Big Lure - Big Salmon (got spooled!)

[@tepoh2018]

He is the uncle we always wanted.

[@robertstreams4362]

Love your videos...never been spooled...Whenever I get that low I just point the rod at the fish (so ya don't break your pole) and put my hand on the spool...just breaks the fish off and lose a lure not all the line ......

[@thundermistlures]

...thanks for the feedback/tip Robert :)

[@ChrisG9978]

I'm thinking you were spooled by a sturgeon (or a really large muskie)...I've never seen a Niagara river salmon or trout take line out like that. A larger spool may not have saved you on whatever you hooked into there...

[@RealisticFishing]

Damn, spooled ya

[@gr8tfishgr8tfish99]

Suggest having a glow version, night fishing is a popular method and it would be a great alternative to the glow in the dark spoons like a cleo’s

[@CrayOutoors]

Awesome video man! Crazy seeing somebody get spooled haha, I fished the lower Niagara for the first time this October, its truly a different world down there! I missed 3 salmon but landed some nice walleye, definitely going to be back next October!

[@VanGuard1020]

Wow! Spooled you clean. 😂 🐟 that was actually pretty cool. 👍🏽😎

[@samuelgonzalez3275]

Hey where can I get those fish eyeball beads I’d really appreciate it

[@thundermistlures]

easiest place is online - look for the Stingeye Spinner :) You are going to love them :)

[@reellifewithcinco7858]

What type of line was that, insane clip, exciting!!

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

Ivo Put out an facebook ad that if anyone catches a salmon with a Number 6 Stingeye in the mouth to give you the spinner and fish!!!!!

[@thundermistlures]

LOL :) :) :)

[@brandonk3920]

Got to love when u tighten the drag to almost max and it still peeling drag

[@fishinthebanks3512]

Loved it again nonstop action with u guys

[@henrymostert2125]

Never caught anything that big that would ever spoil me now I know what it looks like I feel bad for you though

[@kithphonesavath]

Nice fish, I wonder how big the one that spooled you was, i guess we'll never know.

[@thundermistlures]

... I'm thinking it was a 30 or 40 lber...I just couldn't budge him....But you are right, we will never know :)

[@chargerfish1]

1:00 mark bigfoot in the background!!!!

[@elliottbradshaw]

Caught a zombie chinook in the Napanee river this fall and it nearly had the power to spool me. They are powerful! cheers

[@user-wl7dt1uw2e]

I know all about the magnum size...

[@Mossman4u2]

You're very inspiring.

[@sirswany3230]

Love the videos Ivo! Wow I dream of getting into a fish that big. Never been spooled before. Great video!

[@Adventurekm]

Happens to the best of us! Those fish use that current to there advantage lol!

[@donnadixon8991]

great video ivo..sorry you lost the fish....i know how that feels...

[@PetarPachev]

Awesome! Greetings from Bulgaria! I love watching your videos! I've bought some of your products when I used to live in the USA and all of them are of superb quality. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to come fishing in Canada one day.

[@thundermistlures]

great to hear from you in Bulgaria Petar and hope you have some great days on the water over there :)

[@BogdanHet]

Love your video Ivo, going to spent the long weekend in Niagara for the fall colors and fishing. I would appreciate if you give some tips on getting down to the gorge (could not find the video you showed some the trial/stairs). Keep it up!

[@thundermistlures]

there is a small parking lot in front of the whirlpool golf course and if you are facing the river, the path down is to your right :)

[@GTS_Fanatic]

I finally got into some salmon after 2 years. Not enough time and bad luck but man after hooking into some what still fresh kings i can see how you can get spooled if you don’t have the proper reel. I was using 2500 reel with braid and still got close to being spooled. Needless to say not long after i got dedicated setup with a bigger reel.

[@thundermistlures]

congrats on getting into the salmon :)

[@petemoss9693]

Hello IVO - Sad you had to loose that first fish with the lost of your new stingeye spinner - it must of been one hell of a big strong fish to have your spool loose all of the line - once fishing in salt water same thing happened to me but it was not a fish but a party boat caught my lure and snapped my line lucky I had a extra spool ( whew ) good advice to let all your subscribers know to bring along a extra spool or a rod and reel - good video - keep them coming .

[@thundermistlures]

...sounds like you had a great saltwater trip :) Always great to hear from you "Pete Moss" :) :)

[@bubbspelch1134]

Good times. Love your vids Picked up some thundermist size 3 lures a gold and a chartreuse. What can i get into ivo?

[@thundermistlures]

....I like using the size 3 for bass, walleye, and trout as well, but that size will catch a variety of fish for you :) It's a bit small for salmon unless you change the hook to a bigger size :)

[@Thomaschgg]

Just block the fish before your reel runs out of line, This fish has no chance of survival anymore with hundreds of meters of line attached to it. I like your videos but this was a little stupid friend.

[@shawn4900]

Nothing less than a 4000 series reel for those beasts Ivo. Wow , wish I could get in to some salmon around my parts

[@ScreamingReelsTV]

Curious if you guys have white fleshed Chinooks in the great lakes... Since they're all transplanted hatchery fish, did any of those genetics come with them, or were they selected out.

[@thundermistlures]

...good question...not sure.....

[@Mossman4u2]

Awesome! Awesome!

[@fishingegypt8882]

Love your reaction 😄

[@jamesarnold5554]

NICE FISH!!!!!!!

