 Oh, that was ripping. Look at this thing. Oh, baby. Fish and Freaks, welcome back to the channel. I've got something special for you today. The biggest meat haul, catch and cook I have ever done. And I want to say thanks to all you that commented on the New Zealand series, left that good positive feedback. Man, I worked hard on that. And man, it was a outdoor challenge. And I just, I had a great time putting it together. So thank you for your feedback. And today's video is sponsored by the FoodSaver GameSaver. I can't pick a better sponsor for today's video, literally something I use all the time to keep my meat fresh, keep those golden crispies extra crispy when it's time to break them out of the freezer. And they have a sale going on right now. I'll leave a link at the top of the description for the month of June. Go on Amazon. Boom, 17% off on this thing. If you're an outdoorsman, you need to get you one. Every few months, me and the catch-go team, we get together. We go out, we test products. We're working on new things. And we just go out fishing sometimes and have a good dangle together. And this time, me and Matt went up there with a bunch of the crew from the catch-go team and Josh, who has his own boat and he has his own guiding service that he does on the weekends. And he's got like a big offshore boat. And we're going to the Great Lakes to go after salmon. This is so crazy to me because you think about salmon, you think about the ocean rivers, things like that. But no, we're going trolling out in the middle of the lake. And there's these giant fish swimming around. It was just an awesome time. And we got a ton of meat. Check this out. There's been some find-out. We're about five miles offshore on the state line in Illinois and Wisconsin. Downriders, dim-sea divers, and later boards to get them. What's a dim-sea diver? I have no idea. We're about to find out, though. These four-degree water temp, which is pretty good right now. 52 would be a little better. So keep trolling out deeper until we get to that water temp. Really good not to climb, man. Oh, man, that's the rules. Well, that's perfect size for it. What was that depth of that? That was down 15 feet. 15 foot. He's a high rider. He's doing a video. No, I did not catch it. You have to catch the fish to do it. That's the thing. I can't believe, Josh, you're not. You're standing for this, not biting the head off right now. For all that talk. A force 10 AM, too. Oh, it's like 5 AM. I guess the tradition is you bite the head off for good luck. I'm going to limit the force 10 AM. There's another one. There's a lot of lines going on here. Another coho. Oh, we've got a runner. Oh, yeah, this is getting silly. Yeah, how can we help? Woo, it's a headbiter. Oh, I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm going to walk like a natch. Oh, we got another one hooked up. That sucker's fighting pretty good, man. Yeah, he doesn't want to give up. We'll get your danglers tangled. There we go. Oh, yeah. Body slam them in there. These are fighting good. Nice, man. That's a small one. That's what he said. I don't consider that small. Dude, you got the king. You're the king of the boat now. Didn't bite his head off, though. You have not. You still have to do that. I put up in the crow's nest. It seems that the big, big barks are kind of deeper. What was that called on, a whirly bird? That was on one of the peanut flies. Peanut fly. I knew it. That's the next guess. What do we got? We got a king. I'm the king. Look at this thing. Oh, baby. Oh, yeah. OK, drag set. Drag set, just reel out. This one was low, like how deep? That was probably down 60 feet. 60 feet. I knew those big bores were down there. All that work in the crow's nest. Yeah. Filled the thunder. First king ever. Got 51 feet out. Woo-hoo-hoo. I might have to give this one a nice big lick in the face. I don't know if you can stiff them. They've got some big teeth. I'm just handling them. Yeah, you're horsey. Walk backwards. I'm left up to walk backwards. Oh, yeah. Oh, look at this guy. It's no big. We need a bigger head. Look at it. I'm right behind you. Get that nut out of my way. I under-judged his size. Look at that big boy. Holy cow. Oh, my gosh. That's huge. That thing's awesome. How many sandwiches can we get out of that? Five out of ten. Yes. You got another one. First king and another fish on. Yeah, it's right here. Take it off. Pick that rod up. Fish on. How do you hold these suckers? Not like that. Not like that. Why does teeth though don't go too deep? That gill slot is slimy. First king salmon right there. Nice fish, but a great bite. That's still quite sweet and fast. That's a little too chubby. That's a little too big. King on. Another king here. Josh is telling me we just got to take it easy with this guy. Let him run when he wants to run. This drag is really loose. I'm not used to this. I have like six of these. It's probably a good thing. You got to keep it loose for your bed. Oh, he just got it. No, he just got it. Still he did. He's running. Don't tell me that thing got off. No, it's huge. Did he get it off? Keep it on. No! God, dude, that was way bigger than what I thought it was. Yeah, it was a nice one. Seriously, that was like 20 pounds. Dang, dude. Yeah, that was, uh, it actually looks like a king's love for another one. Man, hooked up. Can we get a yee? I think it's a lager. No way. Is it a dragon? He's not digging like that king I have. It's not running like a king. No, it's a lager. Maybe you haven't woken up yet. Oh, he's a lazy. He's a lager. Lazy lager. A lazy lager. Look at him. Oh, yeah. He's a grease ball. What's the story on these lake traps? They're just lazy. They sit down on the bottom and wait for something to go by their face and they nab it. So they're basically catfish. Yeah. Oh, those are big. I want to get him jumping. Come on, man. Get up there. Get that jump. The same line, though. It's tangled in itself somehow. This requires patience. Let me hand this guy. Let me handle it. You want an old bite or something? Woo-hoo. I'm so soft. This might be the old king or? That's a steely. That's a big steely. Mm. Taste of cakes. Look at him. 400 feet out. It's a ways to real efficient, huh? It was. 200 yards of braid, then 200 feet of copper, then 30 yards of lead, and then 15 yards of fluorocarbon. That is silly. Nice one. We got on. Oh, got a big lager, baby. Never caught one of these. I've never caught anything that's coming into the boat today, so. Is this your first one best coming in? This is PB. We got a flare title coming at you right now. It feels really heavy. It feels like a big catfish. There's no head shape. Kind of feels like sludge. It was 140 feet down. OK. On the bottom. 