@dookiekong007 Brine is a salt water mix used to prepare fish for smoking. The brine flavors and helps the smoke get absorbed into the flesh. Brine can be made of kosher salt, soy sauce, brown sugar and water.... or maybe just salt and water. Sometimes a dry brine of just brown sugar and salt...there's many different variations. Some soak it for 2 hours, some overnight. Maybe if you cold cure it in smoke, perhaps the salt helps with the parasites?..... or perhaps you are going to dry it?

@FreeFishingLessons so I need to make this clear, after filleting a fresh caught steelhead, you either brine it (no idea what it is) or salt the whole fillet, overnight/day in the fridge to kill off the parasites. Then thaw it and smoking it is pretty much only for the flavor. Now, am I right all the way? and explain to me what brine is.

@JaysoutFishin yup...no excuse for the dull knife, but gotta do what ya gotta do to smoke some steelhead....LOL...BUT look at the bones left over at the end of the video. I get ALLOt of the meat, just a thin strip left on the carcass.... fillet not pretty and smooth, but meat intact and one piece :)

@FreeFishingLessons Wasnt trying to be rude i appologize, Theres a way better way to cut fish tho, you get like 98% of the meat. Just a little tip, try to avoid that sawing motion, and go for more long clean swipes with pressure applied to the knife

@JaysoutFishin Right on man, Thanks for the feedback...happy fishing!

@fisheye009 Where do you think the fish from a grocery store come from? The only difference between catching a fish from a lake, and buying one from a grocery store is how fresh your fish is. This man obviously has a lot of respect for the fish he catches. Why the attitude?

Conservation efforts are put in place so responsible anglers can enjoy the harvest of a fresh fish,..especially hatchery fish.

@FreeFishingLessons you can improve your next video by not killing any steelhead, you scumbag! what are you poor whitetrash who cant afford some groceries?
