Ocean SALMON Non-Stop ACTION - Westport kings and coho salmon!

This video will get you your fix of clip popping, line peeling and rod bending NON-STOP action, while fishing on the ocean for kings and coho salmon!
We've got footage a of a salmon shark coming in on our chinook near the boat. We've got a rod breaking getting a nice king into the net. Also, an epic battle with a 23 lb chinook on a knucklebuster reel!
I give my dad a hard time about his fish controlling in-to-the net skills, and of course I gotta give Ash a hard time when he long line releases a big one that jumps and breaks the surface showing an impressive 20+ lb size.
The coho are starting to get really nice out there as well, what an incredible season it has been fishing the ocean out of Westport!

I was out there also. Excellent fishing this year. We ended the season with 21 kings and 21 silvers. Plug cut herring and a flasher worked all summer 100-175’ deep

Was a beautiful thing!

Mackeral , Im assuming that the water temps might me a tad higher than normal. Thanks for video.

[@PNWBestLife]

Yeah, I believe they were! Is there a temp range you find them at more consistently? I’m kind of curious to try and catch more intentionally vs as by catch. Some people really love em

[@timgeary6461]

@@PNWBestLife I only caught them once at Nootka Sound, which was the same el nino water conditions. Ironically, my profile pic was a king I caught there that same weekend, that I caught the mackeral.

That’s cool. Yeah, gotta do some more research

[@scottstallard5426]

Awesome Video as usual! Love all the action! I see you use flasher releases. I use the Good Day Fishing release and find it to work well. A lot of people I talk to dont like them. What release do you use?

[@PNWBestLife]

Coldwater strong makes mine. Local company awesome product and great to work with!

[@scottstallard5426]

@@PNWBestLife cool i will check out the coldwater releases. I have the coldwater strong leaders and like them! Thank you for the info and thanks for putting out so much awesome content!

Time for nicer rods. The SST guides tend to pop easily.

[@PNWBestLife]

Man, I do love me those cheap Okuma’s, so you suggest the Shimano’s?

[@luhuang5405]

@@PNWBestLife I use even cheaper Shimano Scimitar rods for trolling, with noisy stainless guides but they're slow action and indestructible. I have an SST rod for jigging that I love, but the guide does pop out every now and then. G. Loomis E6X, or Islander if you want to get real fancy. I think St. Croix has a new "Onchor" rod for salmon trolling.

[@PNWBestLife]

I will have to check it out! I’ve had the okumas forever and they’re pretty durable. Some of these have been in service for 6 hard hitting seasons so…

[@luhuang5405]

@@PNWBestLife For sure. That's why I have a few and just live with the crappy guides XD

Great and fun video! I always look forward to your posts.

Might be a fast day in WA but looks like a slow day in AK 😎
