I've been wishing, hoping for some hooligan for years since I can't fish anymore and some boys brought some to church to share. So it's now a little after 3am and I just got done gutting a whole lot of fish, got a whole freezer full now. What a blessing! I at first wished they were gutted, but then I remembered that saying, "God feeds every bird but he doesn't throw the worms into the nest". So I was very happy to spend the time preparing this bounty for my freezer. Alaska is really great.
they are also awesome smoked too, when I was little mom would buy them smoked at the super market until for some dumb reason they stopped that...made mom sad in a way she likes her smelt & I want to send her down some too!
smelts are great, but they must be flash frozen or they can be oily. same when you cook em, they can only be partially thawed. ive never seen smelts so thick as in this vid...wow
Nothing tastier than a hooligan rolled in four, a little salt, a dash of garlic. Meanwhile a cast iron pan with a inch of vegetable oil, medium hot. Yum, cook to crispy!
you guys can enjoy it in alaska because it's plentitful up there. down the lower 48, they sold it down here, which will cost you an arm and a leg, which is ridiculous for a fish that have no commercial values other than for curiosity and novelty.
Loved doing this in the ocean in nome ak. Would put up 200 lbs until the next year. The dog mushers would get several ton for their dogs were no fish buyers there or we could of been rich. I did commercial fishing for herring and salmon for many years
hey guys...nice vid..saw an ADN story about this stuff..how much was your total haul of hooligan for the season on the susitna?? just the 4k lbs? or more?
man i would love to get a couple hundred lbs of this good stuff and more ooligan grease. shit is the bomb fried up and also smoked, i can sit down and eat least 40 of them and want more and more.
Lol,i was getting ready for some crazed youth with 50Lb line a a set of massive treble hooks trying to foul hook some fish whilst swearing uncontrollably,you know like a hooligan.
I remember back in the 60's our father used to always take us to Lake Michigan to catch perch and smelt. And the numbers were great, mewolf1 is right, it used to be that easy. I got many a fine meal out of that lake, a lot of good memories fishing it. I'm sad to hear if it's been overfished or polluted, or whatever the cause. I love that lake, I'm sad to hear if it's lacking these days.
Maybe the worst tasting fish I've ever eaten. You eat everything but the head and tails. Oiliest things in the ocean. When they're dry you can light them with a match...no lie. They're gross, no matter how you smoke them, fry them, boil them, whatever. I have no idea why people catch them.
YO, aint seen nuffin like it here, even the Elver run's are poor, ( elver's, for those that do not know are baby ell's, a delicacy in English cuisine ) ok any thing you can eat,, just do it. Food is Food... Use em for bait, Damn, can feed my family on em, God will provide, all.. Stay safe peaps.. look to the world and the word, for is it not written, they will not win....
I bet you use them or ride a train or bus or airplane at times so don't be so obtuse....you got my point.you are just as much a killer as these guys are even if you are a strict vegetarian .The machines you use by proxy to harvest grains or vegetables you eat kill small rodents and birds.....the trucks that deliver them to market leaves dead deer by the roadside on occasion......and if you want to look at very small life the simple act of brushing your teeth or cleaning you toilet kills millions of single cell bacteria that were simply minding their own business and living the same life that you think the poor fish deserve and you poison them with chemical warfare for your convenience!! And that young lady is why I can call you a hypocrite who can't rub all four synaptic gaps together to create enough warmth for sympathy for your cause.
The main difference between me and those men in the video is, that I don't kill any animals intentionally. I don't catch them and I don't let them suffocate to death....
Lots of unnecessary pain and suffering of the feeling animals in that fishing. There should be some solutions how to handle large amount of fish that way which minimize the pain and the suffering of the fish. Like they do in Norway and there has been development in the United Kingdom also.
Idiot lower 48 man, they come to the rivers by the millions each year, we should be worrying more about Salmon species if anything else right now if u wanna be liberal
My dad used to go to Lake Michigan in the spring to catch them for the local rod and gun club. Smelt frys in Wisconsin are a big deal.

where do you live in Alaska? I might be able to help, or know someone who would get you some fish.
That's not fishing!, that's catching! Awesome!
Yum, I loved hooligan when I lived in Alaska. I know this is bait grade, but you can dip net them near Anchorage and they are delicious.

