Going into the drink once in awhile keeps us on our toes to always review safety practices regularly & keeps our information and procedures fresh in a mind to avoid panic. Keep up the great videos.
Whew! Taku netting those fish was nerve racking for me, I can't imagine how hard it was for you. At least you didn't lose the salmon when you flipped. Can't wait to see you filet it.
I am glad you are safe and unhurt. Equipment can be replaced, you can't. You have nothing to apologize for. (Also a lesson to all, always wear your flotation vest.)
That sucks that you lost the camera. On a brighter note I personally really enjoy the angle of the video. Gives a better view of what you are doing and the fish approaching. Keep up the good videos. :)
That was soooooo nice! Right after “3minutes later” how you slowed down, got the bite, then pedaled like crazy to bury the hook..... amazing Taku! So dope
Sorry to hear about your GoPro! I’ve lost one before too when practicing self rescue so that’s why I leash everything. Grats on hooking up the ghost and chrome! You’re on 🔥
Don’t worry about repeated salmon videos, Taku. Other UA-camrs are out there catching the same thing - bass, carp, catfish - over and over again. You spice things up by cooking different things. It’s always great to watch!
wasn't as epic as i thought ! title made it sound like he got flipped out at sea . he got flipped at shore ha . still sucks though , he lost a gopro :( . it was nature's way of asking for payment for the seabass and king salmon , HA !
Tough break bud! Glad you're alright and can keep providing great content. I know your pain of losing media. I was fortunate enough to find my phone last year in the river two weeks after flipping my kayak. Phone was toast but the sd card was just fine! The two weeks in between finding it really made me realize how important those memories are.
Taku, I'm living vicariously through your kayak fishing videos! Salmon might be the best fish off a yak! Sorry you lost your camera! A friend of mine took me out kayak fishing. It was my very first time out. I flipped the yak and I was unable to get back in! I took a bag filled with my gear. I ended up losing it m I don't know how you all do it? IMHO, fishing off a yak isn't easy! Im lucky that I was wearing a life jacket, otherwise I may not have out alive! I have since watched videos on how to get back into a yak. I'm ready to give it another go....
Awesome catch Taku , glad you didnt loose the salmon , too bad about the swim .went to the beach to collect some seaweed, i found four types ,trying to identify them,we have 1000 varieties here in Western Australia. Thanks for seaweed inspiration awesome channel , greetings from WA , Tree
Just gotta rig some camera bait on your rod like batteries and memory cards, i'm sure that camera will bit on that and you'll be back to filming with it in no time 😎👌
risked it for the biscuit! sorry about the flip but tbh i liked that it forced you to use this angle, i like it best. you can see everything happening at once. looking forward to pt 2!
Loving your videos Taku, and even if they seem "repetitive" they're still great to watch. I was wondering if you have a video just going over the various modifications and add ons that you have on your kayak. I think that would make great content for the aspiring kayak fishers out there, including myself! peace ✌️
So glad you are safe.. whewwww!!! Bet that was scary. Crazy, that you caught a ghost fish.. maybe that's why you lost that camera. He wants to keep his identity and location, a secret 😜
Awesome catch! Still good footage, man super hard angle to land fish on the kayak but you still did it! Gotta start rigging some lanyard clips for everything now! Camera and all! Looking forward to the next salmon dish! 🤙Aloha
Super nice video! I once flipped my Hobie Revolution 13 in very shallow surf! I broke three fishing rods and damaged some other equipment also! But... that’s all part of the fun and you have to take the good with the bad!🙏🏻😃
Sorry to see the loss of your camera. Since you were in the shallows, try going back to the spot at low tide. Lots of lost dive gear is recovered at typically rough beaches using this effort...when making a beach exit, try tightening your abs as much as possible and paddle paddle paddle. Pro surf kayakers taught me this at Steamers Lane, Santa Cruz. (It's just north of the warf & just south of the lighthouse) looking forward to the cooking addition of this adventure.
Awesome show as always! When netting the fish, put the net behind them then let them drift back into it. just how you netted the second fish. it wont scare them as bad and it will be easier to net.
