Show Us Your Humpies !!!

[Mossback]

Skunked on humpies.

Bummer dude...

 

[VMP]

Somebody missed the boat? (pun or hump intended), I just got this e-mail from WDFW to encourage thinking about gearing up for the expected big return..., with hundreds of coho been sampled in most marine areas and pinks only on single digits by now it seems it is almost time to "reminisce" about humpies rather than "thinking about gearing up for them! Maybe they are thinking rivers, I dunno.

​

Hit the water for humpies!

Goddamn I love September. Swimsuits, smores and slime rockets!!

The last one was an absolute unit of a hump. A camel. Like Quasimodo. He sure rang my bell!

I was told there would be humps

 

[SilverFly]

Upon eating a collar fresh off the smoker I am reminded why I bothered. They are fatty and delicious.

I concur!

 

[the_chemist]

Still can't find the humpies.

I found some humpies on reds today and let them be.

This girl was still pretty damn fresh hanging out where I was looking for coho. Since the wife insists I never catch fish and doesn't believe I actually go fishing I brought her home for some smoking experiments. After last weekends rain there was a ton of humpies in the creeks spawning. Saw a lot of main river spawners too. Some giant dead chinook out there as well.

No I would say that one is quite ripe. The hens ripen up differently than the males. I hope you are being very generous with brine and smoke time then maybe jerky it for good measure.

Ha! I did that a week ago.

It’s been a decade or two since I’ve smoked up some pinks so I decided to give it another go.

I, too, kept what appeared to be a smokeworthy female.

The meat was nearly white mush by filet time.

Unfortunately i’m not sure sure it will hit the brine….might just be crab bait or dog food

Its a pretty salty brine. Like 2:1 brown sugar to salt. Either way it wasn't mushy but definitely not ocean fresh. Carcass will feed the crabs well either way.

You're a lot stronger person than I if you eat that humpy.