Now that's what I call fishing!!!
Biiuuhh..penak e golek iwak iwak..👌👍🤩🙋♀️

I love the scales that the hooligan has
I haven't seen that many fish in one boat since I was 19 doing commercial salmon fishing.
this is pretty amazing my fam and i spend hours trying to fill just a 5 gallon bucket.
that engine sounds like it has a full race cam
wow the smelt in Duluth are much smaller.....Little bones that you can just fry up without gutting it too....yummmm
Bring a few hundred thousand live ones down to the Umpqua river in oregon. None left here i loved it when i was a kid
nice vid an good its sustainable. all the best
smelts are great, but they must be flash frozen or they can be oily. same when you cook em, they can only be partially thawed. ive never seen smelts so thick as in this vid...wow
river must be filled with them..nice

a toenail with salt and garlic .fried in an inch of oil would be tasty
@@halld3460 I still prefer fish.
we have that too here in canada

What are they. Eaten like sardines??
I can't imagine it. .!!! how I can believe. .!!!??? Can you imagine how much fish are here. .I think fish are more than water! !!
You harvesting those commercially?
How much did you get per pound?
What size boat is it that can hold 4000 lbs of fish and gear plus people? I need one like that, just bare hull.
he means oolichan (or eulachon), right?
We caught them like this in the Great Lakes in the 70's and 80's they are all but gone now !
so sad but very true......its called GREED! HUMANS ARE FUCKIN GREEDY!
Craven Morehead Great Lakes are a closed ecosystem!
I know this was a long time ago, but do you still commercially fish for them?
hey guys...nice vid..saw an ADN story about this stuff..how much was your total haul of hooligan for the season on the susitna?? just the 4k lbs? or more?
Quota at the time was 200,000 lbs. I think we delivered scout 150,000 lbs that year.
Are those fish good to eat or not?
Yum, what a bunch of good eating. I smoke and can a bunch every year.
What the? I can't fathom that the net just dipped into the water and voila! Fish. I'm just amazed.....I........I......whaaaaa? No bait either......
I was expecting this video to be of a hooligan going fishing
Awesome!!
@niekas in california its only about $1.99
WHOA ! THAT'S A LOT !
woouuw this river sit full fishes
Love to be there.
the school is so large they are simply dipping the net into them.
صيد سهل وعجيب وينه هالمكان
heard of a cast net?????
hooligan good eatin?
Do you sell them as bait out of state?
Some for bait, some at food grade for human consumption.
I usually eat them whole after frying them but noticed that some have a tiny pebble either in their head or mouth. Anyone else notice that?
man i would love to get a couple hundred lbs of this good stuff and more ooligan grease. shit is the bomb fried up and also smoked, i can sit down and eat least 40 of them and want more and more.
Hooligan ? By chance those are called “ SMELT “ fish ?
Yes! Called Smelt, Hooligan or Candlefish.
ฉัน.ผึ้งเข้ามาดู8ะติดตามนะค่ะ
what fish specis are thosr
These are smelt, also called Hooligan or Candlefish.
some ppl would have a net across the river and sell em all
cant u just use a cast net or something?? u might catch more.
omg treat me there to fish pls!!
Geees if the fish were to leave the river there would only be a trikle of water...wow
wtf is there no limit??
There is a 200,000 lb commercial fishing quota.
you can eat the heads, tail, and all bones,tail. the best
take em all boys, until there all gone
Lol,i was getting ready for some crazed youth with 50Lb line a a set of massive treble hooks trying to foul hook some fish whilst swearing uncontrollably,you know like a hooligan.
Damn hooligans!?
One more dude , -- at the end of the clip
OMG. So easy.

With the addition of the "Kings", the balance is off. Eating machines, among other issues.
Well, that's sad, rather liked the perch.
Re-read you post. I meant Superior has the 'Kings", don't know about the issues in Michigan. Everything changes.
The day will come when the fish don't....
