The Salmon Lure that CHANGED my LIFE!

Just when my guiding career was stuck in a rut, I discovered this obscure salmon lure and it literally changed my life.
Here the story of this special plug and man other strange and rare ones as I take a stroll down memory lane in my tackle shop.

I enjoyed looking at those plugs especially the ones I've never heard of

[@fishwithjd]

Thanks!

[@ronkelly7894]

Cool video JD, I owe you one. I showed the video to my wife to prove to her that I’m not crazy, all fishermen have this many plugs. 😂

[@fishwithjd]

Ha ha ha! You know me, I'm here to help :)

[@jdsanders6852]

Very cool thanks for sharing

[@fishwithjd]

Absolutely. Thanks for watching!

[@gaylegordon2744]

Interesting Thank you for sharing 👍

[@fishwithjd]

Thanks!

[@williamcooke6056]

Great show and tell, JD! Don't be bummed, you lived the heyday of King fishing, on the front lines. Man, if some of those plugs could talk....

[@fishwithjd]

Thanks...thats looking on the bright side!

[@KyleSilva1990]

JD, just figured I would throw it out there. You ever interested in selling these plugs, I will by them and pay shipping whatever it takes. I’m still salmon fishing and will until I die. I’m not a guide trying to make a living so I understand why it’s not sustainable for a lot of people anymore. But I will travel as far as I have to for that plug bite, and my 2 year old son will not miss out on that experience either. Just wanted to throw it out there. Thank you sir

[@fishwithjd]

Okay cool. I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks

[@Mattthefarmer1]

Keep pluggin away!

[@Fishing4fun76]

Crazy because every river is full of fish.... commercial guys need a quota set point blank!

[@fishwithjd]

I don't disagree with ya but the rivers are NOT all loaded. The Feather is for sure. But the Coleman hatchery on the Sacramento River is struggling to make minimum spawning numbers.

[@Fishing4fun76]

@fishwithjd yea the big water releases from feather and American are to blame for fish favoring rivers with cooler temps and straying . I prey something changes for the Sacramento system .

[@toxictwin3006]

Ok, fellow specialist....if u had 1 plug to fish..name it.

[@robertoliver4584]

Next time, please add CC or subtitle. I always enjoy watching this show

[@fishwithjd]

Okay thanks for the suggestion!

[@jameskramer5614]

Are these for sale on kiwifish lures for salmon

[@fishwithjd]

Nope, just my collection.

[@jameskramer5614]

You have more fishing stuff then bass pro and Cabela's combined together

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

Man, just think if you would have taken all the money you spent on plugs and gear in that shed and would have invested it into a secure 401K instead in your early 20’s and 30’s 🤣🤣..😂😂…😆..😄..🥹..😏…😞 Sorry, had to

[@fishwithjd]

HMMMM that probably would have been a smarter plan...but I would have missed all those epic plug takedowns :)
