Epic Spring Kings!

Come fish with Father/Son team Jarod and Hunter Higginbotham.
Jarod grew up an avid outdoorsmen and now works at Yakima Bait doing R&D among many other official duties. This video is filmed at the mouth of the Wind River in Washington on the mighty Columbia River.
Every Spring Chinook salmon begin their migration from the Pacific Ocean to their natal spawning grounds in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Northward. The early Chinook are called “Springers” the Summer Chinook are called “Summers” and the Fall fish are called “Fall Chinook.” They all spawn in the Fall. Historically some of the salmon needed to get over falls and needed the early hi-water of Spring-runoff to make the journey.
We hooked into 13 fish, which is phenomenal for Springer fishing, and some of came unhooked right at the boat. We landed 5 hatchery fish.
Also onboard - Austin Gatchett, Kelsey Arndt, Kiana Wilson and Tony Amato.
ENJOY!

We were out there with you Saturday. Went 2 for 7. One keeper. One 20# wild had to turn loose (even though the boat next to us said to keep it🙄). Watched Jarod pump the music and hose himself down with the wash down hose when it got hot!!

I’m disappointed big J, no mag lips what the h**l. Your in cowgirl country

[@jarodhigginbotham398]

lol...too many times people cut right off the back of the boat bro and didnt want to deal with tangles

[@Cs-dt7eh]

We used to fish the toilet bowl back in the late '90s early 2000s. It was chaos back then. I could only imagine what it's like now lol

[@shaunlehman9158]

Yeah back then people had options on where they fished. Now every one is stuck in one a few locations. It’s a mad house

[@kcp7042]

It’s a mad house when people don’t follow everyone else and cut in line

[@Cs-dt7eh]

@@shaunlehman9158 ain't that the truth! Everyone used to have favorite fishing rivers. Now we have to fish rivers where the fish are.

[@Cs-dt7eh]

@@kcp7042 yeah I'm 33 years old and courtesy on the river is a thing of the past (some people are awesome). Even the guides don't respect bank anglers and crowd them (blue creek on the cowlitz).
