    After several failed attempts and watching countless people catch monster king salmon all around me, I FINALLY landed one vertical jigging. The season is officially underway and I'm excited to bring you guys some more awesome videos. Shout out to my buddy Joe for allowing me to go fishing with him on his boat, without him this video wouldn't have been possible!!

    Damn that looks like fun!!! sick video guys.
    I have to say though, you can't be pulling them out of the water for that long and laying them on the carpet if you intend to release them. Once the slime gets rubbed off, they're bound to end up with infections/wounds...it's definitely not the right way to catch and release.

      @Chiefz  3 роки тому +1

      Mitch Hatfield I agree. My hen was harvested so I wasn’t as concerned, but the first fish was foul hooked and we could’ve definitely done better. We were playing for keeps because we needed eggs. I’ll be more mindful moving fwd

    Thanks for releasing them bro! 🤘Me and the wife love to fish steelhead and salmon and we strictly release them even though people look at us crazy but I feel people need to conserve these fish more than they do to protect the numbers we've been fishing the pier constantly there but haven't smacked anything yet hopefully soon though!

      @Chiefz  3 роки тому

      Taylor Holz trust me I get heckled for it whenever people see me let them go! I ended up keeping 1 fish in this video for the use of skein so I could catch salmon in the rivers. Outside of that I’d argue 95%+ of my fish are caught and release strictly for fun. I admire your approach heavily. Thanks for watching 👍🏽👍🏽

      I’m not going to spot drop where exactly that’s at but what I will tell you is that you can jig for salmon like this at the mouth of rivers, between piers, and any harbor that gets a salmon run. You wouldn’t have to run out onto the big lake at all and there’s quite a few guys who do it from bass boats.