Really enjoy your videos. I have watched videos from all your counterparts in the SF area (my first subscription being Fisherman's Life) and find that your's has the best balance of variety, tight editing with focus on the action, great cooking and you just have a warm engaging personality. Keep up what you are doing, I have no doubt you will reach 1MM subs soon!
BTW I marinated a half an Alaskan salmon filet today with soy sauce, sesame seeds, sesame oil, Japanese mustard, and Texas honey! I grilled and glazed it on charcoal and with mesquite wood. Out of everything I cooked the salmon was the only one that did not survive haha! Ty for the idea!
especially with a wider boat like an outback you should try coming in backwards.. the surf will push you to the beach, and you can reverse course and punch forward into the waves.. A lot harder to flip when you face the waves
I always enjoy your videos and this was no exception. Congratulations on catching a beautiful King Salmon. As a suggestion try a different rod to make netting salmon easier. Your rod is very flexible from the tip right down to the butt. That makes it very difficult to position the fish for netting because your rod is bent in a "U" and the fish is still behind you. A rod with a flexible tip and a heavy butt section will allow you move the fish in front of you and lift it up to the surface for netting.
great video! i feel like i should point out, if you're planning to release a fish grabbing it by the gills/gill plate can be harmful to it and can cause infections as the gills are very sensitive :( on the east coast, any striper we dont keep we make sure not to grab by the gill plate and always make sure to revive the fish and make sure it swims off strong after a fight as they can tire them out
Love your vids man! One of these days you should do some travel tips, like how you travel with all your gear and the best way to fly with fishing etc. keep it up!
Bummer bro! Need to try the squid beds and the oyster farms off the coast of Long Beach and Huntington Beach! Tons of white sea bass there.. bent rods my friend
Maybe if your rod was a little stiffer you could get the fish more in "netting range". I enjoy and share your "elation" whenever you finally land a good fish. It seems Adam had a fun filled beaching recently.
Always enjoy a salmon fishing video, especially with the beautiful views and the whale sightings! For freezing, why not pick up some dry ice to fast-freeze it?
Ouch man! Watching you trying to net those fish was pretty painful. Without the audio, one would think you’re trying to beat the fish off of your line with the net. Lol 😆
The best videos you make are the ones you catch fish and do sushi with your lady. Not a big fan of the seaweed videos but yet still full of information
Never apologize for kayak fishing, this is what I’m here for.
In my opinion I love the salmon ones and haven't once thought "cmon salmon again?" Keep doing you
Alright cool because there's gonna be at least one more this season😂
Psh. Salmon is delicious. Forget comments lol.
@@OutdoorChefLife what kayak are you using?
Same
give this man his netflix show already
that would be cool, but youtube is prob better cuz it's free
As long as they change this man and his passion I’m down!
Very good
I’d actually be so stoked if they did
I'd watch it.
I have fished Northern California my whole life and never caught a ghost. Yours was short but that’s still special.
He is special indeed I really enjoy his video
Now, I really want to target them up here. Might be wasting a lot of time but you never know!
Going into the drink once in awhile keeps us on our toes to always review safety practices regularly & keeps our information and procedures fresh in a mind to avoid panic. Keep up the great videos.
Whew! Taku netting those fish was nerve racking for me, I can't imagine how hard it was for you.
At least you didn't lose the salmon when you flipped. Can't wait to see you filet it.
it's instantly an awesome day when I see a new video from Outdoor Chef Life
Awe. But you're safe thank goodness! The world needs you! Jocelyn needs you most!
No worries... Salmon fishing, eating never gets old my friend.
My husband and I been binge watching all your videos. we love them all. Glad you are alright!!!
Your salmon videos, or any of your videos, NEVER get old!! Please keep them coming.
Now the fish is gonna film you whenever you go out fishing.
Fish have cameras
Fish are government spies
What you do is the same, what you catch isn’t the same.. keep up the good work man. Love your videos.
I am glad you are safe and unhurt. Equipment can be replaced, you can't. You have nothing to apologize for. (Also a lesson to all, always wear your flotation vest.)
Man, you must have abs of steel. I'm getting exhausted from just watching you pedal and fish!
