Few tips… keep rod low… and just walk back. Don’t want that weight coming at you and the fish will fight way harder
🤙🏼
Thanks for the tips
The technique you're using for salmon is basically the same thing we do for our walleye run in northwest Ohio, pretty cool to see the same thing being done for salmon! Pumped for the Alaska vids!
That’s cool
I'm definitely excited for this series 😁
Me too
If my mood is down or blah.... I can always count on Minndak to lift my spirits. Not every TH-cam channel has that gift. I love these guys! I know they work hard but I greatly appreciate them. I think they should collaborate with Samoung Outdoors! Not because he's Asian so I dont want to hear nothing about that, its because his vibe is similar and I think they would be magic together. Samoung has one of the most underrated channels on TH-cam. He explains everything in depth and is awesome. His CCC are awesome too! He has great recipes.
Thank you Kevin!
Bro I was cracking up when you were like “it’s not snagg..well basically.. yeah it’s snagging” 😂😂
Snagging the fish
@@chenwang9179 I know that I’m laughing cause right before when he said you have to floss then I was like that’s snagging and then he said that
Father-Son’s Outdoor Greatness… Yes Please 👊🏼😎🤙🏼! This series is gonna be frickn DOPE!
Great video! You paint a great picture of what happens on the Kenai near Soldotna. Caught a bunch when we were up there the first half of August. Crazy good run this year! Thanks for putting this together!
Next time you do the salmon you should do my recipe you sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over the filet then 3 tablespoons of puTter on top. If you want put lemon and a little salt then cook it the same way. Trust me it slaps harder than Mrs. Lehman
😂😂😂
fished here like 4 years ago and slammed sockeyes for over a week, caught halibut and even offered to work on the charter lol but ya alaska is an amazing place, fishing the lakes is so different but so amazing at the same time.
I spent an entire summer cleaning salmon on the Alsek River after high school. So on saturday afternoons and sundays I walked to the East Alsek River and stayed in our fish buyers cabin.
I think I caught maybe ten salmon but caught dollies like crazy and bottom fish like sculpin if my lure went down to the bottom.
The fishetman laughed at me fishing with a pole because they used nets.
That was the last 16 hour a day job I had.
Right now the last run of salmon silvers is going on there.
Welcome to my town man, glad you had good time😂🤣
Watching you and our local youtuber nuttynu fishing the Kenai is nice. And then watching Taku and xoverland doing their things in Alaska too..🤙I'm loving it.
Thats awesome !!!! If you get cold you can wee in your waders
Little tip if you snag a fish and he’s flying down stream hold your pole down straight at the fish and hold ur drag. Usually snaps em off. Good video.
Now this is content boys! Hell ya!
Aye
MinnDak you should see if you can meet the simple Living Alaskans!!! That would totally be really cool if you two could do a video together!! Don’t no if you have ever watched them before but I love watching them and all the different things they do!! I’m pretty sure you are pretty close to them because I no they just did a video on catching salmon and if I do remember correctly it is the same river that you two were fishing!! They are a great couple!!! I definitely think it would be cool if you guys could hook up there together!! Awesome video buddy!! Let me no what you find out????
Yes check out their channel they can show you how and where they slay some huge salmon and lots of other species if yall have the time and are able to get in touch with them. I hope they would be receptive to this. th-cam.com/channels/3FHvW16m_i117IqPnb0nmA.html
Gonna be a great series can tell already
Looks like tough fishing. Sick video though!!
So much fun! Your boy smashed that guys net pretty good 😂
Is that your signature move, recording you stomping your feet? Always great videos, keep up the great work.
Love the video. Good to see you guys having a great time with your dad.
Awesome video guys. Love catch and cook.
Alaska home sweet home !
Great job on all the reds!!! A little advise, on the lower kenai there isn't a hook sizer restriction like the upper kenai so when I fish the lower kenai where you guys went I use a size 2/0 or 3/0 owner octopus hook with a little bit of yarn. They stay on the hook alot better with the bigger hooks. Also check out ship creek in anchorage. The silvers are running really good.
Thanks for the advice! In a couple videos from now we actually switch to this technique
I live in soldotna, limit is 6 now. Never use a coho fly, they are made for the Russian river and make to lose more fish. Use a normal hook with just a bead above it or a little yarn on ur hook, reds don’t particularly bite but we troll for them in skilak lake. Good bud. When you come back let’s meet up!
I live in Anchor point
@@deckhandcody hell yea, I’ll be down there in October for steelhead.
Alaska has the best fishing. I’ll take salmon fishing over bass fishing any day!
