Jigging For Chinook

[@roblockhart8410]

Toby seems like an absolute beauty. Love fishing with older gents like him and soaking up the knowledge.

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@roblockhart8410 he's a pleasure to be with for sure. Very outgoing and friendly and fun to fish with.

[@Elparquito]

Jigging for kings is so much fun! Feeling them bite the jig, or seeing your line go slack on the drop is so awesome. Love it

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@Elparquito so true 👍

[@Elparquito]

@@Northwestfishingfanatics ...and if I had to guess on the mystery fish--foul hooked dogfish or skate. Probably on the back as I don't think it realized it was being pulled up for a while.

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@Elparquito Nah, it was a 40 lb Salmon. 😉

[@Elparquito]

@@Northwestfishingfanatics If true, this will haunt your dreams forever! I'd stick with a skate. I lost a king on the Columbia I never saw. It was either 40+, or I hooked a pissed off submarine. (not sturgeon or sea lion).

[@samsmith7150]

Keep the videos coming Gene!

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@samsmith7150 I plan on it. You keep watching. 😆 seriously thanks for watching.

[@davidbrown7932]

@@davidbrown7932 thanks

[@TobyRickman]

Great morning with Gene!

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@TobyRickman great morning with Toby. 😀

[@ThatPNWGuy2024]

Headed out there in the morning.

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@ThatPNWGuy2024 good luck

[@sam-68-56]

Those glow pants should attract the fish too...nice...

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@sam-68-56 glow pants? You mean my yellow bibs? My old ones got moldy and turned black after forgetting to dry them out after a fishing trip. Talk about gross.

[@trihulladventures6567]

Loose that hook setup and tie a double hook rig and bend the eyelets of the dart over very slightly to one side and slip it on the leader above your hooks set. Run bigger hooks too 4/0 at least.

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@trihulladventures6567 ya know it's one of those things where I know the set up isn't the best but still use them unchanged. I really do need to improve them. Even Toby told me to use one of his before we started fishing.

[@duckwacker8720]

No need.

[@ThatPNWGuy2024]

We catch them just fine without re rigging them. Only change we make it fresh hook every time we go out.

[@waynefishon1650]

I'm in your video,, black r&h boat with golden lab her name is Zoe haha

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

I remember that boat. thanks for watching.

[@duckwacker8720]

What day were you out?

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

21st

[@waynefishon1650]

Lots of days I get to go with my buddy when I'm not working,,,it's his boat I'm just gilagan 😂​@@duckwacker8720

[@edwardenglish1519]

We will forever remember what was not to be.

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@edwardenglish1519 win some lose some. 😆

[@reedfee3541]

Get rid of the split ring and swivel. strange things happen down there with the fish twisting and thrashing around. We jig for them in the Columbia gorge. Highly effective at times!

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

they'll be fixed before I do that again.. for sure.

[@Nicholasyeahbruh]

Fancy pants 👖 rich McGee

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@Nicholasyeahbruh lol huh?

[@acivilsavage]

Ever been to Chgnik or Sand Point?

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

No. Port Heiden and Egegik once for a Caribou hunt.

[@ThatPNWGuy2024]

Little/Big fish trap?

[@ThatPNWGuy2024]

Hahah guessed it before he said it!

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

yup

[@ThatPNWGuy2024]

We limited out there last Sunday. Y’all gotta be careful of the commercial crab pot that’s on the bottom out there between little and big trap. That thing has 100s of jigs stuck in it.

[@ThatPNWGuy2024]

We got everything from sculpin, flounder, squid, dogs, and I even some how managed to snag a sand lance right through the middle. Must have been jigging in a bait ball.

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

nice!

[@morgankruse4666]

Put a swivel on the split ring, then your siwash to the swivel, the fish cant get any leverage that way

[@Northwestfishingfanatics]

@@morgankruse4666 thanks

[@ehrenboatman2232]

Best way to keep them on longer. My pops back in the day lost one boat side to a snapped split ring. Sucker was 30 lbs and I started the swivel to split ring after that fish and never had a problem after

[@duckwacker8720]

3/0 big river bend are what you need
