Here is a link to the video I took of Abking landing a salmon in his kayak and then letting it flop out of his lap. Makes me laugh every time I view it. :smt005



If someone knows how to embed the video I'd appreciate the technical assistance.

I guess that proves that you salmon slayers of the North are still mortal. :smt003 The same thing happened to me with a 15#+ halibut before I started using a gaff...in the net on one side of the yak out of the net on the other  :smt013

oh man, boy do i know how that feels. i had had so many fish to the yak and then lost them. something about me as a person and bad mojo when it comes to using a pole and reel the fish always save their last unhook with power as soon as they get a glimpse of my ugly face.

i know how that feels x 100.  :smt010 :smt010

Ooooo!  That sucks.  Just a fraction of a second after you announced your intent to bonk it.  That fish knew what was up!

Great conditions for sure, looks summerlike.  Though seeing that video at my desk just now gave me a blair witch kind of nausea.  :smt078

But keep em coming!  If we can't fish while at work, at least we can watch some fishing!