I would love to try bass fishing one day
I’ve been it is definitely awesome. But still salmon are way more fun
@@Chuakiagx3 bass are overhyped. I personally like going after trout, walleye etc more then bass.
Anyone notice at 15:17 Sam and that guy were in sync 😂
After cooking salmon, you should try removing the skin and frying it. After I smoke huge fillets, I fry the skin and its by far the best part and everyone's favorite.
Love the change up in videos. Alaska is amazing
Doooooopppeeeee Video guys!!! 🔥🔥🔥 can't believe you guys are in Alaska that's so sick!!
✊✊✊
Ayeee been waiting for this Alaskan series!
Best video I’ve seen in a while
Got to go stay at a lodge near lake iliamna and fish the Bristol bay region this summer. Guides said it was the worst the fishing has been in years and it was still easily the trip of a lifetime. Alaska is just unreal
🎣💯🔥
Catch you next time!
We drift with same type of setup but we just don't randomly hook set or hope for a snag....you can actually feel the difference on the line when you hook up
Are you still there!? If you are, you NEED to go to Moose's Tooth in Anchorage!!! Gods I miss Alaska in the summer time.
Was just there in Soldotna 3 weeks ago salmon fishing on the Kenai. Absolutely amazing 👏
Was in Soldatna last year in July. Fished the same river and caught my 3. Flossing was interesting but we used bare hooks. Also went to Homer for Kings and halibut. No way you can’t catch a limit in Alaska. Enjoy!
Add some Mayo and some French onion seasoning and some lemon and wrap it up and throw it in the grill.. trust
Excellent! Thank you
I’m headed there Tuesday! Can’t wait!
17:12 me and my cousins did this to a fish and it’s head exploded and blood flew everywhere. We thought it was an invasive fish but it wasn’t. It’s looks the same as the invasive fish though so we didn’t know until we got back home. May that fish rest in peace
I love the video, you guys are the real deal. Looks so awesome.
great video boys
Gotta be a great experience with pops
I miss fishing salmon! You can’t underestimate these salmon!! They can run!!
Insane video bud love the Alaska content 🤘🤘
😜
This is a great video! 🏕 Make sure you get your dad in there catching some fish.
👌🏻
WHAT A RUSH LOVE FISH TO WATCH WHEN THEY BRACK WATER I DID FLY FISHING BACK IN MY YOUNG DAYS MISS IT👍🐟
Excellent videos guys…I bet the Grizzlies weren’t to far away
Thanks!
Really enjoyed this vid....thanks so much..!!!
Looks like so much fun. Definitely on the bucket list to do. Love the videos keep it up
It’s awesome
Holy cow your channel blew up. Hats off to your brotha. Keep grinding.
Sweet action! Love to see it
Your fly you had on is what we use for Atlantic salmon in the UK I'm wondering if the hooks wer coloured black like ours
I was literally watching the last Alaska series again like a day ago and was like I wonder the the minndak boys are going to Alaska soon
Heheh we back
@@MinnDakOutdoors let’s go boys keep up the grind and good work on the vids
your fishing trip looks so inviting 🎣🎣🎣
For anyone watching; nets are important tackle because you cannot legally remove foul-hooked fish from the water. AK Game and Fish can hook you with a fine if they catch you.
The Kenai was fire this year
that rock was a bit overkill on that last fish 🤣🤣🤣
Hey boys that's a freaking cool adventure y'all get to experience with your old man. Cherish every minute. Love your videos, long time sub, big fan! Excited for the videos to come!
Thank you!
Awesome stuff dude's 👍👍
Welcome to Alaska haha I live in anchorage and it’ll be soo cool to see y’all. Salmon fishing been really good
As an Alaskan, I called “flossing” “flipping” and I used a spinner rod and caught pinks and silvers on Willow Creek
Great video! I'm jealous!!
Lets go, just looking at some salmon fishing!
Come try fishing for our salmon we have there pretty much the same technique of fishing but fish are bigger and puts up a good fight
I live in Anchorage, and have fished around Alaska, and I can confidently say fishing around/in resurrection bay is some of the most gorgeous fishing around.
Agreed!
@@MinnDakOutdoors what bait/lure do u use?
