Salmon Snagger BUSTED at River!!! ILLEGAL FISHING
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I was just doing some bobber and egg fishing at the river, when this guy kept pulling his bare hook through the hole. He kept snagging fish that came loose, then finally hooked this Chinook in the dorsal fin, and pulled it in. He was going to keep the snagged fish which is illegal fishing. Anyhow, I got this poacher caught on camera, and was luckily able to get him to release the fish again.
Always stick to the rules guys. Fishing can take patience. That's part of the fun. No need to resort to snagging....

It takes a lot to stand up to complete strangers especially when they are breaking the law. You got my respect brother👍 keep it up!
Thanks man, anytime 👍🏻
He isn't law enforcement. He wasn't standing up to anyone. He was trying to control a stranger. That's all that behavior is.
@@virginiasolomon9352 What? Are you special?
At least most people will hear you out and listen, these guys actually tried defending themselves lmao
Yeah, don't fish illegal. The comment about holding your head under water would have been a good time for a lesson. I have no problem helping some people learn hard lessons.
I showed this video to my kids. You set a good example of what is right and what is wrong. I appreciate you calling this guys out and providing the video so I can teach my boys the RIGHT way to fish. Thank you!
..this is how people get killed
Good video to show kids correct
You are a shining example of being a good outdoorsman. Way to go for speaking up.
thank you
The term "busted" has a negative connotation. You held him accountable for his actions and taught him a valuable lesson in sportsmanship. Maybe "schooled" would be a better description.
Agreed, not saying he's a bad person, but he needed a reminder on accountability and sportsmanship. We all do from time to time, so I figure it's something worth having out there for people to see... Thank you Kevin
Sometimes it just takes making things a little more uncomfortable for the guy doing the wrong thing. Easy to do wrong when it's on the down low, a lot more awkward when attention's on you.
Schooled is cool . Until that bitch starts to disrespect . Stay up Bro, and get a ccw . Just one more safety net especially your alone. 😊
Looks like the thumbs down on this video are from people who can't hook fish in the mouth either.
We call them shitty fishermen
Happened 3 or 4 times but it was with a crankbait
There are some fish that very aggressive and miss but not that bad and not on a bare hook
Dude millions of these fish die every year after they run cmon do u feel bad for the dead fish or do u just walk past them like nothing
Yeah your gay
Good on ya, Leif! If this were allowed to happen, there's be a lot less fish to catch. You did the right thing. And stayed calm the whole time. Good job, brother.
You weren’t being “that guy.” Being “that guy” is yelling “FOUL HOOK!!! FOUL HOOK!!!” before a legitimately fishing person has even landed the fish to let it go.
This I agree with! The ass that makes such a scene of it that the person allmost wants to keep the fish just becuase this other guy is making a huge deal of it!
I always leave it up to the person that got the fish. But somtimes a suttle oh man was he foul hooked? Or something like that,will make it known that at least one person seen it! Then see what they do.
If it seems they aren't intentionally snagging and its been a grind.. Hell with it I don't say a word!
Thats me 😂😂I do that to people because a lot of them keep them and if u yell that they will get scared and won t keep the fish
Well according to these replies I guess I can raid Walmart for food so I don’t go hungry ...
#naturalselection
Dude he called him out because he carried the fish to the box , and the snagged even said ‘i know it’s been all day tho’ meaning Yh he knows it’s foul and he is planning to keep it ( if you don’t know English) how they treated the fish was not for release . So sit down , my g dint even call out foul hook foul hook ! , he waited till he started walking with the fish as asked him are you gana let it go ??
Hmmm it’s okay to break the law if I’m hungry ... dang no wonder there’s tons of raiders in 2020 , such mentality never fails to amuse me .
