27:38
um you know the closer the spawning they get and so it's kind of annoying to
27:43
um I like it when they long line release you know fight for a little bit and then get off because you take them into Shore
27:49
and you net them and they twist around in the net and their teeth get all caught in the net even with a rubber net
27:56
um all right I'll bring the next one I'll bring the next one closer to the camera uh raw shrimp raw shrimp 100 uh
28:05
uh yeah absolutely hold on let me hook another one I'll try to bring the next one close to the camera
28:41
all right
28:55
look at that guys you see that it's not in the water more than like
29:01
five seconds before it's like Bob or down fish on
29:06
fish oh this thing this place on fire
29:13
double nice nice
29:18
this one's running a little bit
29:26
dude I this once this hits the water it's on in like five seconds it's the hottest it's been
29:34
it's insane dude I think a lot of those fish that were
29:40
over there came over here they're staging to move up Upstream oh he got off right there oh
29:45
dang I was gonna try to share that one with
29:52
the camera but he got off right there
30:12
[Applause] that's okay we'll just we'll just hook another one
30:26
oh my goodness and it's fish on again
30:34
if I was sharing this the video you guys probably wouldn't believe me but since it's live you
30:40
you can't uh oh my goodness it's crazy
30:52
all right here we go we'll get this one in this one wants to smile for come cam
30:59
[Applause] you're so fresh and feisty too you know it's not like they're dark rotting Chum
31:07
that you know aren't fighting and they're just dogging you these fish are pretty uh
31:13
very feisty
31:32
foreign
32:01
foreign
32:30
cam wow
32:45
[Applause] did you guys like that
32:51
that was pretty cool oh my goodness yeah they are really gnarly fish
32:57
I love I love them though they're so uh they're so easy to easy to get to go you
33:03
know using the right stuff ah you know if only if only koho and
33:09
Chinook were this easy to catch right that would be that would be something
33:36
we're baited up again and uh I was horsing that one in a little bit
33:43
so my hook got bent out a little bit I've been using this I have caught like 40 or
33:49
50 Chum on this same jig what was that again what'd you say about
33:55
the color yeah someone's someone's watching while
34:01
working that's perfect uh would you say someone said a comment about the color I don't
34:07
I don't know how to get that back what what was that
34:13
if you can repost that comment
34:22
oh if they're good eating man you know uh they Market it in the stores as uh as
34:28
keita or silver bright salmon and there's definitely commercial Chum
34:34
Fisheries I mean they sell uh and so people eat them and you know especially in the salt
34:39
uh they're better um uh we uh you know I think uh I think if
34:45
you smoke them I've had decent smoking product but it really depends on like you know like what your experiences with
34:52
with salmon and Chinook and Coho and um yeah exactly the canned salmon
34:58
exactly um so I don't know I I'm not certainly not gonna judge anyone for eating them I
35:03
mean it's it's it's salmon it's fish um yeah exactly yeah thank you Jonathan
35:10
yeah exactly they uh sell them down at Pike Place smoked uh because they
35:15
they're actually a decent product smoke because of how oily they are so it's it's actually not you know they're
35:20
pretty they're not as firm as you know your you know you're schnook and Coho so it's not quite the barbecue experience
35:27
but um but you know they'll smoke up they'll smoke up fine so and these fish these fish that we're
35:33
hooking here I mean uh these would smoke up uh if I had room in my freezer for them I'd definitely probably keep a
35:39
bright one and some of them have like really white bellies really firm so yeah
35:45
yeah so you know what you know you know what you're talking about yeah they're they're really um I I like I like smoked
35:50
pinks too they're another fish that's you know not as firm but it's they're really oily you get a fresh one and uh
35:55
you know uh I think they taste great smoked
36:05
all right we're back to back to fishing
36:10
how many seconds before this one bites one two three four
36:17
five come on
36:28
I can't believe it my float hasn't gone down yet that's a they must have the school must have moved somewhere
36:34
slightly
36:51
um what did I hook like 10 in a row right there I mean that was pretty crazy
36:57
it's absolutely ridiculous and the crazy thing is the bobber I mean
37:03
I wasn't in the water for more than five seconds for most of those bites I mean there must have been just a mess of chum
37:08
over there absolute mess all right
37:18
my bobber knot might have slid down on me too it's been sliding
37:25
all right
37:31
all right let me get the bike back going again they kind of stopped rolling so
37:39
I wonder if the school moved on because I could see him uh on the channel across
37:44
the way they're trying to move up the creek now that's pretty cool
37:59
it seems like the school though is not in the same spot as they were
38:11
I could see him boiling though on the other near the uh the channel it looks like they're trying to move up
38:20
I think that's where they they may have moved closer over there
38:27
I wish the resolution was better you could see see the whole picture here
38:34
but I only have like two bars of Lte out here so
38:56
let me see all right
39:02
I mean that's a little bit more towards that way
39:11
foreign
39:43
all right you know you guys want to see the uh the
39:48
I can get the cam closer to the uh where these fish are coming up the creek mouth that might be kind of interesting
39:55
let me uh let me move and uh and and see if I can get that
40:01
see if I can get that on camera because that's pretty uh that's pretty cool they're just
40:07
consistently moving up uh I'm not sure if I can fish because the
40:12
bank is kind of steep but uh maybe you can see the chum moving up the
40:20
channel it's pretty cool
40:31
here we go here we go look at this look at this
40:47
oh wow you guys see the
40:55
you guys see the chum moving up right there is it right yeah right there
41:02
I thought this was deeper over here look at that
41:12
[Applause]
41:18
they're moving up right in that little Channel I don't know why they don't choose the main Channel but
41:25
let's do that holy God I wonder if I can
41:31
I wonder if I could fish this where you could see like the they're moving up while I'm fishing
41:37
let's see
42:29
[Applause]
42:37
oh man look at that can you see that okay go into the camera right there I'm
42:45
hoping they'll bite so I don't have to like I'm worried that I'll snag a Chum if I
42:50
try to get my oh there you go oh no no no
43:14
I thought I had a bite right there
43:41
I wonder where all the chill went that were just over here
43:58
uh shoot
44:25
well hopefully that was cool I lost my uh I
44:31
lost my bait though so I uh I gotta go back up and
44:36
it doesn't seem like there's a as much going on over here as I thought there might be
44:42
so I don't know I might I might walk back over to the main Channel and um
44:48
and uh and keep fishing there but uh I'll probably close the stream here I just
44:53
wanted to this first time doing it on uh YouTube and and uh going Live this past couple days I was on on Instagram
44:59