It’s interesting video to watch
Always look forward to your vids bro. Kayaking, camping, diving, foraging, fishing or cooking they're all good 👍🏼
That sucks that you lost the camera. On a brighter note I personally really enjoy the angle of the video. Gives a better view of what you are doing and the fish approaching. Keep up the good videos. :)
That was soooooo nice! Right after “3minutes later” how you slowed down, got the bite, then pedaled like crazy to bury the hook..... amazing Taku! So dope
I love the kayak episodes, don't apologize man this content is awesome
What an action packed episode, a lil bit of everything 🛶🎣🌊
Great video and nice fish! Sorry about the camera brotha. Glad you are safe. 🎣
Love your channel and both wife and I are fond of both you and Jocelyn!
Ahh... the dreaded kayak baptism! It happens to us all. Cool bycatch, had no idea they got that far up the coast!!
Sorry to hear about your GoPro! I’ve lost one before too when practicing self rescue so that’s why I leash everything. Grats on hooking up the ghost and chrome! You’re on 🔥
Sorry about your wipe out bro, glad your ok. Love your show. I am a Coast Guard Veteran and I miss the ocean.
Keep the salmon videos coming! Definitely does not feel repetitive at all.
Thank goodness that you are okay, so you can produce more videos for all of us.
Don’t worry about repeated salmon videos, Taku. Other UA-camrs are out there catching the same thing - bass, carp, catfish - over and over again. You spice things up by cooking different things. It’s always great to watch!
Never, ever apologize for salmon fishing videos. Its some of your best videos. 🤙
Always looking forward to new videos from you, none of your content ever feels repetitive. Keep them coming. 👍
I haven’t watched this through yet... but I already know this is gonna be epic
wasn't as epic as i thought ! title made it sound like he got flipped out at sea . he got flipped at shore ha . still sucks though , he lost a gopro :( . it was nature's way of asking for payment for the seabass and king salmon , HA !
Same
Yeah it’s great
It's so exciting to go out with you! I was on the edge waiting to see if you would net that white sea bass! Never get tired of these!
This is good content, dont put yourself down taku! Upload what you get up to, that's what we're here for
Tough break bud! Glad you're alright and can keep providing great content. I know your pain of losing media. I was fortunate enough to find my phone last year in the river two weeks after flipping my kayak. Phone was toast but the sd card was just fine!

Nice catch and video! Sorry to hear you lost expensive equipment! Tough deal!
Taku, I'm living vicariously through your kayak fishing videos! Salmon might be the best fish off a yak! Sorry you lost your camera!

You're the best fisherman out there Taku! Sorry about your footage, hope someone out there finds it 👍😎
Good video! Glad you're safe and incredible white seabass catch!
Awesome catch Taku , glad you didnt loose the salmon , too bad about the swim .went to the beach to collect some seaweed, i found four types ,trying to identify them,we have 1000 varieties here in Western Australia. Thanks for seaweed inspiration awesome channel , greetings from WA , Tree
Glad you are ok cameras can be replaced great video love the salmon fishing
Just gotta rig some camera bait on your rod like batteries and memory cards, i'm sure that camera will bit on that and you'll be back to filming with it in no time 😎👌
Very fun episodes thanks for the bonuse show
Whoa, that was a crazy flip! At least you're ok. Material things can always be replaced! And...that's a big salmon! Nice catch!
Nice catch indeed friend
risked it for the biscuit! sorry about the flip but tbh i liked that it forced you to use this angle, i like it best. you can see everything happening at once. looking forward to pt 2!
Camera lost in the water? Looks like it a job for DALLMYD.
Or fishermanslife. Dude is a low tide scavenger

so much happed in this video -top quality content

I really enjoy watching people fishing or diving into deep ocean catching lobsters
Taku I found you through a donut operator shoutout!. I love your channel and will continue to shout it out! Thanks for all your efforts!
BTW I marinated a half an Alaskan salmon filet today with soy sauce, sesame seeds, sesame oil, Japanese mustard, and Texas honey! I grilled and glazed it on charcoal and with mesquite wood. Out of everything I cooked the salmon was the only one that did not survive haha! Ty for the idea!
