I’m glad Taku didn’t edit out how difficult it actually is to fish! Patience is key and at the end of it all he got what he wanted! Great work
Mili Diaz that's the beauty of fishing
The main issue is that he's really was not very good at fishing for kings in this video. He doesn't know how to find fish and thought the issue was his line being visible. That's not it. Chinook aren't line shy. He's one of the guys who goes out to a spot where people have caught fish and just trolls all day hoping to get lucky. He's also really handicapped by the fact he is on a kayak with a mini downrigger. I limit my boat most every trip for chinook. You have to know where to find them and be able to put a bait in front of them. Chinook often hug bottom because the bait stays near structure, but he can't even get there with his equipment.
40 minutes and I'm here for all of it. You help me forget my worries for a little while Taku. Thank you and godspeed.
You comment right during upload and say you finished already? Cap.
@@elijahmedrano9217 Who said he finished?
AGREED!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@elijahmedrano9217 Commented right when I started watching. Those whales though.
Life Hack: Watch videos at 2x speed so you can save half of your time
He never gets discouraged he stays positive and just look at the results! So Awesome can't wait to see the next video!
Yes! My kids notice that!!!
Other people: Hey, I got you some flowers today! Taku: Hey Jocelyn, I caught you a salmon!
I’d rather have the salmon
@@muskratbyte saaame!
Someone’s getting some nookie!
27:24 The feeling when you land your first salmon... literally one of the most exciting moments especially if you land a King that big! Congrats Taku!! And that dish looked 🔥
I think we were all cheering when you finally landed that salmon. The fact that Jocelyn loves salmon and you didn't want to let her down was super sweet. Looking forward to the sushi ep!
This video had me banging my chest like an intense football game, I was screaming in my room “THIS IS YOUR MOMENT, CATCH THAT DAMN SALMON” props man. You got a new subscriber for sure.
As soon as Taku starts his snack, I knew it was FISH ON !! 🙀👍👍
15 years ago, i was one of the rnd engineers responsible for designing the Shimano Tekota 300, 301, Shimano TLD etc.. fun time being a designer of what you love. I hope they still continue to produce it here in Malaysia.
man, i've been binge watching through your videos, seriously love them, I release about 95% of what I catch but i am definitely feeling inspired to start keeping some more fish and seeing what i can do. Keep up the awesome stuff.
Wow. You definitely earned that fish. Five days of grinding to get that one fish. Thats pure will and determination. That video got me pumped up.
After putting in so much time and effort, and to finally catch that beauty, you just know it's going to be honored, and treated with the utmost respect in terms of prepping, preserving, cooking, and enjoying the taste. Too many times, with the big commercial boats, you see the fish treated like cheap slabs of meat. I love that rice tea recipe!
love the instinct over tech! I'm the same way. Only way to build that instinct is to go fishing, and two generations of my family fishing in same river before me and all those tips helps too! I like to say I don't go fishing, I go catching! =)
Another amazing video - thank you for making these!! Wow where to begin - the persistence, the scenery, THE WHALES, the epic struggle...and then a beautiful meal. Instinct over technology!!! 🤣
5 days, 1 salmon. I say that was a successful trip. Definitely worth it! Well done. 👍
I like the fact you get your own fish to make sushi/sashimi. Fresh out the sea. Inspiration man✊🏾
He brought upon us 40 minutes of quality content. God bless this man
Great video, dude!
Thanks, man!
Bobby Duke Arts hi 👋
Hi bob
I LOVE that you gave praise to the salmon Gods. Proper respect
Your face of reward after all that work of days was priceless, great video my man your Chanel is top notch
That was an epic catch Taku! My heart was pounding up until you finally landed the beaut! Congratulations! Now go on and do it again! LOL
Bro that was intense catch, I was cheering when you finally netted that salmon hahaha 😂 great job bro congrats on your first Salmon.
Me too Jun!!! Awesome!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks, Jun! Not everybody gets it done on the first try like you!!LOL
@@OutdoorChefLife damn. where are you fishing, location...? look scool
OMG!!What a beautiful the Whales show was. Also many Kudos to all of you guys who stick around with them.
Lez freaking go!!!!! Finally caught the salmon and the the 40 minute video was just a bonus! Congratulations man!
"Instinct over technology, baby!" Yeoooo.. plz make this into a shirt or something!!?! Por favor😁
Do I have to go no fishfinder every time now?
