Hey you were out there at the same time ChrisPfish was. And he caught his at the same exact time as you did. On the radio you could hear the guy calling out how deep was the fish that was caught on the north river. That was the same call that was sent out to Chris when he caught his. Lol

I was wondering if anyone would notice that!!!!

Hi Dave, I always enjoy your fishing video. I'm an old downrigger salmon troller living in the northwest. Here are 2 ideas for your consideration: 1. Keep your drag tight while trolling and spend some effort getting a hook set. Most of my salmon "misses" have been due to lack of hook-set. 2. Set your lure closer to your flasher. I set mine around 21". This will give more action to your lure (or whole-rigged spinning bait), and it brings the fish closer to the rod tip to make netting easier. Tight lines!

Although I am not a fishing expert or have gone since I was a teenager, it is pretty inspiring to see your fishing videos and get back to outdoor fishing. I recently bought rod & reel. Then got many fake baits from Walmart , not knowing which one will work. Anyway, will check back on new videos.

Awesome!!! Good luck!

Two nice ones, and one heartbreak. That's fishing. Thanks for the video Adam. ✌🏻😎🎣

Generally when trolling for salmon you want to set the hook then let off some to let the fish tire out and you don't loose it buy pulling the hook all the way through its mouth

You really worked for those fish, nice fish. i guess you really miss the Oldtown, hope you get up and running.

Adam once again the fish gods smile upon you you’re still the diehard fishing master well done.

You asked at one point if there was a trick to avoiding shakers. I know in the Puget Sound one way is to go bigger on your bait. You'll get less hook ups but they should be bigger fish.

Heartbreak on that one near the end. Great vid.

what kind of gear do you use when you're salmon fishing from your yak? rod length and strength, reel sizes, and tackle/gear?

I am not dissing you for your efforts and am one of your patreon so obviously I really enjoy your content however, I would offer this. I was losing fish as well trying to land them in the kayak, I got a shorter rod (old 8.6 new 7 foot) which made all the difference!! I would say no longer than 7 feet. Keep on truck ' n

My #1 reason to use a downrihgger is to keep from dumping 2.5lb of lead off the ocean floor every time you catch a shaker.

Great catch we have trout and cat fish plus other kinds of fish to I lost a big cat fish coming in but it's fun good fishing

Gotta love those barbless hooks! 👌👌😎👍

On bleeding the fish, have you tried also severing the arteries on the tail end of the fish and dragging the fish for a bit? Wonder if the Ike jime technique will improve the quality for you.

Your best video EVER... The inclusion of your dog 🐶🐕 pushed it over the top. Keep it up😂

Love your videos

GOOD JOB DUDE!!!

I was holding my breath. How exciting!

good fishing bro congratulations

Probably got dragged around on a commercial trawler for a while before ripping itself off the hook

the thrill of victory the agony of defeat!!! that's fishing! what is that wheel on your right hand side you keep cranking?? Nice job on the salmon had some fun for the ultimate meals!! Interesting how the day starts out so sunny and nice then goes to poop with clouds!!

Hi. John from Hawthorne CA here. What is the purpose or function of the rectangular thing on your line? I think you called it a flasher??? Thanks and keep up the good work. I love your content!

Where do you launch for ocean acess, and pedal vs electric kyack? Thanks

Beautiful fish. Love fishing for salmon.

It depends on a lot of different factors but I think the highest swell I have been in is around 10'

What model of transponder do you use?

With barbless hooks and he's hot, you did a good job once figured out. He'll be a beautiful fillet. They're always good ones,eh🤣. I'm putting you out on the east coast, fish on brother!

Love your video

Awesome! What's wrong with the Old Town?

Try fishing a J plug by rapala or silverhorde.Connect your flasher to the DR ball with 4 ft of heavy mono and attatch your release clip about 5 ft above the ball, Far enough from the flasher so they don't interfer. Clip your main line to the release so that the J plug is behind the flasher by 5 to 10 ft. Alos try using a brea-away flasher, you will loose less fish.

"get my legs flowing" my legs wither away in my kayak. paddle, no pedals

Great video! Where were you here?

Nice day, BTW - especially for your late start!

Like most fishermen, you use what has worked in the past…Salmon are not leader shy fish, since using a 28” leader when fishing Hoochies is the norm….and it looks as though a shorter leader would make netting larger fish easier for you….

You shouldnt paddle so fast away from the fish when you hook them. All the pressure of you dragging them with you is pulling the hooks out when you lose them. Slow down once your hooked up and keep the line tight with your reel. Youll land more of them

Haha so i just got done watching chris fishes video and he landed a fish the same time as you i could hear the guy on your radio asking chris how deep the fish was that he just landed

use a old school plug if you want to avoid shakers.

Why do you continue to Pedal the boat, when we are fishing in motor boats we shut down the engine and then fight the fish, have you tried lures like spoons or Rapalas, just curious thanks

Hey Adam, may I ask what harbor you are launching from??

spits the hook like a sunflower seed shell? please elaborate given the chance thanks in advance!! oh and nice catch on that new lamiglass

Nice limit bro! What kind of Lamiglas is that?

3rd. i missed something, what happened to the electric kayak did it get trashed in the surf? used to fish there got lost in the fog out at deep reef got back to shore up by moss beach cove inside the reef. lots of fog, almost didn't make it out, my 19' bayliner w outboard lucky for me never hit the rocks, very scary for us, i like your channel

Tossed in the surf and shorted out.

What size kayak are you on? And also where is this?

“oh, that’s a fish!”

Hey brother, it’s not your flasher causing smaller fish. Just keep at it and weed through them but I’ve always been taught to use larger bait or lures to avoid possible smaller fish. I don’t know if that would work for you or not .

Nice!

Another good way to fully bleed a fish is to make a cut just before the tail and break the spine, then you drain from both ends.

What length rod is that?

no more electric kayak?

Let's go! Got you some gooood dinner

NICE!!!

Bodega Bay??

is Santa Cruz??

Have you or anyone you know tried the okuma cw-303d?

Where do you go out at?

I use my deep six divers more than my down riggers and have unbelievable success!

are you in southern California ? can join u in your kayak fishing trip ?

Either a longer rod or a shorter leader will make for easier landings.

flasher can go on the down rig adding a release clip 4 ft above. This way the flasher is never a issue working against you

You're a one-man Army bro

I get my smoked salmon from seabear in Anacortes WA yummy don't have to get wet.

Redemption!

The only way to get away from shakers is move to a different area.

what happen to the old town?

Try only using a 25 too 28 inch leader for bigger fish faster

When do you think Stripers will show up at Pacifica?

23:20 is that not the best way to attract sharks?

Where are you fishing in this video?

Nice pair of fish. Old town? You getting soft? Lol, jk. I think you are catching shorts because of your flasher. I don’t use 1, but have tape on my downrigger ball some 20 feet in front of my bait. My buddies use flashers and so far this year my fish have been noticeably bigger w/ less trout caught. Without the flasher it is all about the perfect spin and presentation to lure the lunkers 🤙

at roughly 28:00 shark fin

Salmon won’t get bigger for next years catch. They die when returning to river unlike steelhead.
