Sure hope for all your guys sake that your state manages better then my shit hole. We use to be crushing the kings by now man, I freaking miss it so much. This year the whole fishery is closed, but even in the few years past; just isn’t even close to what it use to be. I won’t say that I didn’t manage some fish last year, but it’s a sad state of affairs here in Northern California. I normally make a couple trips to the rogue and troll around the bay, but it has been so damn crowded and such a shit show the last few years and that was with our rivers open. I can’t imagine how jam packed it has been this year, from a few buddy’s I have that made the trek. It was just not the type of fishing I enjoy anymore. Least I can enjoy videos like this and remenice on what it use to be like for us here in Nor Cal. Waters just more cost effective then the fish that call these rivers home for years. So sad. Thanks for sharing
yea that sounds terrible, it’s been up and down around here this was an awesome sockeye year as long as we get decent rain the coho should be good but salmon fishing is in decline here too especially steelhead just hear stories of how awesome it used to be back in the day but i try to make the best of what we still have, thanks for watching!
@@BoykoOutdoors yeah man. I’ve been hearing that the steelhead are struggling. We don’t even get a coho run anymore down here. Well at least not a decent one, hatchery’s are trying to reestablish runs but it’s just not working. Steelhead is horrible here as well man. Found 3 fish total last head and I went up and down our whole north coast, sad stage of affairs. I hope that something happens and these fish get the proper funding and care that it takes to get them back to a decent number. My 2 year old son needs to be able to experience some good fishing, I’ll be heartbroken if he doesn’t. Thanks for the chat. Take care
No down riggers too? That's awesome!
yea I was surprised how simple the set up was!

Ben is an awesome fishing guide, great video though and those are some nice big fish!
He really is, second time fishing with him and did not disappoint! one of the best fishing trips i’ve been on. thank you!
Looks like a good day of catching...but you might want to check the regulations. Only one fin clipped Chinook is allowed.
Think they had 4 guys on the boat and one of the five fish was a coho. 5 guys if you include the guide.
Sick video
thanks bro
