When I saw that spoon in the net it felt like watching Wilson float away on the movie Cast Away. Very sad

[@fishduckdog]

It's that electrifying tug! That's why ya take "one more cast ".

[@cjfish6349]

Been there, done that.... We all know the feeling. Good catch and release.

[@nolanlecloux8340]

Your fishing right infront of my duck hunting blind, what are the odds😂

[@843Landbased]

Haha

[@843Landbased]

@William Sherman no way Fr

[@dilligaf0220]

Is that what that was on the shore? HAH I thought it looked like a cleaning table.

[@nolanlecloux8340]

@@dilligaf0220 lol, it needs some work but it still kills ducks.

[@txaquatics3065]

Props for grinding it out and getting that close. Thumbs up man as always. Don't let it get you down, humbling video in my opinion.

[@brianh.5727]

Brother, I’ve watched this video twice now. All I can say is count your self as Very Blessed to have Been There. Doing something you Love. We Love You Robert 💕❤️

[@mattiegtv1731]

I love how you show what goes on behind the scenes. People need to see that side. One of my favorites videos of yours! Welcome to Salmon Land.

[@solidtangent4977]

Robb iv watched all your videos but this one right here is the one lmfao . Your face when u realized it rolled off the net lol Priceless .

[@michaelcoonts1571]

Spoons work great for silvers in Alaska. We have the luxary of river current to float right in their face. This is amazing

[@kailogon]

I wish you had filmed Jon's reaction :)

[@kellybrian6495]

Dude, I feel you. Wife and I are native to Wisconsin and I took us two years to finally figure these fish out. Much sadness up until we finally landed them.

[@AYOFishing]

Bro my heart SANK for you🤯🤯

[@davidmassongill2171]

Been there done that. Very realistic video of fishing for Salmon from the yak during the spawn.

[@bews13ful]

This was a pure comedy lol I love it!

[@fishbones472]

Salmon fish can be hard at times and sometimes it kicks you down but whatever you do don’t quit. Just keep on trying And you’ll get one the right way

[@kevinriordan4856]

I felt every bit of that when the fish got off! That’s fishing! Great video!

[@YakFishField]

Meeeee too

[@kevinriordan4856]

@@YakFishField I was holding my breath! You’ll get one next time! Again, great video!

[@ChiCityYaker]

Oh man Rob... I hate to see it lol. Typically this is where 96% of kayak guys lose their Kings is at the net job. Listen, all I do is fish Lake Michigan for Salmon and I'd be happy to take you out and show you everything you need to know on kayak fishing for salmon. Feel free to check some of my last vids from this past Fall King run. I really smacked them up and I can get you on them as well. Tight lines bud

[@joshuad.3466]

Damn Rob, I feel for you my friend, I’ve never experienced anything like that, frustration at it’s finest, great content nonetheless, thanks !

[@darkhorse1628]

I recommend next time you ever come out here in the fall go to the Milwaukee river or any of the harbors and use a float bobber with either skein on it or spawn sack you will catch many more fish easily with the salmon eggs or a fly rod.

[@vossome5790]

Take that lucky strike up to Alaska this spring/summer! You won't regret it!

[@peterolszewski9778]

Hang in there Rob. The kings seem to be my nemesis as well. I’ve caught browns, cohos, rainbows, and lakers out of Lake Michigan, all from the kayak. I keep try for kings, but can’t seem to get it done. You can bet I will be out next season trying again. Some times, you just have to get back up on that horse. Hang in there brother. We all appreciate what you are doing!

[@bossman123]

Lol best video ever! Thats the true reality of salmon fishing, y´ll get em next time :)

[@Beyondthebreakers]

Yeah, it is painful. Reminds me my tarpon chase. I went to a trip for 5 days and had 150-200 lbs tarpons rolling around me, but no matter what I throw in the water (mullets, crabs, etc), they dont bite. Those videos keep us in touch with reality, everyone catch a big fish on youtube, but it is not always the case in real life. So, keep those videos coming. P.S. that salmon was almost in the net, it might be easier to gaff him actually, but there is no “if” in fishing lol

[@thomascomeau2961]

Don't feel bad I been going to the lower Niagara river since 2016 to catch these fish with very little success. My 1st trip out I lost 4 fish to broken hook, bent hook, pulled hook, and broken leader. Since this trip I hooked into 1 other salmon and landed it. The fall is the most difficult time to try and target these beast. Salmon type fish have been the one that I can't seem to nail down.

[@Tied_with_Aloha]

I’m saving this video to watch when I have a bad day. Just found your channel, I hope you got your chinook. Try twitching jigs, that is the best way to hook those fish in slow water.

[@mikewolfson8482]

Great effort, at least you got to see the fish.

[@brianhildebrand6272]

Hopefully if you do come back he can put you on some of the huge smallies they have in the bay!

