Chinook

I thought I would post a pic of my first Chinook on the yak.  Caught Sept 3/2011 on Vancouver Island in the Ocean.

Nice nook chilli!!!!

On a flyrod even.. awesome!

I would love to have caught it on the bug wand, but the picture is deceiving.  I hadn't put my fly rod away yet because I had been fly fishing for Pinks.  Caught on a flasher and hootchie combo.  I posted a video in the BC section of the forum.  It give a little more detail of what I was doing.

Mid September Ocean Chromer



36 inches, ~20 pounds

Nice piggy!  At first I was wondering why you'd have a filet table mounted to your kayak, but I see that's a catch bag.

That king is a slob!

Argh!  You guys are killing me down south.  Well the King fishing should start here in AK for the smaller feeder kings (about half are blackmouth size the other half 15 to 20 pounds) soon! 

But here'a Throwback Thursday shot...from a time before I knew it was possible to catch fish from a kayak...many many many moons ago.... 71 pounds.

Holy crap!