Maybe try to get a better job ... If u get caught it will be a nice fine ( no food for a month)
@S W if you really think they are fishing because they need something to eat , you really have no idea what your talking about , malnourished and getting Covid ? Bruh we are just talking about the ways to catch the fish here why bring other topics into this ? If they really needed something to eat they would have just used a net and dragged it along the brook ... smh your just some guy who is selfish to everything around him. Ofc no rules apply to you good sir
*flies away*
@S W you sir have proven my point that you are uneducated , you out played yourself well played 👍🏼
If you are fishing for survival snagging is just a fine if you are recreation fishing play by the rules
unless u live on a reserve or way north in the canadian boonies u have no reason to snag. most of these twats r from the states and u guys virtually never need survival fishing, if u do odds r theres not gunna be anyone anywhere near u nor any authorities to stop u and if there was u probly wouldnt be needing to snag fish.
hotudk I agree to an extent, but if you need something to survive, then you’re going to get it by one means or another. Snagging is perfectly okay where I used to live (I live in the states, used to live in a mountain range in the mid/southwest part of the US) because it wasn’t possible to get everything you needed from what you were paid. We would make use of everything we got, but if it was for fun (like I do now) I never try to injure the fish. I use barbless hooks, catch and release (unless invasive), etc. so I get you, but it’s not like all of the US are irresponsible towards stuff like that.
If it’s against the law it’s against the law. Is it ok for people to rob a grocery store if it’s “for survival”? Nice try dude.
Austin Bennett Where did you get that it was against the law? Where I used to live, again not speaking for anyone else, it was legal. Another thing, it’s never okay to rob anything from places. That is putting someone else into harms way by making them lose money and stuff of the sort. However, if you are living off the land, like what was said, then you aren’t affecting anyone else. You have to do it in moderation of course, but you get my point. Legality was never related, and you can’t speak for everyone when it concerns laws about stuff like that. There can be exceptions when it comes to laws when it’s concerning the survival of a person, so that’s not a great argument to make.
Brett my comment was directed to Larry Lancaster dude...
“Dont be a filthy butt snagger” words to live by lol. Great videos!
Oh I'll snag em until I catch the arthritis from snagging em...
Hey how about "don't buy factory farmed animals." Or you can stfu and get down from your high horse. Animals get eaten by humans and the process is often filled with extreme cruelty. God damn I hate hypocrites
To answer your question about whether you should keep a foul hooked salmon...I'm also in the PNW and I think it really depends on a lot of factors. First and foremost, if your snagging on purpose with a bare line and hook; you're wrong. However if you're running like a buzz bomb or other proper salmon gear and foul snag as happenstance...release if possible; keep if it's going to die. Just my thought.
The only Chinook Ive caught was on my fly rod was foul hooked just under the jaw. Got a quick pic, and let her go as she was dropping eggs. 31 lbs on my 9 wt :) Capilano River North Vancouver BC
Wow, that's a good size Chinook! What a great memory! :)
Under the jaw is legal to keep
@@briansewelloutdoors8404 yeah lol I was gonna say that, you could still keep it
@@rushintofishin81 yeah gill plate foward
Well done sir!!!!!
Thanks for standing up. Conversation is important.
Good on you man. Game wardens can’t be everywhere and it’s people like you that keep those guys in check. I’ve had my fair share of arguments on the river, one resulting in a fight. Usually I only pack when in the woods, but now it’s at the river too, which people should not have to. Props to you!
Yes.......not nearly enough wardens out there...........
I would say that we should all use ethics amd we should keep each other accountable......I'll pass on more wardens tho. Most of the time they are just trying to get money from you some how. God's land should not come with fees and penalties. We can limit the catch or kill, but all the reasons you can get ticketed for dumb stuff is ridicules.
@@Rackus82 "I would say that we should all use ethics amd we should keep each other accountable." because that works flawlessly every time
I know for a fact that you got whooped
@@JohnWickkkkdefinitely these lames think they are cops lol
I mean some people fish to eat. They don’t care how they get it they just want food on their table. So In that case I mean if I need to eat imma do whatever I gotta do. But if it’s just for sport snagging Is a little like cheating. That’s just my opinion I know theirs laws but a fish is a fish people gotta eat. Snag or legit catch it’s still the same fish and same food.