Outdoor Chef Life 😂no bro ❤️
@@OutdoorChefLife I used it to find the structure and turned it off later. Maybe find the bait ball and then shut it off?
The 6 dislikes are the people that are mad they haven’t caught one
Buncha NERDS! LOL
I haven't caught one but I could never dislike a Taku video.
now 88 people have got mad for not being able to catch one. doesn't seem like it's easy to catch a salmon...
Maybe it has to do with the 30 minutes of him just out in the water doing nothing 🤔
My favorite time of the year. Salmon run!!! Catching the limit per the day. Arms tired from the fights. Doesn't get better than that.
dude i grinned ear to ear for you the whole time you fought that fish. can't imagine landing one on a kayak like that amazing job! you earned that fish
I love to see all the effort that went into catching the fish. I have watched many thousands of catch clean and cooks and people rarely show all the effort it really takes to catch a fish. This video was one that had me on the edge of my seat and I have to say awesome job.
Might not remember me, especially since you blew up in popularity, but I've been watching since the OG catch and sushi! If possible you should try catching with a heart beat montior so we can see the moment you know there's a fish on the line. Especially when you were eating lol. Anyways love your stuff!
Kings don’t feed when they are heading into the river but they bite out of reaction since that’s what they have done their whole life
Angry or hungry are the only reason a fish will bite.
Why do they swallow roe when used in the rivers?
Dmitry V it’s a territorial thing
Dmitry V salmon bite roe and lures in rivers when spawning our of sheer habit and aggression. Biting roe in particular is an attempt to get rid of the competition.
I believe Ocean salmon are feeding, most I catch there is lots of food in their stomach. River salmon fishing is completely different as you say It's only aggression.
I find your videos therapeutic, calming and nice and I like listening to your voice and the way you and Jocelyn laugh alot it's so cool 😊
An epic day that you'll never forget. Great stuff.
"Instincts over technology baby!" 👍👍
I went around 35 times for king salmon this year so far and only caught 8. I usually don't go this much but because of covid, me and my dad have more time to fish!
this was better than a blockbuster movie! I have never appreciated the ability to buy salmon until this video.
Nothing better from yourself catch, this is the blessing from God and natural, keep it up all the fun and works.
We need that fisherman’s life collab
Was thinking the same man haha
well , here it is my friend. kzhead.info/sun/pK9ses6ri56HhI0/bejne.html
You are an excellent fisherman, congratulations your fishing was incredible, this place has beautiful fish. Stay with God always!👍🎣🐟😊
40 minutes of pure adventure. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Congrats on the Chinook!
Dude that’s a fish,I think you got rewarded for all your patience 😊☮️
Taku: "Every day is leg day until I catch a salmon!!!!"
That white tee "Outdoor Chef Life" is FIRE
Congratulations on catching the King Salmon Fish, such a beautiful CATCH!!!
Hell ya, bro! Perseverance really paid off. You stuck to it, and not only hooked up, but scored one hell of a fish! That's how!!!
TAKUUUU TUESDAY🔥🔥🔥
I caught a 22 pound king yesterday in Washington and it was a hatrey so we could keep it
Was that in the puget?
Where ya fishing?? Ive hit the Carbon river afew times but no luck yet. Thinking the salmon haven't started heading in yet ?
KINGPIN MO in was in the sand Juan’s in the saltwater but the skaget river or nooksack river
Oliver Tesluk yea
That salmon hookup was like a car crash thump! Congrats on landing that beauty.
Man I hope you can make this KZhead a full time job. You deserve alll the success! Day one fan!
If I was u and I saw whales that close Id have a heart attack
Those whales are fucking massive so sketchy
No one asked
I had one pop up about 5ft from the front of my 19ft boat and I thought it was going to sink my boat.
His face though when he says"I'm on I'm the on baby"
Hell yeah baby! You deserved that 100% the grind was real lol. I was as nervous as you looking at my screen hoping the thing wouldn’t come off. Good job Taku you’re the man!
Takuuuuuu brother congrats on the catch. I know you been putting in work for that catch 👍🤟🙌
I knew it was coming when he brought out the banana chips lmao
Same here hahahaha!!!
"He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish."......Earnest Hemmingway
My favorite book growing up.
Who doesn't love Earnest Hemingway's "The old man and the sea"? You fit it right in the situation. Thank you for bringing back a wonderful literature American seems lost it for many years.
This is REAL entertainment. Beautiful fish! Great job!
