Very nice fish Jerry. As Bill said weight please and the rest of the story did the fish come of a rigger or were you not using them that night?

We can only guess as to why this happens every year? What were you using as lures spoons, fly's, meat rigs ? or were the hooks coming out of it all? This is the time of the year that the Salmon start to get very hard jaw bones on the bigger fish. Were you using new SHARP hooks? Also buy looking at your report you were fishing 60 down over 125-175 FOW. They may have been steel head which have soft mouth to begin with. Really could be a lot of things or a combination of a few IE drags to tight, setting hooks to hard, hooks getting fouled in the fly leader<<<<<------this happens this time of year also. A little dab of glue on the base of the treble hook will help this. Happens to us all. Mark

Nice report bear. Where did all the big fish go? Mark Channel 8 VHF

Bear; What port do you fish ? Was that you I was talking to on channel 8 a few weeks ago? Mark

Sunday 23 August 2009 Uncle Bill and I. We caught this 31.15 pound King Salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha. Second Place Salmon. The fish is 42 3/4 inches long. Here are a few pics and a video of the King, Chinook salmon. This King Hit the Starboard Luhr Jensen Dipsy Diver rig pulling a 11" white Pro-Troll Hot Chip flasher, Great Lakes Tackle white FAMILIAR BITE 4 fly Tango Green label alewife. Wire was out 325 feet. While I was fighting this fish the other dipsy diver takes off and we double up. Uncle Bill drops the Sony video camera and I pick up the cam and start shooting video. That rig was pulling the same set up with the exception of a green 4 fly tango set at 300 out. It was a REEL screamer and than SNAP his fish was gone!! After the weigh in we went back out to fish. We did several nice Kings that day. Not many fish taking on spoons/riggers. Another hot set up was a white Pro-Troll Hot Chip flashers 8" fished off the riggers with A-TOM-MIK #T43 Ultra White Glow "Tournament Series" fly. One of my " go to set up's" Excuse the shake in the video camera. It was a bit hard to hold the cam with one hand, a 10' rod with a big rig and big king in the other hand. A setting on the cam was wrong for the light conditions causing the video quality to be a bit off, bright. Uncle Bill gets a bit excited. The adrenaline rush. Time stamp on pictures is wrong off by an hour, daylight saving time. Click on pics twice to zoom images. Check out the teeth on this King. Mark PS...does this look like and advertisement for any one product? LOL!!!