MET you last year at the processing plant Enjoyed your videos
MinnDak you don’t use foil to cook your salmon!!! You just use a piece of brown paper bag like the grocery stores put your groceries in!! Just take your fillet and lay it on the paper bag and cut out around the fillet about a 1/4” or less from the fillet!! Then take the fillet off and coat the paper bag with a thin layer of butter or oil then season your fish they way you want and put back on the paper bag and throw on the grill or fire or anything that is hot!!! This is my favorite way to cook salmon or any fish over a camp fire!! Try it and do it in a video and I promise you that you won’t be pissed that you did!! Plus there is thousands and thousands of people out there that don’t even no this trick!! Every one would think oh the paper bag will just catch on fire!! Well it doesn’t as long as you have the fire not to hot but the fish traps out any air in between the fish and the paper bag witch won’t give it all the elements that is needed to burn the paper bag!! I learned this from an old timer about 10 13 years ago and I didn’t believe him at first but we both loved to fish and eat fish so one day when we were out crappies fishing I was getting hungry and was wanting to go!! As my old timer buddy starts messing around and is kinda fishing but seems to be getting stuff out of his truck I thought he was packing up but then I asked him what are you doing?? He said you are hungry you said didn’t you and we’ll I’m starting to get hungry my self so I thought I’d fix us up some crappies he said!!! I was like you have everything with you?? He was like all I need is a fire, paper bag, fish fillet, and maybe a little salt and pepper!! I was like what I’ve got to see this!! And that was how I found out!! He said he had learned from some Alaskans when he had went to Alaska years and years ago and he had used that method time after time when he would be out camping!! You don’t have to have the butter or oil if you don’t have any but it can help!! If you don’t have just lay the fillet on the paper bag for a bit on both sides of the paper bag before seasoning the fish!! Well sorry so long but to pass on something that I learned from a very good old friend that passed away about 5 years ago!! I do it in remembering him and passing on the noledge I guess!! Awesome video buddy!! Hopefully you will give it a try for a good old friend of mine!!!
👌🏻
Nice catch and cook!
Let's go boys! Super jealous thats my dream trip ol son!!
See the lady behind you cutting the belly’s off her fish? The best eating on earth
That’s what I hear!
so cool!
Alright, this just made me hyped. Im going to make a run this weekend. 59k just came through and limit is 6 🤙🏼
WITH YOUR LUCK NEVER TURN DOWN A NET ,PRO TIP OF THE WEEK
Love the salmon fishing please go back to Alaska
I will no doubt
I’ve been pumped about this video since I saw the clips on Instagram!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Do a collab with outdoor chef life. They are in Alaska right now, with over 500k subscribers. This video is 🔥🔥🔥🌄🐟🐟🐟🏞👍👍
Can't wait for the other videos to come, Alaska is awesome.
Love it
Awesome! I camp this place every year! Love fishing here.
what campground is this?
Johnny boy loves powder coffee creamer
😂😂😂😂😂
Only on Mille lacs
Love when you guys travel and film together reminds me of my brother and I. But he lives in florida now and I’m in jersey so I don’t see him as much as I’d like
Hopefully y’all see more of each other
I hope so keep up the good work bro
My favorite vacation to date is Alaska. We stayed near Soldatna too and fished for salmon, but also halibut. If you don't have that lined up yet I can send you the contact info on the guy we used, as he is originally from Clara City, MN.
A good meal is some teriyaki salmon over soy sauce ramen noodles(drain the juice)
Yum
Never gets old
Man you should really look more into it salmon smash flies but its a small window we swing flies for monster kings in September and switch for steelhead once the kings start to spawn cause the kings wont eat as much when they spawn
Sounds fun!
Awesome.
To bad you are all stuck to the road system though...
yo i live in Anchorage and u posted this video on my bday! lol
I’m from Alaska and love fishing the Kenai so this is awesome
I love it
What was your rod and reel setup?
I spent four years in AK and loved fishing that spot!!! Nice haul!!
Thank you!
im surprised i didnt see yall out there at rotary this year i usually go out to the island and hangout on the right side though i was catching at least 20 a day there for a week obviously only keeping 3 a day but i mean i was limiting out in like 10-30 mins of being there and i just love the way they fight
Love it!!!!!!!!
Awesome to see you in Alaska! If you are still here, you NEED to go to bird creek :)
I will hit that next time!
@@MinnDakOutdoors IT'S A TRAP! lol Bird creek is a mudhole and if given a choice it is NOT a river I would hit at all, in fact since moving here from MN 17 years ago I have not been to Bird creek at all. I did however go there on vacation my first ever trip here 20 years ago, it was NOT fun.
@@godlessevilfeeling Agreed. I hate bird creek almost as much as ship creek.
I have been stationed in Fairbanks for the past the years. Just went down a couple weeks ago to the Russian. Wish I could have ran into y’all. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for your service
Thanks just keep up the great video’s. They have helped me so much over there years. I started ice fishing because of y’all !!!!!
Dude, you should come to Homer and fish Halibut with me. I’m only an hour away from you.
Man I haven’t watched this video yet but I’m already jealous!
It was awesome
Great video you make me hungry