[@dominicmcdonnell5077]

Come over to the Michigan side in September I can show you the ropes on jigging for kings

[@YakFishField]

That sounds fun

[@ahhdat]

Fun to watch from the beginning to the end. Can't believe you lost that salmon. I was like DAMN!!!! lol

[@Yakplanet_tv]

Nice. Very nice. Long videos are enjoyable. Can watch and eat my dinner

[@bitefishing]

Same.

[@bitefishing]

Thanks for posting this. Sometimes the torment can be maddening, but if fishing was simple all the time, it wouldn't be rewarding. This has been the worst year I can recall, aside from a few good fish, but no way I would quit. Every single cast is renewed hope. You just never know what might bite on the next cast.

[@bradpowell6224]

That's kayak fishing for ya!

[@fishingwithredtrout1240]

We all have this day,this is the longest video I watched without a fish,but thanks for the trip (when praying,there’s only one God)

[@carnivalbarker8505]

Cheer up, we'll call that a leader touch.

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha thanks man!

[@matthewsolocam1751]

Smaller crankbaits with a slow retrieval are 🔑

[@dilligaf0220]

Right, it was almost painful watching him burn in spoons, knowing exactly how this was going to end up.

[@smoothaustin1680]

You should come to Michigan to fly fish for them in the rivers. Heck of a time!!!

[@arthurhilse1480]

That's a catch in my book she was in the net. Good content regardless keep up the good work.

[@Texarican1]

Love the commenting. Humor with a sense of desperation. Local tactics seem very promising. Waiting in anticipation for that king salmon. Queue hysterical laugh 28:25. I was really on edge hoping you would land that fish. Salmon 1 Robert 0. Maybe next time be safe and thank you for the video

[@ItsTippToppFishing]

ROBBERT!! So sorry bud! Atleast you have the strength of character to laugh at your self. Better luck next year! We all routing for you!

[@sandorsebestyen623]

One of your best video...😉

[@johnkim701]

I caught my first coho after probably at least a dozen trips. Keep trying. You'll get it! Love your videos.

[@bassfishingtipsandtrickswi6265]

Go to dexter Ny in late October early November when I was stationed there the kings would come in and spawn there from Lake Ontario it was a great time. Also they are in there thick

[@themn04]

I feel for you man. You started to sound a little crazy there for a minute! Now you have something to look forward to next year. It'll make it even sweeter when you finally land one!

[@philipniemi3780]

Thank you for showing all the real emotion of salmon fishing, Got to love it.

[@alext.7517]

Next time you come to target these fish do it in the rivers. I usually have 5-6 fish days normally in Milwaukee but depending on how many people are there it can be a lot more

[@alext4319]

Just noticed your name and had to say what’s up 👍

[@alext.7517]

[@Bigwillystyle_01]

Man that’s heart breaking bro! But still a great video! Can’t wait to see you back on them this summer!

Welcome to fall salmon fishing lol, try it with single barbless hooks like we do in the pnw, that happens alot

[@afout07]

It happens to the best of us man. We've all had that fish that got us too fired up and caused us to make a mistake.

[@willieslackjr6780]

You got me rolling 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭

Hahaha I almost cried

[@Joe_Murphy-REV_Realty]

I'm sorry that my family invented Murphy's Law. Lol ... I DID catch a spawning King Salmon in Northern Michigan in 1988. So, I have ONE to my credit! Haha Peace, Rob. There's always next time.

[@georgemarnelakis3254]

I felt your frustration all the way here in Greece my friend, hope you catch one of them next year!

[@justinmacks1481]

Fishing Pere Marquette lake this fall in my SOT 12 Kayak Let me tell you, having a 20+lbs salmon on the end of your line in a kayak in a river mouth is pretty exhilarating. Didn't land any but had two on for 5 min apiece and it's tough in a kayak. Should've been more aggressive in fighting them 😅

[@OfficialCharlieElla]

kings in still water are efin tough. pouring rain, or moonless night or both.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for the tip. Such a frustrating trip, but I do love a good challenge

[@Drewsfishingtrips]

lol welcome to salmon fishing Robert. Very frustrating but, makes the reward of landing em all the worthwhile. Keep at em bud, steelhead fishing in the winter, imo, is even harder. However, once u learn how to catch em will be piece of cake

[@NickFish007]

Love your videos man. I've been there too, never had one jump at me like that before though!

[@AJOutdoors1]

Man that was brutal.

[@ForeelFishing]

Awesome video, first vid I’ve seen of yours and loved it!

[@kingfisher7960]

@17:45 They followed the big plastic salmon.... Salmon: GOD HAS ARRIVED! FOLLOW IT!!!

[@Incuplayer1027]

I feel for you brother. At least you got to fight one and see it.

[@owengray5778]

Gotta be a weeee bit more patient/calm on the fish landing hey! Won't be doing that one again hahahaha

[@joco6851]

next season bro your going to slay-em, you deserve to after what they have put you through! your just being tested, that's all bro, you handled it way better than I would have.