[@kydop6128]

Awesome!

[@justinvanschiak3390]

Think i cleaned up your braid down stream bro

[@joeblass8040]

WOW ! !

[@Mossman4u2]

Please, I want a stingeye. How do I purchase a couple?

[@thundermistlures]

...easiest way is online :)

[@Mossman4u2]

@@thundermistlures okay, I went online and I found them. So, I'm fishing for Lakers here in Colorado. I'm using a Mitchell 300 pro on a 6'6' ugly stick 12# mono line. What size you recommend? Thanks Evo.

[@thundermistlures]

...for Lakers, we like to use the size 4 Stingeye - in fact, the very first time I ever got one wet, I hooked into a laker - here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIHJd6Bpha-Cjas

[@sawatisbillings8759]

Oh my goodness, you got spooled and...schooled! 😉

[@nj40100]

I agree with an earlier comment a break off is better than leaving all that line in the water with a lure attached as the salmon will shed the hook when the line goes slack!

[@alex111683]

I really like your lures and video. I just don't really like how you dealt with the first fish. Now it has a giant lure in it's mouth and 200-300 yards of line attached. You should've tilted your rod down and broke off or even better; you know your fishing for big fish so bring the appropriate reel!

[@magiktv1558]

alex111683 it never ceases to amaze me how individuals simply can’t, or won’t, control their “e-peen” nature.

[@markporebsky4768]

What kind rod you using.?

[@thundermistlures]

...Quantum Tour Edition Rod...it's an oldie but a goodie :)

[@markporebsky4768]

How long it is amd what power . Thank you

[@xxgg]

Braided Lines are expensive... there it goes. I always wondered why you don't use a longer rod & larger reel? All the salmon videos I have seen, you seem to use the same rod/reel. Just wondering.

[@thundermistlures]

... I should use a bigger rod & reel, but just like to have less bulk when I'm fishing :)

[@mzansi4shoo]

Hi guys, does anybody know where exactly is this spot ? Do you think can I still get something at this time of the year ?

[@thundermistlures]

.....its the whirlpool, lower Niagara river and the salmon are done for this year :)

[@scottb4540]

The only fish that's come close to spooling me is carp. But I've never got a chance to fish for salmon,

[@thundermistlures]

...carp area also know to be extremely strong and take long runs...especially the real big ones :)

[@scottb4540]

Cool. What's your biggest carp.

[@ThundermistLures1]

@@scottb4540 40 lbs - caught in Dunville ON at the lower Grand River

[@scottb4540]

Ivo Coia nicely done

[@VeteranWS]

is this canadian side?

[@thundermistlures]

yes :)

[@justinvanschiak3390]

Better beef up your pole bro fish it deep!

[@pearlwavey9051]

Wow! Love the videos and the store😂what kind of line did you use for that salmon???

[@thundermistlures]

Thunderbraid was my main line :)

[@scottb4540]

So I've got about a half dozen minnows downstairs that don't look like there gonna get used this year. Just wondering whether I should release them (back in to the same body of water). When I took them the water temperature was like high 60s and now it's in the forties. Totally different time of year, will they survive if I put em back?

[@thundermistlures]

You can slowly bring your existing water temp up by adding ice cubes a bit at a time to climatize the minnows - then you will be able to easily release them (in the same body of water) and they will be fine :)

[@scottb4540]

Thanks so much

[@cc-ty3gg]

Nice! Great channel..what knot are you using on that lure???

[@thundermistlures]

I like to use a Palomar Knot - we have a video on our channel showing how to tie this knot, in case you have not used it yet :)

[@localinventor]

Do you have any recommendations for catching freshwater striped bass with thunder mist lures?

[@thundermistlures]

...if you like using live bait, check out the T-Turn Bait rig for Stripers #17B...if you like to jig, you can use the Flexi Jigs or the Stingnose Jigging spoons...of course, the Stingeye Spinners will also work well, as will the American Smelt - so it boils down to how you like to fish for them....BTW...if you like to use topwater, stay tuned because in March, there will be a new Thundermsint Top Water lure and it is amazing :)

[@localinventor]

Thanks. Looking forward to the new lure!

[@certifiedfishingcycling9208]

How about the wet feet??! Completely unfazed! Where were u FISHING there? And what lake would you have been at if the wind wasn't as bad as it has been?

[@sdmp78]

Whirlpool...Niagara

[@thundermistlures]

...as sdmp78 mentioned, it's the lower Niagara River, Whirlpool and I would have been on Lake Erie bass fishing is the winds were calmer :)

[@juri8723]

getting spooled is the worst :( it sucks for both parties

[@thundermistlures]

...very true.......

[@askall22]

can u pls tell my the location i feel like fishing today.thanks.been watching your vids and like it

[@robertbermuhler6520]

Thats the whirlpool on theNiagara River in Niagara Falls.

[@thundermistlures]

..thanks for helping out and responding Robert....the Whirlpool is a great place to fish :)

[@scottlouis7785]

Don`t you hate that happening

[@CARPEATBREAD42]

All that line in the water......

[@magiktv1558]

CARPEATBREAD42 and you know, with absolute certainty, that he wasn’t using bioline?

[@fishwithoutfear8970]

Yes, because he totally did that on purpose......I'm sure he'd rather have had the line (and fish), but things happen
