Atlantic Salmon on a Rapala

Paul is out salmon fishing with friend Martin Lydon. Whilst Paul is playing in a 20lb pike Martin makes contact with a fresh run springer using his new rapala's.

Very nice footage, that salmon was a beauty, but that pike was also a stunner! Keep the salmon footage up! Tom

thanks Tom

[@Cumbrianangler]

Great footage. But it does seem strange that the salmon was spotted and then claimed that the lure came out the mouth then into the fishes side. I hope the fish wasn't foul hooked on purpose.

pike and salmon in the same waters!! amazing!

[@kilty35]

Foul hooked? Good show all the same and c&r fair play.

Well done you guys. Nice fish. Can you tell us what weight rods and what action rods you were using.

[@PaulGreenacre]

thanks John - using diawa shogun twin power - 10 foot fords - 30lb class - great rods beefy and sensitive at the same time - capable of handling a 35lb salmon! £ 250 ish - light weight and angled rings for far and smooth casting!

Paul Greenacre Thanx Paul, I'm always keen to compare what other guys are using compared to what I use here in NZ. Thanks for the speedy response.

[@Joegriffin100]

What rapalas do you use? Weight, size ect? Thanks

Hi Paul, great video, just wondering, was that on the exe? Great pike and big salmon, what was the rapala name by any chance? Thanks, visit 'The Crazy Fishing Show' cheers

Great fish!! I didn't know that you British guys do lure fishing instead of fly fishing. You're British, aren't you? Anyway, congratulations!!

[@PaulGreenacre]

We prefer the fly, but also enjoy the lure fishing.
