when you are done smoking it,you better send the whole dang mess over to me and I will taste test it all for you and let you know if its safe to eat or not,if so,you can make some more for yourself.
wine and cracker recommendations to go with it would be helpful too.
Seriously, why can it as opposed to vac and freeze it?
Denny, we catch these all summer long and they tend to take over the freezer. Canning is great way to get some freezer space back and they taste great.

Interesting they look like sockeye real deep red in color. Do you catch them in the river or lake?
Lake, Flaming Gorge Reservoir. It’s one of the best blue ribbon Koke fisheries in the country.
I fished them quite a bit in Don Pedro, Pardee, etc when I lived in CA for a few years. They do add up fast in the freezer! I wanted to take a trip to Flaming Gorge so bad, but didn’t make it before we moved back to CA. They are some great tasting fish!

Berryessa and New Melones were red hot this past summer, turning out some 18″ – 20″ Kokes. I lived in Sacramento for just over 30 years up until a few years ago.
