I'm really angry right now, I caught 4 salmon on a spoon today, but they all came off, luckily my friend was able to take a video where I almost pulled it ashore but he came of like 2 meters from me becouse i didn't have a net

Haven’t caught much lately but here’s a clip of a Chinook from 3 weeks ago that I lost due to tightening my drag too tight towards the end of the fight and got me caught under a branch.. This fight lasted approximately 7-10 minutes just as I thought he was done, he had lots more in him lol..

❗PB SALMONNNN❗ Honestly, this is my first salmon that I caught not in a river but in an open bay. God this monster gave me a really amazing fight,I couldn't pull him to shore more than 15 minutes. I was just going to fish in one of the creeks in Burlington Bay today. But after I didn't catch anything I decided to go home, I was about to go home but I thought I might try to catch a walleye, but I got lucky and I caught a this monster salmon
