Thanks bro! Yes, it was ripping that day. Found the coho in really shallow water 2-3 feet. And fished pockets further up. The X Factor beads I fished were the ones you gave me 👍👍
Full transparency, this trip was just over 2 weeks ago. Usually I film, edit & pump these videos out much quicker but didn’t have the time for this one.
Curious about those hybrid jacks. Wonder how firm they are and coloration of the meat. But I would hate to see you waste one of your daily quota on those.
@@RTeBokkel None for me, but I didn’t fish them that hard to be honest. BUT the guy beside me nailed 2 nice Cohos earlier on the Blue/Silver Prime Lures spoon (same one I was fishing).
Interesting. I haven't heard about those hybrids in WA. I only included a small snippet of the video of this fish, perhaps I'll post the entire thing on social media and put it out there for feedback.
@@BCFishingJournal I would like to see where you got the official information that you can keep wild coho in the Sumas/Stamp River system... I looked and could not find it anywhere... please supply the url link so I can confirm that its legal and I too can go get wild coho and keep them in October, 2023
@@pjhjr8669 www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/fresh-douce/region1-eng.html Look at the “limits/gear” column for each river. Hatchery fish are specified where only hatchery must be caught. Look under the Stamp/Somass and you’ll notice language “2 per day” without the word hatchery. That means both hatch & wild. Sometimes the tidal regs will specify both. Hope that helps.
One additional note, I noticed you spelt Sumas river, but I wrote Somass river. These are two completely different rivers. So want to ensure there is no confusion over that.
Definitely a hybrid. More common are the pinook, pink-chinook hybrid which is what I think that is. Recently they found a coho and king hybrid which is super rare. I’ve heard most pacific salmon can cross hybrid, but the offsprings typically die during development stages and if they survive, they’re sterile. Cool to see in the wild though!
I was thinking some more on your comment on the hybrid. And on this there really isn’t a Pink run, there is primarily Chinook, Coho, Chum & Sockeye at this time. That said, it makes me lean more toward the Chinook-Coho hybrid. 🤷♂️
@@BCFishingJournal that would make sense. I live in Michigan so our pinks and kings run are close to the same time and spawning grounds are very limited. We end up have quite a few Pinooks around here. Read that cross species like coho and kings do happen when there are really low water events in prior years. Typically causes coho and kings to spawn side by side.
Crazy that you never had any other competing anglers all day
Agreed!
Another cool video 🙌🙌. Water looks higher than normal I guess. I’m happy beads work for you 😁🎣🤙

Beautiful fish Jesse, thanks for the vid!
Much appreciation for the feedback and watching!
Boy a lot of jacks specially this late

You are allowed 2 Chinook 2 coho last I looked.
Even food a few days ago in the pack can be enough late in the bears year.they are ravenous just before hibernating
I definitely had smoked salmon in there a week earlier. Thankfully the bear never went after it (it was in a neutral position between us).

Great question! I have have no idea. The belly was dime bright, and from what I can recall it felt like a solid fish.
@BCFishingJournal any hits on the Gibbs spoon you had on your other rod? Those are my favorite lures.

@BCFishingJournal that would make for a great video. "Hybrid Salmon. Catch, Clean, Cook."
"Is it Red?" and "Will they eat it?"
Probably up by Yale lol
Maybe Atlantic hybrid I hear they are in Washington State now

Where in the province are you allowed to kill wild coho?
There are not a ton of these systems. I was fishing the Somass & Stamp river system this day which currently allows wild/hatch coho to be bonked.

I think is some kind of weird looking pink.
Interesting thought. It certainly was a weird one! Thanks for the note.

Wow! Very cool to hear that. Certainly not my specialty, I was definitely perplexed on the river.

@@patrickpantis4987 I posted the full 1 minute video of this fish on my Instagram & Facebook page. You get a better view of it there.
Keep the jack Chinook best eating fish out there
It’s funny, I can’t recall the last time I kept a Jack Chinook. It’s been a while for sure, next year perhaps I will!
@@BCFishingJournal yes even a jack coho. I know the don't want jacks in the systems in great numbers.