Bro... Its Absolutely AMAZING seeing the whales active like this!!!! Thank you!!!! #Salute
The guys telling him to “net the salmon already”... like, y’all jealous or something? My man’s alone on a kayak and has to solo net it while holding his rod in the other hand.
Backseat fishing for sure
Yeah and I remember my first solo net job. My heart was pounding out of my chest. When I finally got it I was shaking like a leaf on a tree! Good job Taku!!
What a bitch
Couldn’t imagine paddling for 6 hours + a day just to get a fish I wouldn’t be able to walk that kayak back up the shore
Letting that salmon cure for perfect sushi 👌🏽
As a cook and fisherman this is possibly the best video I’ve seen.
#TAKUTUESDAY
lol anyone who salmon fishes knows how nerve racking it is to net them especially with a barbless hook.
Dude, Taku. This episode was better than all of season 8 GoT. I was so hype and yelling at my screen cheering you on haha
Man....I just discovered this channel at its already almost 3AM. Really relaxing and enjoyable content. Cheers!
3:10 lol this fish is from 3030, or swims like a seal 4:05 wondering how water doesn't flood your kayak where the flippers go out of it 5:25 you guys aren't using sonar/fish finders or something? (yeah you guys are 18:00) lol instinct over technology "where's the fish" 10:37 get that workout in ha 11:18 pretty nice, looks like a storm rolling in ha 12:38 that's an underwater Air BNB if you ask me 14:13 lol day gots scientists making drones capturing that sweet sweet whale musk 19:46 yeah snack surprise time 23:40 yeet Salmon fuck outta here boi 26:06 oh shit looking good 27:24 oh shit moment of capture 27:58 damn that things big 28:40 big boi 29:12 nice external shot 32:04 scaly boi 35:16 damn look at that shot that open water mmm 37:44 damn that looks good
405 if it gets a puncture in it it will take on water and sink.
Not gonna lie, I skip to the cooking
I do believe this is my favorite fishing video of year so far... way to work my friend
Hard work = success! Congrats my friend. The ocean gods were looking down on you.
Congrats Taku San,Instinct over Technology! Love your resolve and determination.
F yeah ! That was super exciting and glad all that hard work paid off. Love that startle on your face when he first hit. Id have sweaty palms for sure!
This is your best video yet bud. And ive literally seen all of ur vids. Congratss
Just found your channel and I love the idea of a real sushi chef catching fish and real wild ingredients by hand. Really cool stuff keep it up!
great videos man! Congrats an thanks for taking us out with you
Awesome catch great job. I love that you show your skunk days it makes me and probably others almost feel the same joy as when u catch, it almost puts me there with you sharing the catch.... great job...
Oh man...well deserved! Congrats on your first chrome on the yak! It’s a grind, but boy is it rewarding. First of many I’m sure. Tight lines! 👊
I haven't been salmon fishing in 7 years and this video got my heart pumping so fast. Absolutely loved it. Thank you!
I don't know anything about fishing but I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Keep up the amazing content, I'm loving every minute of your vids!
This is the best catch and cook of all time, ALL TIME!
Lol @ 19:48 Wow... what an adventure. Thanks for sharing!
One of my favorite videos so far. Congrats Taku!
I was so proud of the catch like I did it! That soup looks amazing! Great job bro!
stoked!!!!!!!!!! gamabate!!!!! beer time ..well deserved!!!
Well done Taku, hard work paid off!! 😍
A suggestion, filet with skin on. Grill, skin side down. Brush with real butter , garlic and lemon pepper. 10-12 minutes with top down on grill. Cover with Parmesan cheese. 5 more minutes, until fish separates from skin. Spatula up, serve with garlic bread and Caesar salad......Yummie!
I didn’t know there is California King Salmon. Kashi is rockin it with this channel. The combination of fishing, foraging and travel with a real chef is golden. Congratulations and the best of luck!
Nice sound setup/editing in the last bit. Super clear and no wind. Cheers!
Super exciting with those Whales, so cool
Seesh 🔥🔥🔥 I felt that intensity and the happiness afterwards 💖💖💖
Your tenacity has paid off for you! I am thrilled you caught that Salmon!! Wonderful! Bet you enjoyed eating him too!😃❤️👀
well deserved brother! Give thanks to the Beast and eat well!
Youre such a good fisherman and even a better cook that's what's makes your videos so awesome

All the whale action was so frickin awesome! Taku’s determination is so inspiring. Catch more salmon for Jocelyn!
