I hate posting long uncut gopro clips like this, but I had a lot of people in disbelief that these fish were actually biting the spinner. So I want to make it clear to see that these were all strikes and not snagged fish. Hopefully you enjoy the cast to catch salmon action!

Well done mate,usually it’s pretty hard to catch them on spinners,I’ve never caught one on spinners but I’ll have to try harder!:)

Now that he caught and showed them,the haters will say that the river was full on salmon that why he caught them. But haters are haters and we shouldn’t care about what they say.

Fray, I've seen them caught on a spinner bait. YES. A SPINNER BAIT! 🤣 These naysayers don't know what they're talking about. It's good to throw in some uncut video for proof every now and again. But you know whether or not you're be ethical and you seem like a decent type of guy. Thanks for taking us with you on your adventures!

Couldn't tell ya how many times, when showing off pics, I've heard...."Nice snag, or nice floss". Haha, NOPE! Biggest one I ever caught (pushing 30lbs) was on a soft plastic. I was taking a break from not catching any salmon, and went up into one of the bayous of the Manistee, for some pike action. I was using a big, 4.5-5" "minnow"...just jigging it along some sunken brush. Just as I finished the retrieve, just a moment before it came out of the water, the salmon came out from under the boat and nailed it.

Tim Scarff the fish bitting depends where you are fishing. I live in ny, really close to the salmon river and I’ll tell you right now in the 7 years I’ve fished there I’ve seen one coho salmon actually strike a bait. This is because of the amount of pressure on one body of water, it causes them to never bite almost ever
Great vid Fray👍 Your intros with the drone shots are inspiring!! Those spinners are also deadly for steelies!! Keep slaying 🔥🔥🔥
Big fish!!!! Hearing the sound of line pulling is amazing Epic video dude 👍🏼👊🏻
Bro stop replying to everyone's hateful comments, it just fuels their fire. People keep fish, I keep fish, they taste great. Keep it up brotha.
Glad you like the honor xt man! I’m a prostaff for piscifun and love hearing the positive feedback! Tight lines!! Keep up the good work on the vids!
That first one hammered that. Catching em casting is so fun!
That 2nd salmon was a tank, good video, enjoyed the drone footage at the beginning. Really added more to the video. As always, great video, thanks for posting.

Heading over to the Salmon River in NY to try to catch one from my Kayak at the mouth of the river. Was wondering what to use..... now I know I was on the right track.. great video.
Epic video man! The hardware bite can be downright addicting
Great videos man. Been following you for a while now and this is nice that you threw in something different. Btw I love those spinners. Got them in the spring for coho and man they are killers. Caught multiple coho on them and throwing them for kings now.
Not always the most productive way to get it,but it definitely works! Pretty cool feeling when you get to feel the fish smack the bait. We always had good luck using thunder sticks for them.

I'm from washington so I'm not sure if the fish react differently but i do good on spoons and spinners. Recently I've been wondering if i could get one to hit a spinner bait i would use for bass.
Hey Frays, I recently purchased some property 887 yards from the Platte river with State Land along the river. I would like to invite you up there for some fishing some time.

New to salmon fishing smaller rivers. I bought a 10.5MH baitcaster. My intent is to float fish, but throw some spinners too. I know the 10.5 is a little long for that. What rod do you throw your hard baits on? Could I downsize on length for float fishing too? I’m used to float fishing larger rivers for steelhead with a 13ft. Thanks!
Love it, keep em coming! Ignore all haters!
Im new to river fishing. Trynna get up there before season ends. Do u think the run is still on for the next 2 weeks? Also do u think manistee or muskegon? Any tips would be appreciated to catch my first salmon and first river fish
Very cool river video!
How many lb line are you using and what brand ? My nephew and I went to the Muskegon river and had lots of hits but lost nearly every one and we ran 20 lb line but it was like they were using knives to bite ? Two shakes and the line tore ? Just wondered ...
Nice work 👌🏼

Great video! I am spending the week in Kewadin, MI. Where can I find some of those Arctic Spinners?
spoons and spinners work great on salmon and steelhead if you know how to use them right. bait works well if you sit in a hole all day casting at the same fish. spinners and spoons are best fished covering water and fishing places float and drift fisherman wont or cant fish. never hurts to fish after a bait fisherman or fly fisherman has moved through.
I've got a couple questions, 1, do/did the kings meat hold up just as good as the more chrome one? do you catch any regular run of the mill salmon, or are they Atlantic and P.N.W. that come to that part of where you were fishing? great job keeping the kings on that tiny rod and reel big guy!

Sconnie native here, they are staging in harbors along the Michigan coastline here right now about 20fow. Not many fish in the system, but give it a few weeks. Working the piers would be your best bet at the moment. Our waters are shallower than Michigan so the runs don't correlate quite as well. Tight lines

Is that a straight up bass fishing spinner bait?
Can you tell what place do you fish ? I live in wheeling IL
Idk if it works there but maybe you could try twitching a jig. We do that here in WA state and it works well
I fish the grand river, st, Joseph, white river, and the rogue river.
When you caught the second fish I was like don’t break your rod now since it was bending so much
Very cool. Betsie or Platte river by any chance. Looked familiar
What rod did you use here?
I'd like to see a link on where to get that spinner I can't find it anywhere. Sorry I'm 3 years back in your feed lol
Bass plugs work hot especially crawdads work hot
Do you think you can get away with not using a liter? I have 10lb super slick thats only got 2lb visibility.

Hey man, big fan. I am planning on salmon fishing this season. I am a medical student, and just moved out here last year. I am used to fishing for smaller trout, so I'm not sure the gear I need for salmon fishing. May I ask what line you use? Monofilament, braided, or fluorocarbon? I just want to make sure mine doesn't give out on me. Also love your posts on Michigan Sportsman