Another nice upload. Thanks for sharing.
crazy waters out there be safe!!! love the video thank you
Just glad you’re safe Taku😊
Keep the salmon vids rolling
That was a great catch! White sea bass woooohooooooo! Sorry that the wave caught ya bad 👎! Tight lines and keep on catchin!
Glad you’re okay, other stuff can be replaced. Good content, it was exciting to watch!
Just be thankful you flipped on waist-high water. Glad you're safe.
Thanks for another great vid Taku, I appreciate you so much man.
RIP Camera, glad that you're okay Taku
The moment when you got flipped OMG that's very scary!
Handled that wave like a champ sorry about your camera buddy 🤙🏽
especially with a wider boat like an outback you should try coming in backwards.. the surf will push you to the beach, and you can reverse course and punch forward into the waves.. A lot harder to flip when you face the waves
Nice catch! Chin up though taku all you can do is laugh at yourself lol we still love you
Great video and glad you ok Taku
They are feeding, stunning the fish
Awe wow, luckily you look alright but nothing can fix your recording and humility for that moment but acceptance.
I always enjoy your videos and this was no exception. Congratulations on catching a beautiful King Salmon. As a suggestion try a different rod to make netting salmon easier.

Feel sorry your camera and lost footages. Waiting for next episode.
Damn!!! Not the camera... On the bright side, at least you were close to shore. We need you to stay alive bro lol
This is the most chaotic title i have ever seen from Outdoor Chef Life and i am ready for it
"Thank God i got a bigass head" quality content
My heart was beating hard watching that wave come up behind you, but I'm glad you're ok! Can't wait to see what you make out of that gorgeous salmon.
Personal LOVE the salmon videos
Landing those fish is so stressful !😂 Great vid even with the lost footage!
great video! i feel like i should point out, if you're planning to release a fish grabbing it by the gills/gill plate can be harmful to it and can cause infections as the gills are very sensitive :( on the east coast, any striper we dont keep we make sure not to grab by the gill plate and always make sure to revive the fish and make sure it swims off strong after a fight as they can tire them out
they're stunning the fish
Sorry about the camera dude. Good video nonetheless, congrats on the white sea bass and looking forward to the salmon prep!
Watching your videos makes me want to move to Cali just to fish and forage on the beach 😂😂. One dayyyy lbs!
Awesome catch! 👻 🎣 I have caught 3 WSB from the surf and my PB is 23-1/2”! Congrats Taku
I feel ya 100% Taku! I flipped a kayak in Bodega Bay and lost a GoPro back in January 😭
Whales do it for fun. Also the reverberations, sound waves, communicate with other members of the pod miles away.
Love your vids man! One of these days you should do some travel tips, like how you travel with all your gear and the best way to fly with fishing etc. keep it up!
Glad you're okay Taku
Bummer bro! Need to try the squid beds and the oyster farms off the coast of Long Beach and Huntington Beach! Tons of white sea bass there.. bent rods my friend
glad to hear you're alright.
My grandma goes fishing in the bay, and went home with a 32 pounder and a 25 pounder. The salmon are crazy this year!
Maybe if your rod was a little stiffer you could get the fish more in "netting range". I enjoy and share your "elation" whenever you finally land a good fish. It seems Adam had a fun filled beaching recently.
lol that squirrel making a cameo at 12:43
Always enjoy a salmon fishing video, especially with the beautiful views and the whale sightings! For freezing, why not pick up some dry ice to fast-freeze it?
Dude I got water in my ear watching that wipe out!
Ouch man! Watching you trying to net those fish was pretty painful. Without the audio, one would think you’re trying to beat the fish off of your line with the net. Lol 😆
Good job. Epic save with that net flip. Although you are reaching too much with the net. Get them closer. Shorten your leader if you need to
The best videos you make are the ones you catch fish and do sushi with your lady. Not a big fan of the seaweed videos but yet still full of information
At 4:40 Taku gives you that wanna F look...meme worthy.
I enjoy your videos, even though we don't get any salmon on the gulf coast, lol..I did catch a king in Port Alberni BC years ago though!
Glad you are OK
Don’t worry about same content still not lame. Still very entertaining.
