Huge FEEDER King Salmon. Ketchikan Alaska.

"The Quest for the One" Biggest King Salmon caught in Ketchikan sport fishing so far this year. Measuring 44 inches long weighing 47.4lbs. I cannot say how important it is to play these big fish out.
Went fishing with a local, Louie from Tall Tales Taxidermy in downtown Ketchikan and his friend Tom. They booked an evening charter. It was a slow first few hours of fishing we had caught some fish but not many. We were on our last drag, about 10 minutes before pulling gear, when we get two subtle bites. The first bite comes off. The second one sticks and it is on. It took 35 minutes to land him. One of the two hooks he broke off. The second hook was beginning to chafe.

You were right that extra large king was very angry. Beautiful job fighting those kings.

[@andydouglass1374]

There's more suspense in this video than any movie. Loved it!

[@protocl]

Love the video because there’s no stupid music playing. All we hear is the beautiful sound of the salmon peeling drag.

[@tjjanalaska8674]

Protocl agreed! Could not have done justice to this fish by covering that sound.

[@uriahparlet7007]

Omg! I’ve been binge watching your videos! This is so cool!! Miss you Jan! Looks like you are having the time of your life up there!

[@tjjanalaska8674]

Uriah Parlet we like it here. Thanks for watching! 😃

[@SpamMusubi308]

Wow amazing fish, watching Toms face was priceless I was screaming blink man blink! TJ & Jan thanks for posting this!

[@OutdoorChefLife]

wowwww thats a huuuge salmon!!! Awesome job guys! I need to go to Alaska!!

[@tjjanalaska8674]

Thanks its a beautiful place here with lots of fishing opportunity.

[@stevefisher2214]

nice, Matt missed out on that one!

[@tjjanalaska8674]

Yeah, we got one nice King while he was here. But not this big guy. Gonna be hard for us to beat this one. These fish are rare. They are here but they are smart and don't usually get caught.

[@JaredPitchford]

Great job congratulations on that beauty, amazing fish.

[@Oregonremote]

Truely Epic!

[@eviesoto886]

Wow! 😮😮😮😮

[@nobodyimportant9127]

Legend tells, that the clicker is still on

[@philosophyd]

That's not a fish. That's a swimming pig

[@fishduckdog]

Awesome Fish! Have you caught one as big or bigger since then?

[@fishsalmon8747]

Beautiful....

[@zephramartin6632]

That'll be some great eatin

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

Clicker off or on? Off for me once they stop their first run. Great focus and skill by the guy on the rod!

[@greatorangesky]

Bleed before bonk

[@tjjanalaska8674]

Jacob Tooley as a charter captain bonk before anything hooks in the hand are no fun.

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

Why? The heart beats and will pump out after the brain is disorganized.

[@davidortiz9859]

What main line would you recommend , braid, mono or flouro? for your main salmon trolling rod also what test?? Thanks

[@lutzy411]
