Late-Run King Salmon Fishing and Pro Guide Roe Curing Masterclass!

Pitch-black mornings, violent reaction bites, and river monsters with jaws full of razor-sharp teeth! We hit the Upper Sacramento River with legendary guide Capt. Jeff Goodwin for an epic Catch & Cure fall King Salmon mission. This run of fall Kings are finishing their final destination to the Coleman National Fish Hatchery on Battle Creek, these mature kings have turned into true river dinosaurs, complete with massive hook jaws, gnarly canine teeth, and thick shoulders. Starting in pitch-black conditions before dawn, Capt. Jeff shows how he rigs wrapped KillerFish plugs, sets up weights to beat motor noise, and picks early morning colors like chartreuse to trigger violent reaction strikes. After netting a hen in the dark and landing a prehistoric buck at first light, we head to the cutting table to break down the anatomy of late-run kings, inspect flesh quality, and show how to fillet a female without bursting the prize skeins inside. Stick around for the end because Capt. Jeff takes us into his shop for a complete roe curing masterclass with Catch America cure. Salmon naturally feed on loose eggs drifting down the river, and as Jeff explains, there is a separate late-fall run of bright kings pushing up through November that hammer these baits. Jeff’s day-to-day guide experience has proven that Sacramento River salmon, winter steelhead, and trout all crave this exact same egg presentation. Whether you want to put together a deadly bait for the upcoming winter steelhead and trout season or prep your cure for next year's salmon run, you do not want to miss this full step-by-step breakdown. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 - Intro and Teaser: The Dinosaur Buck 0:30 - Rigging in the Dark (Plugs, Tuna Wraps and Weights) 1:35 - First Fish On!