The respect I see come from you is the way my father taught me as a kid. I'm 37 and I still pick up trash when I fish or hunt and am fortunate enough to still go with him all the time. Keep it up man. I found your channel like 6 months ago and have almost caught up on all your content. You inspire me to get my butt out in the woods way more often lately.
nope, if the fish doesn't take the hooks into it's mouth it's snagged and snagging is a scumbag move.. only thing more you could have done would be to call WDFW and stay there for 15 hours til they get there.
Agreed. And LOL - at first I was like..."yeah right"... then finished reading 🤣 So true. I've called WDFW on some guys at Lake Sammamish before. Warden shows up an hour later. Sits in the parking lot for 15 minutes, then leaves without doing anything.... WTF
You guys should see the upper green people were at there with barbed hooks snagging and keeping pinks. There was even a fish counter out there that didnt do nothing
@@jomars7435 i grew up on the Washougal why anyone wants to snag those nasty old tules is beyond me
@@NWFishingSecrets I hope your proud of yourself !! Big man
@@gabriel9377 More proud, now that he's pissed you off.
I've released keeper walleye because they were foul hooked, I've also kept trout that had been foul hooked during the dog days of summer when they were unlikely to survive being released (fishing deep diving crankbaits for bass it happens occasionally).
I don't set out to snag fish but how I handle the situation is dependent on the likely of the fish to survive.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with keeping them as long as it was snagged accidentally
nah this guys a karen bro haha
Lmao I hardly keep any fish, I catch alot of salmon and steelhead throughout the year and I only legit keep maybe one. I hardly can finish eating the salmon or steelhead before the meat gets freezer burn too, so I don't see the point in stocking a freezer full of fish. Good call, I've seen worst than that kid, I've seen people use a muskie spoon setting the hook in water lol
Good on you. I've switched to the same principle. I only keep what I can eat fresh without freezing. No need to limit out every time. And yes, sadly people do far worse than this dude....
Try smoking the fish you catch, makes it disappear quicker. ;)
I only keep reserve brood stock they put into lakes.
rickiex same people in Wisconsin I’ve seen would snag for salmon with a muskie lure just to keep the salmon and same for Minnesota also I’ve seen people use big ass hooks to snag the salmon
rickiex same here. I just pull my sharpee out and write “I caught this dumb fish” on its body and let them go.
rickiex same here. I just pull my sharpee out and write “I caught this dumb fish” on its body and let them go.
I was recently in Arches National Park and a couple of foreign dudes were pulling out their drone, so I'm like "dude you can't fly that here, nobody wants to see or hear your drone in this beautiful place which is why it is against the law, and there are signs literally everywhere saying so, it's a massive fine and somebody will turn you and your vehicle in, and there is no way out of here without getting caught"...the guy looks at me and says "Thanks man I had no idea" so I pointed to one of the signs like fifty feet away and said "ok but those signs are literally everywhere, and the rangers tell you that when you come in the gate"
He then said he was sorry and didn't know it was that big a deal, so I told him about some beautiful spots he could fly to his hearts content..
I saw him later that day and he thanked me again for saving his butt.
Bro nobody asked
@@Corneeelius goes for you too asswipe
Yea asswipe? But I don’t fly drones
theres one loophole to this, just go riiight outside the gates and takeoff, fly the perimeter where you dont bother anyone, still see the same sights basically. I dont think people realize how destructive a drone could be in the national parks if they crash in the wrong spot
@@MIAdventureLife exactly
An outstanding example of being a great outdoorsman! Bravo! Wish we have more people like you, my man!
When you’re standing elbow to elbow, in a pool the size of a small swimming pool floating or chucking your spawn, beads, flies, whatever through a pack of fish, you are all snagging. You can’t avoid it. You even said it, you all were letting them go afterwards.
Problem with this is he’s intentionally doing he’s running a hook through the bunch no bait nothing
I see only one fish he snagged then release it.
Did you see how colored up the fish where who would want to keep one
I’m a snagger, I just snag them in the mouth. Everyone knows during spawning season the fish don’t eat (they might get aggressive and nip at bait hitting their face though).
