The team fish is a King Salmon (aka Chinook) upper 30lb range was caught last summer with Captain Perry of Sea Turtle Fishing Charters. The big male Chinook was caught by the Hess Brothers and was a real surprise, for all... (story below)
We had just put out our Crab pots in 100 or so feet of water outside of Duxbury reef on the opening of Dungeness Crab season, usually have a few salmon/crab combo trips during salmon season. However this years lack of fish & crab we where not expecting much... (lately more fishing less catching.)
When leaving the area that the pots where soaking, I had Joe get one of my Fly Rods out that I troll with. (see my article: Kings on the Cutting Edge) my technique of trolling with long leaders & large herring on size 12wt, fly rods can be deadly on the big fish late in the season.
This case it fooled one, real take down strike and Rick Hess had a unforgettable battle on his hands for a good half hour. It takes little practice; however once angler gets handle using my method using the liter tackle, feeling the fish's every movement and having better control , they never want to to go back to conventional rods & reels again. When the fish was ready Brother Joe did a professional job scooping the fish and all crew big smiles when the fish was safe in the box. Sorry to say that was the only strike; however, all aboard where happy.
Went back to our way points where our crab where and pulled up a dozen or so keepers. Not bad considering how poor the fishin' & crabin' was on the opener. All had a great day on the Sea Turtle.
