The first time ever that a cook tried their own food on film and admitted that they didn't like it. Usually they're like "OMG, it is the greatest thing in the world.....super delicious". A huge thanks for your honesty!

I have bought Chum salmon and tried cooking different ways with different sauces and it was the worst tasting fish I've ever eaten. Alaskan natives refer to them as dog fish as that's what they feed their sled dogs.

I admire how you guys are up on all the complicated fishing regulations and follow them to help maintain the fisheries - and I'm learning so much about smoking salmon - especially the what not to do. Thanks.

The smoked eggs you have you can put in food processor with olive oil, garlic, oregano and soft inside of bread, blend all together and you have yourself an awesome bread spread!

To clean the eggs from the sack; 2 litres of water, 0.2 litre vinegar and eggsacks. Put water, vinegar and eggs in a large bowl,. Use a handmixer for 1-2 minutes and the sack will stick to the mixer. Rinse and pour clean water on the eggs, use the hand mixer. Repeat until the eggs are clean. Put them in a colander... Salt to taste. If you freeze the eggs don't salt before freezing. Perfect as a cold sauce together with sourcream, a touch of lemon, dill leaves (finely chopped) and, if you like it, grated or very finely chopped (red) onion. Perfect to grilled salmon.

🤔 eggs should not be smoked.

When i lived in washington state we would catch chum/dog salmon and most considered it trash fish. my wife made it into squaw candy. basically cut it up into rectangles or long strips if you prefer. marinate it in a mixture of soy and brown sugar and then toss it on a dehydrator and you got squaw candy. my daughters loved it and would go through 5 pounds of it a day as kids. there are many recipes and ways to make it, if you all are interested i would suggest giving it a try. it turns out great, and make a great snack/lunch when out hunting or fishing.

Thanks, a way to eat that fish. Chum had the worst taste for salmon I have ever had and I love fish.

Yes....very well said. I completely agree!!!

I absolutely love you guys. Love seeing all your adventures but I really love watching your homesteading videos. You both nailed the Alaska way of life. Can’t wait to see the next big project for you guys. Sending lots of love to you both all the way from VA.

When I commercial fished up there in the 70's we called Chum Salmon...Dog Salmon. I figured at the time it was because they had some gnarly teeth. Later I learned they were called "Dog" Salmon by the natives because they ran later in the season, and by then the natives had put up salmon for themselves and used the Chum run to put up food for the dogs. We also made good money on the Chums because they have abundant eggs. I went into one of the canneries we sold too, and the removed the skeins of eggs and packed them in multiple layers divided by layers of salt in small boxes and sent them to Japan where they brought big bucks.

Wow! Outstanding video. That chum was HUGE! You guys are getting so close to 200,000 subscribers - so happy for you! Amazing videography, drone footage, adventures, creativity, skills...thank you for sharing with us!

I applaud you fishing the right way - of course releasing hump snags is easy on camera but I suspect you do it off camera as well. This is the sort of food fishing I am totally in support of.

Love the Bigfoot sign.😆 The lake looks so soothing. ✨

If you don't like the fish, I'm pretty sure the cat is willing to help you out.

I loved the underwater shots! the cat says he will take those eggs. those are for him. the last 30 seconds of content is amazing!

Love the laid back cat at the end - it's having a wonderful day! Good to see Eric with the shoo bear once again. Stay well folks.

Just over here laughing at her saying "I paid $20 for you. You're mine!" I say that to my dog all the time. He still loves the hubs more... haha

Arielle could not wait to get those waders wet! 🐟🏃💨 This video brought back many exciting memories for the hubby. He enjoyed some of his childhood fishing in Alaska and swears by the Gamakatsu #8 Russian River fly hook with bucktail. Really awesome video, y'all.

I really like that you not only show catching, but cooking and give your honest opinion of your finished product. I really enjoy watching you both.

This is hilarious, the opening 'do it' segment is just so unexpected from you guys.

Great fishing ! The pinks are my favorite salmon. They are great pan fried. The smoked salmon looks absolutely delicious. Thanks for sharing.

Aww y’all fur baby is precious and thank you for sharing your smoked salmon experience 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Your kitty is so cute and he looked so relaxed! I love it!

Damn that Smoked Fish looked Incredible

Sat on my bead at 4:15 am (UK) watching, and my cat could hear the chickens through my headphones 😂😂 she's currently guarding the end of my bed ready to pounce! 😂😂😻😻🙊 love these vids! Xx :)

That cat is just too much!🤣🖤

Absolutely love the Super Troopers reference at the beginning. I was like are they really going to chug syrup before going fishing....LMAO!!! Love the stache Eric!!!

That big chum sure is a pretty fish. Your so blessed to have such abundance around you ❤️

it's been so much fun watching your videography/editing skills develop over time. Great video, as always! I cannot wait to see the quality of your content a year from now.

"You're my cat, I paid $20 for you." LOL! My niece says that when her cat (who she left with my Mom when she went away to college) hangs out on Mom's lap rather than her lap. Cats do not care about who owns them, because they know they own everyone and everything in the house themselves. :)
