Episode 27 - Kitsuch

Coho Salmon are the best tasting, fighting and challenging of all pacific salmon species. Fortunately, nearly every river in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia has a run of coho in it. From Squamish through to Hope, there WILL be coho in every tributary, stream, river and slough. The challenge is finding them, and getting them to bite!

I was wondering if you can maybe make a video on how u r attaching your fluorocarbon leader to the braid n what knot are u using on the hook. I am using a egg loop rite now but not sure if the fluorocarbon will hold up. Thanks n awesome job

[ScreamingReelsTV]

@waqasmalick i use a nail knot to attach the fluro to the braid, and an egg loop for my hooks. you can find videos how to do this with google.

I do have to say that my favorite fish of all is white king. Just curious, do you grill these or bake them?

[ScreamingReelsTV]

@ReggyRay289 Grill or broil. White kings, or white fleshed chinook salmon, are the scourge of local anglers. Many rivers have had these fish augmented by hatcheries to provide large amounts of fertilizer from the deceased adults post spawn. Unfortunately, they turn black fast, stink, are slimey, and just get in the way. Unless the fish is absolutely chrome bright, it's best to break them off and not deal with them.

That adipose was removed perfectly. Do you know if they are removed by hand or by one of those 'autofish' machines?

[ScreamingReelsTV]

@Trichomes503 I don't know of any hatcheries that use a machine to clip adipose fins. I've clipped thousands of coho and steelhead fry myself, all by hand. It's easy enough to get a good clip.

I agree with you on the best fighting part. Even the smaller guys, even like around 4 or 5 pounds put up a hell of a fight right to the end.

WTF happened to your forum Ular ????????

[HookedonBC]

@ScreamingReelsTV

Did your stupid ass just say its best to "just break them off and not deal with them"

Fishing isnt all about catching something to kill and eat. Heard of catch and release? Most fishermen would rather catch and release a 30lb king than some other fish like a 5 pound coho or chum. They fight like hell and are the only salmon worth catching for the fight. But I guess if your poor and starving and/or too much of a pussy to reel a big chinook in, then go ahead and bust em off

[TheFishmando]

@ScreamingReelsTV what????? Coho are a nice, easygoing fish to catch that rarely exceeds 15 pounds, but white kings are awesome. they get huge and fight way harder than a coho. It takes alot more skill to land a big king than a coho. coho are fun and got the acrobatics but when I want a fish thats really gonna fight its all about the chinook. And white kings in my experience are really good smoked or barbecued because of the high oil content. Just saying, theyre called KING salmon for a reason.

@ScreamingReelsTV Those are such great looking eggs I'm guessing you cured them yourself from a hen?

[hattrickster33]

@sturgywrangler Taste is subjective. You're right about the other two though but they can be tough to catch sometimes.