140 feet down. That's officially the deepest freshwater failure I've ever caught. Like a circle flop. How many rods do we have out? About 17, I think, right now. 17. Come on, likey. Look at this form. Nice and easy. OK, I'm going to walk it back. First lake drop, ever? Man, they must be eating a lot, because they're fat, though. Drop a bead. This is a key thing you've got to do here on the Fama Breeze. Come over here to this bead stack. Drop a bead. Boom. Look at that. Yeezys. Yeezys on the salmon boat. Like, put it on the leg. Oh, that's a way to do it. You need, like, a way to do it, boys. Do you need to be strapped in? Strapped in. Strapped in with a belt? Probably a coho. These are a coho or a small lake throw. It is a foul hook lake throw. Oh, booger. He's foul hook. He's hooked in the back. That's why he's running. How do you do that? Oh! Oh, man. Well, that's a good thing. That's a good effort. Good effort, though. Sandwich time. I think we got a coho. Oh, yeah. Nice. No lake throw. Yes! Another lake or two. I want to put that in my salad, maybe. Smoke it for a week or two. Put some black peppercorns on it. A little bit of hot sauce. Apparently, they don't taste good. OK. I'm hoping this isn't another lake throw. But it might be a key. It's coming up, so I think it is going to be a key. I could be completely wrong, though. I think it's a lake throw now. It's going to be a lake throw. The old sludge wagon trying to dangle it off. Oh, that's not even close to the lake one. We are in a wall right now. We need something to pick us up. So Dylan is going to, he's the first mate on this ship, on the Bama Breeze. He's going to do a little something to help us out. It's tradition. Let's do a lot. What do you call this technique? Pull the rinse off. Let's get you in the light, because I want to make sure we know how to do this for future endeavors. What in the, what, what in the, no. What the, what the? There was a technique there. You see that twist? What just happened? All right, we'll cut some fish now. Oh, my God, oh, my God. Big or coja, though. What? I don't know. God, what a savage. Anything to catch fish. Anything to catch fish. Put that on the t-shirt. Chaser? No chaser. Wow. Look at how wide it is on the back here. This is a Goliath lake truck. I don't know how big these things get. This is huge. Like the belly, I can see it from 100 yards out there. That's a hammer. Look at that hammer. That's impressive, dude. Look at how fat that is. Goodness. Show the belly a bit. I mean, that's just like a bowling ball in there. That's just bertha. That is bertha. That thing is cold. 160 feet of water. That's the biggest fish I've caught all year. That's not a fish. Wow. That's a hammer. Oh, it did. There's a lot of splash. No, it's a lake truck. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Hold it. Here we go. That's a key. No, lake truck. Anybody want to reel this guy in, Drew? I know Matt with jealousy in my stance. Oh, come take him. There you go, Drew. There we go. Drew to the rescue. We're catching sea monsters. That has to be. Oh, my gosh. Everyone didn't have the bowling ball in the belly that yours did. This. Beautiful fish. We'll call that the no more room in the joy. I think we're good. I think we've got enough meat here. We're good. Never seen a cooler that full. Last fish? This is the last fish. I mean, I don't think we need any more. We're getting this one, the coho. It's a great sandwich maker. It's a nice little coho, a little 12 incher just in the day here. First day ever out trolling, fresh water, filled an entire igloo, 120 quart. Come on, yeah. Perfect, perfect one to fit. Could ask for a better fish. That was not as aggressive on the plot as the other ones, but had a lot of fight, a lot of hard. Hell of a day. Last bead on board the Bama Breeze. Down. Hey, what are you doing out here? That's a wrap, folks. Through the awesomeness of airline travel, we have made it back here to the treehouse. And you know what I have got what to do with. I have a ton of salmon. Here's a king salmon slab right here, Gigantor. So we had the fried salmon, we had the coho, we had the steelhead, we had the king salmon, a little bit of it fried up. Honestly, I don't know. Either that place didn't do a great job. I think I could have fried it better myself. Golden crispy experience right here. But I think that grilling salmon is just a much better thing to do. And I have even some of those lake trout, which I've heard aren't that great, but we're going to give it a whirl anyway. I can't eat all this in one setting. So what we're going to do is we're going to put it in the vacuum sealer. Since this video is sponsored by GameSaver, I'm going to show you guys how I use the GameSaver. I use this thing all the time. Honey, you want to see what a king salmon looks like? Sure. Are you going to be like the guy at grocery store when I ask him like this? This is it. I'm your fish man right now, honey. All right. Can I have a pound of that king salmon? Exactly. First thing you got to do, put your FoodSaver game bag in the unit here and you close it, switch it to operate, and then you just want to seal. What that does is it just does like a heat shrink right there. That's what seals one side. Wah, bam. I cut that one. That's the longest one I've ever cut because this is a huge piece. Make sure you totally put the end in there where you have enough room. You want to leave like a few inches, like probably three or four inches. Close that, switch it to operate, then back and seal it. Suck all the air right out and seal it at the same time. A few seconds. This one does 40 consecutive ceilings without overheating. So that's more than I can handle on today and that's a ton of. Another one ready for the freezer. If y'all want to pick one of these up, this is the one I use, the FoodSaver Outdoorsman. 17% off right now on Amazon. Visit the link down below.

As you guys can see, that is a ridiculous amount of fish. OSG's already got it out. She's gonna be cooking out for supper tonight. Salmon is her favorite. And thanks to Gamesaver.