[@joelzalmanowitz9071]

I feel your pain man, that looked like it really cut deep. I lost my first big Pike from the rookie mistake of cranking my drag up too fast. That feeling when it snaps you off... Still love the video, tight lines as always!!

so sick I love some kings

Muahahhaha, Capt Ahab trying to catch a fish.

you need to come up to st cloud MN we can go Musky and pike fishing

Ouch man, I feel for ya.

Sturgeon bay Wisconsin my favorite place.. I Yost to live in Brussels Wisconsin worked at the shipyard bay ship building co.

[@chrisreumont]

You got to touch it so consider it caught. You can always try again next year.

[@samwestoby140]

At least you have it on video can't eat it but it's on .

[@BravoBassin]

Man those fish really kicked your butt didn't they? Some times you win sometimes the fish win.

[@SpicyAngler]

Robert, one of your best videos in my humble opinion. Yea, maybe one of your most unlucky, frustrating fishing session But... so realistic, I enjoyed watching it. So because of it I have unsubscribed and re - subscribed immediately again cause you have deserved it!!

[@killintimeoutdoors]

Absolute heartbreak

[@slackers2184]

How do you transport your kayak from place to place?

[@cameronokeefe3579]

Egg patterns works great while fly fishing for them. They also have "egg sacks" that you can drift which have a smell and color to them. The salmon want their eggs to carry on and will attack another's egg!

[@cameronokeefe3579]

The further into this video I get I see you have figured this out!

[@robertortega9228]

Felt that

[@peterdasilva412]

I was screaming on the inside for u to grab a blade bait. Keep ur line tight bud 🤙

[@dilligaf0220]

Welcome to Salmon Fever! I gotta FEVAH' and the only prescription, is landing a King! I saw it on your first vid, you guys were burning those baits in and I knew it was going to end like this. SLOW, just fast enough for the bait to kick and keep it off bottom. It was kinda painful to watch, I was hoping you would slow it up and try different retrieves. I think you just got tired enough you started reeling slow enough to get a bite.

[@jimfullerton9211]

And that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching. I feel your pain.

[@stephenhunsicker6232]

You were trying to rush it that fish had so much more fight do you not remember how long it took you to land the last one

[@RobERob13]

Robert I was wanting to try this out this year do you recall the time frame they started spawning?

[@chaimshapiro6298]

Would have been cool to see underwater footage of those salmon in strawberry creek

Ouch!!!! That’s the worst feeling ever had plenty of those moments just a lot more f bombs lol

[@johanyak-n-surf8268]

I feel your pain. No, No.. u did not look crazy... ohhh, i thought u asked. LOL

[@Noidea242]

Salmon swim forward take them by the head even with a small net you will get enough of the fish to land him/her but static three ways are the ticket12oz weight fishing

[@Austin_Torres]

What you have experienced that day is what I have been through also bud. I had a good laugh when the rod snapped. Because I’ve done it also. And your reaction was the same as mine. Keep the Great content coming friend. Also view my content also if have time I also film from a kayak . I haven’t caught salmon before but your video has me wanting to go try. Tight lines bud

[@sully5210]

I love you, man! Watch some vids on how to net a salmon lol

[@jacobwinn5409]

You need to fish your hardware as slow as you can the longer you can keep it in their face the better. Trust me that's the main way I've been catching kings for 25 year's. If your trying to get a reaction slow is key and like you said bright color's. Fire tiger like a J-13, arctic spinner, and thunderstick jr is usually king in my experience. Also your bobber skein it's better to run a single octopus hook usually a #1 or #2 size. Tie a snell or egg loop knot open the loop at the top of the hook and run your skein through the loop and snug it down. Stays on way better and make sure your eggs are cured.

[@TheBlindShilo]

Wait... Don't salmon stop eating when they are in this stage of their life cycle?

[@liltoasty]

its okay to shed a tear. Go ahead and let it out. The next time, go to MI and troll for the King Salmon

[@AdamN04]

Lmaooo just watched where u lost the fish🤣🤣 sorry bruh

[@USRaceway]

Bro why didnt those guys introduce you to the ROE sack sooner that is the choice of bait for them large females it takes tons of patience ! We fish here in Idaho in Riggins for KING SALMON if ever come this direction to Idaho or Oregon please look me up I no some key spots . Cheers bruh keep them line tight 🤙

[@dilligaf0220]

Great Lakes Kings are all about the skein. Just not on a treble hook and leave it drifting unattended.

[@teresanderson5523]

I got to DNR infraction taken off my record I asked a judge to hear me out so they just threw it out I didn't even end up going to court.

[@paulhuval]

That was too bad you dropped that fish like you dropped those tuna 😁 oh well maybe next time and did i hear you right if you snag a fish you cannot keep it?

[@sethrery]

Robert we got to talk about your net size like seriously these are 20 plus pound fish and also your retrieve is too fast on your lures hope that helps sorry about your loss

[@tamalpias]

Robert, total heartbreak, I felt so sorry for ya. There is always next year.
