Probably closer to 100, but definitely a good one!

Cast net, actually. Usually I catch them casting lures, though.

@@CarsonPrichard nice Ima have a nice 3 day back to back fishing weekend this Friday - Sunday. cedar key /Yankeetown. last weekend I seen tarpon rolling and even a a musky follow my paddle tail right up to my paddle board but no luck.

Dead shrimp.

I took a friend fishing near there. He caught a tank and was hooked himself. Bought a kayak and fished every week til he passed. I told him one day we were out there “maybe we died, we’re in heaven and don’t even realize it.”

@@MNBDH34 I got chills reading that last part because you're exactly right, it feels like that. The road to that ramp was closed for about eight months and when it finally opened, and I could drive all the way down to launch my kayak, I found myself overcome with happiness. Sometimes I fish with live bait and keep it in a bucket with an aerator, but when I get down to the last bait, and click off the air pump, the droning buzz of the grasshoppers is all of a sudden all you can hear and it's the most therapeutic sound. It reminds me of being a little kid and staying at my grandma's house in rural Indiana and falling asleep to the nasally nyeah-nyeah-nyeah-nyuh-nyuh sound of katydids through the screened window that my dad would keep open. When my time comes, maybe I'll be greeted with either of those sounds, somehow.

Live ladyfish.

Thanks! Yeah, I love it out there. I've been at it two years and still figuring out new things all the time.

Thank you!

Thanks for the pointer!

@@CarsonPrichard No problem. Plus there's no top water bite like a tarpon top water bite!

Yeah, this is all from Shell Mound. And if I can make a recommendation, get a pedal drive kayak if you can swing it. I wish I'd have spent an extra few hundred dollars to free up my hands.

@@CarsonPrichard are you in the Gainesville area?

Yes, I live in Gainesville.

Thanks Grant!

Bull shark? Okay, good to know. Obviously, Florida fishing is still giving me a lot of new things to think about. I'll hold 'em differently now that I know.

It's on the Olympic Peninsula.

There are several "Rivers" located on the "Olympic Peninsula"! Which "One" are you fishing in this video? Also, please show us the "Bead" set up you are using.

St. Augustine

😂😂😂

All I can say is is you got to get out and spend time looking it's hard to find a decent spot anymore but they are out there

I assume it's similar. Last year at Yankeetown the trout left when the water got colder in late December.

@@CarsonPrichard Ok.Thank you.

I got it at a Meijer about 15 years ago.

That one dude a long time ago got that 28 lber or something like that on the hoh fly fishing

My uncle and grandpa used to guide out there all the time until my grandpa passed and now my uncle's busy with his main job

Worst advice ever given on the web

Thanks for pointing this out. I did not know this applied to all salmon and steelhead, even hatchery fish.

Lb for lb stronger than a king 😂 a coho? Theyre more acrobatic but stronger than a king? You must only catch boots.

@@ericklagos1431 I get it. Jealous. And no experience hooking big coho and fishing the Satsop. I live 10 minutes from the river and keep a close eye on it.

​@jesse75 idk how im just now seeing this but I am in no way Jealous and I fish the Sat all the time as well. Biggest was an 18lb. You may have me beat in overall weight but in no way shape or form did that coho fight harder than a king of that size.

@@ericklagos1431 you know and I know a King pulls hard, likes to hold on the bottom. The bigger they are, the smarter they play that game. But a coho is wild, jumps and twists around. A King you can maneuver them somewhat. Out fox the fox. I often fish for salmon in the river with 10 pound test. They can be line shy. My daughter and I were fishing for summer Chinook in the Wenatchee River about 9 years ago. I hooked a good sized fish with a spinner. It moved around the deep hole. Then decided to move down river and stopped on the other side of a bridge piller that is positioned halfway in the river. The place is near Cashmere. The fish stopped in a somewhat calm water. My line was around the cement piller. So I sat down, kept tension on the line and waited to see what the fish would do. Just slightly the fish would move. I had 10 pound test clear P Line. I waited about 45 minutes, sitting and talking with my daughter. Finally I said to her, well it's going to be me or the fish. I wrapped the line around my arm near the reel. I started to slowly walk upstream. The fish slowly followed. Didn't put up a fuss. I figured the fish wanted to make its way back up in the deep hole along with the other fish that were in it. Sure enough, the fish got up to the hole. I then pulled the fish on the sandy beach. My daughter and I call it " The 24 pound Bridge Fish" I commercial troll caught salmon with my uncle in NorCal in the 70's. We were fishing off of Cape Mendocino at the end of a hard day of fishing. We had caught 325 Kings that day and we were pulling in the last of our gear. We were using all brass spoons. My uncle was almost at the cannon ball, and on the last spread a big giant back came out of the water. I yelled it's a shark, my uncle yelled back, it's a salmon. That fish had been on the hook quietly without us knowing, a big one. Now it started to misbehave and trash. 150 pound mono to the blade, my uncle was struggling trying to pull the fish up to the net I was holding. Ernie said, no go. He let the fish out and all of a sudden he hit the gerdie and the fish was going back down to the bottom for a ride. " I'm going to give that fish the bens ! " , he yelled. Down at least 150 fathoms, we counted the spreads while running the fish down. The fish was still on, you could look up at the spring pumping back and forth on the wooden trolling poles commercial fisherman use. Ernie," time to come up ! ". He brought the fish up as fast as the hydraulics would let him. Fish on the surface, and mad as hell. No bens. Ernie said, get the rifle in the wheel house, " I'm going to shoot the fish ! " I ran in, the seas were calm, and now it was near dark. As I ran to the stern, I saw the line go limp in his hand, Ernie pulled it in, the meat hook broke off in the fish. He said, " 200 bucks just swam off, that fish was a good 60 pounds or more. " I've had the privilege and pleasure to meet so many salmon in person, in so many different environments. So many experiences. I hooked a 18 pound king off mushroom rock near Neah Bay. That fish gave one good deep run. Then it was an up and down pump. Go down, take line, pump up again. In the boat. Years before, Mom and dad and I went out of Westport on a charter book. Bar was rough, but outside was good sea. I hooked one of the first fish. 25 pulls was the command from the deck hand. It was a wild fish, full of pizz and vinegar. The fish was under the boat, came up the other side and was dancing on the surface. I couldn't see the fish, I was on the opposite side, but everyone was making noise in excitement. The deck hand put the net down in the water and tried to move the line off the bottom of the boat. And " crack " the pole broke in four pieces. The deck hand grabbed the line and told me to reel in as he pulled. I held the broken pole pieces the best I could while reeling. He pulled the fish in, captain came down and netted the fish. Later, after the trip, and much more excitement, we weighed our fish. Mom had caught a 35 pound King, my fish weighed 18 pounds. That fish, a Coho, was more entertaining on the boat that day, than my mom's fish. I said, sorry dad for breaking the rental pole. He said it was worth it. I've never yet met a Silver that would behave.

LOL I hate flossing with 30 dudes shoulder to shoulder. Puyallup cohos are tiny too
