Doesn't adding of salt reduce the freezing point to one lower than 32 degrees, which given the constant ambient temp cause the ice to melt more quickly? Like it would want to melt faster because its new melting point is now farther away than it was before salt was added.
Just a quick tip for your sashimi slices. If you want a nice clean firm slice of fish you take the fish and slice using the length of the knife take the heel of your knife and slice with little to no pressure using the length of the knife to cut for you. 😁
Chris Blevins Oh man... I hope so! On the other hand, I will definitely be making some trips down to La Jolla Shores in July and August. I have a brand new Stealth Fisha 555 kayak (made in South Africa) that’s all set up and ready to track down some yellowtail!🎣😃
Hi Chris, another awesome video full of great content on how to take care of the catch. Bleeding out, and putting on ice asap, are the most important. I use a Reliable Fish Kill bag like yours and carry 5 frozen water bottles in it, so it's ready to keep the temp down while on the water. I stop at the store after leaving the launch and add ice when I get a larger Yellowtail, to chill it more, for the drive home. Thanks forsharing.
What's your preferred method of bleeding YT? Any particular reason you didn't gill and gut the fish on the water? I typically do that with any fish I'm going to keep soon after catching them. I figure it helps cool them down more quickly and bleeds them at the same time. There's also less mess when you process the fish at home.
just found your channel through the vid on the elite7ti2 settings. thanks for that! checked out your other videos,subscribed. i got the same ff unit,i fish for the same fish (yellowtail)~just in another part of the world. have you ever tried slow pitch jigging? it works out very good for me,even from the kayak
Next time we are in San Diego we would love to come to dinner. Dying to meet August and eat fish. You are borh amazing fisherman. Love you all too much! Aunt Patti and Uncle Mark
Loved watching this: Knowledge, skill, artistry. You've been doing this since you were a toddler, right? I shall be handling my catch using what I've learned here from now on. And, what time is dinner?
Wow- what a great vid! That’s a FULL day or three to fish and eat this nice fish. That’s dedication! Q: sometimes I see the fish laying in your yak or in the water to go into shore- and other times people have a big ice bag with fish in it- how long can a fish be kept before icing down? I have a passport 12 and don’t have the room for the ice/bag Great vid- thanks 😊
Hi Jon thanks for watching. There are many factors to answer this. I will typically just leave my fish “on deck” up to 4-6 hours. Keeping in mind I always bleed them out right away, and I cover them up with a sweater or something and keep them wet by continuing to splash water on them. If I know it’s gonna be really hot or it’s going to be a long day in the sun I will bring my Reliable kill bag with 20 pounds of ice. Also if you can fully gut and gill them on the water after bleeding them out. Here’s a link for the kayak kill bag: amzn.to/3UFjMRT
@@chrisblevinsfishing Sorry for the delay- just saw your reply, Chris! Great info- thank you :) Q: is it safe/ok to leave fish in the water on your wire rig- or will dogs/sharks be a problem? Also...there's a channel called AFFORDABLE WAHOO that I think you'd enjoy. He's in Hawaii; has a Hobie Revolution 13 and is hard core like you! (he also said he really wants to fish LJ....so maybe you could work out a trade...you show him LJ and he hooks you up in HI. Look forward to meeting you sometime this season at the Shore- I'm doing it!).
Awesome video! I have a SunDolphin Aruba 10 kayak, it's not the biggest or best kayak but it's what I have. Do you think something like that would be ok to take out in the ocean?
Hey Chris, debating on a 7” or 9” fish finder. How do you like your 7 and would you consider getting a 9? Just traded in my 2015 PA14 for a 2020 PA14 360.
@@chrisblevinsfishing That would be my answer, hire a guide! Not cheap but the easiest way. Or put in the time on the water. If you learned all the right thing while doing it, in 6-8 month you'll land one. Before landing the first one, you might hook up and loose several. Then there are those who were soooooo ... LUCKY and caught one on their first trip. Of course those are the kayak fisherman who will provably sell their kayak at the end of the season, because after that first trips luck, it was ALL DOWNHILL. It happens! There are guys I've fished with that still haven't gotten a Yellowtail and have been fishing La Jolla for 6 year, although I'm sure they don't go once a week.
@@chrisblevinsfishing You're fairly safe with saltwater fish in eating it raw. Most of the parasites you can get from raw fish come from freshwater species. Saltwater fish have different parasites that don't prey on humans.
Chris Blevins thanks for the detailed reply! I just did the brining with a keep halibut I caught and it was delicious. Keep up the great videos. See ya out there

Yes but it also draws the water out too mon seen !

What a great informative video! The problem is now that I’ve watched it... I’m starving! I’m already looking forward to the next video!🎣😃

Once again Chris, quality content...keep it up! Also, I don’t know what it takes to get affiliate links, but I would buy on your recommendations.
your videos are packed with great information! Well done!

Loved enjoyed and learned from this video!!!! Great content and thank you
That was a good video. Thanks. I notice that the fish and cook videos are popular.
Ok fine! I'm working up the courage to go out this weekend. Hopefully I can convince my buddies to come too.
Was going to go Sunday
Your videos are awesome 👏 keep’em coming ! 🙏

Wow that was a monster dude, subbed! Looking forward to see more videos bro!
Great job cleaning that monster. I might show up at your doorstep with my chopsticks after watching this video.

Makes me want to have a SASHIMI party!

That's a monster. Not bad for a by-catch!
Eyy no way, that’s me in the back with the blue scout when you’re on the beach😆
Best Of Magnet Fishing right on dude, just subbed up to your channel!
Awesome video Chris! When are we going to fish together? Lol
Need some pointers bud
How do you know when a fish is sashimi grade and if there are parasites when eating it raw straight from the ocean?
How do you cook/eat belly and collar? Great tips, thanks!
@@chrisblevinsfishing Thanks, good info about the about the rib rack, didn't even think of that. Great content on your videos!
Oh, one more thing. Do you always use a trailer hook?
@@chrisblevinsfishing got it, that's right this was the bycatch....bummer hahaha
Chris, what’s the best place to launch my boat to fish La Jolla Kelp Forrest? Any 411 would be appreciated, it’ll be my first in that area.
Yellowtail is my favorite for sushi.
Feel free to throw an invite the next time you have sashimi, looks good! 😜
What is the easiest way to catch yellowtail at La Jolla?

Chris Blevins thanks!!! Love the vids
my girlfriend definitely liked this video
yum
Does the brining process make the fish technically “sushi grade?” Did you eat that halibut raw?
