Hard work there Simon. I had a late run 24-25lb Tyne fish last season, I'm 58 and it took me 1hr 15 to net it. Unhooked it and it swam off straightaway. Started fishing again and thought "I actually don't want to catch another" So I packed up and went home. Epic battle and an epic fish, well done !

This is the size of my biggest Salmon 24.5lbs i Lost it one day, i was using my 15ft double handed rod and it snapped my leader after 20 minutes, next day I was fishing for Sea trout in the 9ft rod with a 6lb leader and I caught the 24.5lb Salmon 45 min fight as it was the lighter gear! Got my leader and fly back from the day before lol Thanks for sharing great video

Well done catching the fish of a lifetime and getting it all on film! I was wondering if you actually felt the take or if you just started stripping line at the same time as the fish took the fly? From our viewers' perspective it looks like it was a soft sneaky take which probably went unnoticed until you began to strip. Congrats!!

Brilliant fish, many congrats. Good to see Britsh made Bruce and Walker rod being put to good use. I do, however, hate to see someone struggling to get a net ready whilst they have a fish on, as it is so easy to lose fish when this happens. I wish they still made the extra large Whitlock salmon fold over net with extending handle, as fold overs are far easier to deploy.

@MrKveite1 Ай бұрын
@@Simonc262 You are forgetting something, an Atlantic is a fair bit stronger than the baltic and if that fish WANTED to run there would be NOTHING, you could do. I am 6'3 and 220 pounds and i dont play with the fish but there is a HUGE diff between a fish that turns and give it the beans and a fish angling a little on the current and letting the current take it some meters downstream like that one did. I have seen 15 pounders flatten a 16 feet 12 rod stripping 200 meter of line in one single run many times and you cant stop them. Not going to happen. I have also landed a 32 pounder in 3 min so it all depends on how the fish behave and if you hook an angry one that just turn and burn downstream i promose you it wont care about your heavy gear for baltics for ONE sec. I doubt it beats a 16 feet 12 weight anyway..
