Big River Robbery - Coho Fishing Nov. 2023 - Always In Pursuit

[@petrhermanadventures9509]

Good episode. There were a lot of late fish this year, got as many in November as I did in October.

Is there a specific reason why a chrome fish will go dark after it’s been bonked?

[@bentrod5815]

I tried to find the answer online and couldn’t find much. What I do know, is most often these Chameleon Coho, will have a darker belly with silver sides, often quite chrome looking. If you know what you’re looking for you can tell the difference. I was on another river, a few days after this video was filmed and killed 4 Coho. I knew for sure I had 2 fresh fish and 2 that would darken up a bit. I only kept them because their flesh was very firm. If they look silver, have a greyish belly and are kinda soft to the touch, you have dog food.

Great content, keep up the good work. I have a question about your float setup. What reel do you use? Line strength and amount?

[@bentrod5815]

I typically use a Shimano Curado 200 HG. This is a high gear ratio model, for fast retrieve speed. It fits great in my hand and the high gear ratio adds many more casts to my day. I use 20 lb braided mainline. I’ll double uni knot a 10 foot section of fluorocarbon line to my braided mainline if I’m concerned with fish seeing my braid (in very clear conditions). Hope this answers your question and thanks for watching.
