Late fall king salmon

Postby Ken » Sat Oct 06, 2012 11:53 am

Went fishing for steelheads...but saw only 3 very finicky fish. Salmon don't usually feed in streams, but I had 2 grabbed my worm today...one snapped of my 6lb fluoro in a hurry, one stayed on.

I started the video about a little into the fight. I hooked the fish in a pool downstream and had to follow it upstream in the skinny water when it ran. You'll see part of the video cuts off...my GoPro came off my head and I had to grab it and hold it with one hand on my head while holding onto the rod with the other...and do that before it falls off my head into the creek. When it cuts back in, there's a little water droplet on the lens blurring one side a bit. I cut out the segment just before the camera came off and stitched it back in after I had it back on my head.

After fishing, we stepped into a store to check out a centerpin reel...originally I was planning to spend $100, I stepped out with $220 less in the bank. :roll:

But my new Okuma Sheffield is so nice. Hopefully you can see it next time in action. :D

I am genetically predisposed to make fish look bigger than they really are.
