Nice 🎣 video Rod & Linda 😀. That was some Crazy INSANE none STOP Action 😃. I miss living in B.C 🇨🇦 🙁

[@lovethemack]

that was super fun to watch! thanks for the show. Also well done getting all that spring to take home, saves you guys having to do all the work and expense of a long coho season this year!

[@FishingwithRod]

I'll still be harvesting coho in a few weeks, or trying hard anyway haha.

[@chibzilla26]

Congrats Rod. Beautiful fish. I went on Superior Lake in Ontario last week. We caught 9 king salmons, one was 33lbs. We then caught a trout. What a great experience 🐠

[@mjdiiii]

What a treat! To go out and find fish after fish is a great day!

[@adambolding-jones8726]

Awesome! Would love to get out there one day

[@canadianhuntnfish]

[@FishingwithRod]

Love to see it. Had a wild trip this year also! Multiple double headers. Need to make my way out with Murphy one of these days 🎉

[@FishingwithRod]

You should!

[@avid.venture]

@@FishingwithRod Murphy if you’re reading this..I’m waiting for an invite 😝

[@dougg8166]

Great video!!

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks!

[@BCFishingJournal]

Massive fish so shallow, gotta love it. Fun to watch!

[@FishingwithRod]

Yeah it was unreal. Thanks!

[@nisquallydave]

Awesome video Rod! That was some crazy action. It looked like it didn't matter what you had in the water, but could you share some details? Flasher color, sppon color, depth of water and cable out? Mahalo - david

[@sgmarr]

Awesome fish! Wow!

[@caroljames3853]

Its was action stations happening there. Bet your arms were sore after that day! Good one Rod. Carol from Sydney, Australia

[@Mike-ys2rr]

That just looks like waaaaaaay to much fun.

[@thecount1001]

the biggest spring i've caught was 22. they are freight trains. i can't even get my head around catching a tyee or bigger. a solo rower/fisher caught a 43 pounder in the Tyee pool a couple weeks ago. imagine that.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Yeah, that's a great evening of fishing! Tons of fish out there this year. I thought you hooked that humpback whale there for a bit.

[@FishingwithRod]

Haha 😂

[@dmak2828]

Great video! Awesome action! It b nice to see an electronic portable scale to weigh them bad boys!

[@CurtisYpma]

Great video and action. If you don't mind sharing, when was this video actually filmed? BTW Because of your videos, booked with Murphy's on the Somas River this Fall. Keep up the great content.

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks! This was the end of June. The chinook salmon fishing has been pretty consistent throughout this summer. Which week are you heading to the Somass? Awesome!

[@topramen647]

Awesome

[@chrisheatley706]

When were you guys up there? I just went up for the first time and it was absolutely amazing. Great place to bring your own boat

[@FishingwithRod]

Thanks. End of June.

[@vanislandsurf]

I went up that area once and also had my best day of trolling. In the end we went to catch and release in shallow water, no flasher was a lot of fun

[@FishingwithRod]

The shallow bites are the best!

[@reesebender6756]

That's about half of a fishing season for us in a few hours for you!

[@FishingwithRod]

Yeah, doesn't happen too often. ;)

[@wishkidd5298]

I’m inspired, I’m camping out of Pedder bay. Goin fishin now!!!

[@FishingwithRod]

Good luck!

[@robertlipiec1975]

Epic!

[@leenasorjonen6313]

That was a great video. What part of pacific ocean were you at? Between the mainland and the island or west coast?

[@FishingwithRod]

This is the West Coast.

[@thecount1001]

between Vancouver Island and Japan.

[@basilabdulsalam1590]

I think that is too much for the environment! Catch and release! By this way of fishing soon you will see that there is not any fish left. 😮

[@FishingwithRod]

There is a time and place for catch and release. For ocean fisheries, our approach now is to catch and keep what we are legally allowed to, and stop fishing. There is always a mortality associated to releasing. While there are good practices that can minimize that mortality (like the gaff release shown in the video), the best way to maintain zero mortality is to stop fishing instead of catching and releasing more fish. As for how many is too many, that's up to the managers to determine that. The abundance of chinook salmon on the West Coast Vancouver Island that are heading to some of the main hatcheries is very strong this year, and the density shown on the sounder and our CPUE (catch per unit effort) reflect that.