Fishing to spawning fish is trashy and pathetic, they don’t have fucking *hands* so they grab shit with their mouth to get it off of their redds. Grow up
I don't see whats wrong with snagging fish. In Australia it's often a method used to catch filter feeder mullets.
Made the right call. He looked like a local snagger.
Apparently he had been snagging since opening day... Sad. He'd likely even catch more fish if he fished legitimately.
@@NWFishingSecrets true that if he learn how cure eggs right. Oh in cascade river there same problem.
lol some good eggs go a far way! This problem seems to be everywhere...
Nah he wasn't a local
@@supra.crunch he's from Orting. He's local.
Let’s go fishing! My dad passed away and I no longer have any fishing buddies.. I live near the sandy too👍
Aww man that sucks. Sorry to hear that, even though I’m so late.

Dude I have literally binged 90% of your videos in the past 2 days. Got my itch to get back out there and tomorrow I'm doing a solo day trip! Love the content!
LOVE THIS CHANNEL. This guy brightens my day!
I caught some guyss over here snagging at night with spot lights and 3oz weights attached to treble hooks. It was just me and 4 of them. So I played nice and called the warden when I got to my truck.... I wasnt trying to get my ass kicked lol
Good call! Yeah, that could have ended badly..... Thanks for calling them in 👍

Bunch of snitch bitch's if I ever seen..How about it's their fine when they get caught, if they get caught.

@@jon3016Right on brother tell it how is !
Always follow the rules... where I fish I see clowns every 50yards snagging, sometimes I feel like I need to be that guy saying something. Gets me in trouble sometimes though. You did the right thing
A good reason i conceal carry.
Chris H cmon... thats not a reason to conceal carry. No reason to bring guns into stuff like this
Just open a can of whoop ass brother. Laws are in place for a reason I hate following driving laws but I follow fishing laws to the t
@@colinrogers9927 well said. Have no problem with people owning guns and using them as last resort. Then we got idiots thinking its ok to escalate things over a fish and shoot it out need be.
@@chrish5224 A terrible reason to conceal carry. You’re gonna get trigger happy over an argument on snagging fish? You deserve to get your licensed revoked.
Honestly what’s it matter 5 minutes earlier the fish was in the open water where trollers were dragging Mike wide nets scooping them up. Lmao. Guys like you are something special
Me and the gf have loved watching your vids lately!! Good on you for saying something to that guy!! You’re honestly one of the few people out there that genuinely cares about everything you can and it’s awesome to see!!
I found the video educative for people like me new in fishing and don’t know all the rules yet. and wow you have courage to stand up for the right thing and keep the sport clean!
Whatever area you are fishing you can call the department of natural resources and get information or you can go to a local angler store and grab a rule book.
@@ML-ks2lj The DNR does not manage game and/or fisheries in any state I've been to..
I’m not a fisher but if your keeping the fish, why does it matter if it is hooked on the mouth or the fin?
It seems like an arbitrary distinction.
Dude! He had a wife beater on, bet he was a tough guy. I would've been to scared lol 😆 😂
If I was hungry and that was my food for the night , doesn't matter
Yeah man - honestly that guy wasnt dying in the wilderness looking for a meal to survive. Glad you posted the video
Good for you man! I fish the tributaries out of lake ontario and erie in pa and ny and you run into a lot of foreign ppl snagging like crazy in ny and they get so mad when confronted. The whole reason those areas are great fishing spots is because the majority of anglers follow the rules which allow the fish to populate and grow.
You should know that the host of this channel is foreign. He’s from Germany and is the one telling the native born Americans not to snag fish. So I don’t think whether someone is foreign or not means much at all. There are assholes from everywhere, and whether they are foreign doesn’t mean shit.
Being foreign is irrelevant to snagging fish, unless you intended to express another point.
Dude thats my buddy and his wife on the other side of the hole!!!! Hilarious man. We do that all day long there. Good on ya, love it.
No way! They were awesome. Hoot to fish with 🤣
@@NWFishingSecrets just shot him the link, as soon as the water clears back up from this rain its coho time. Completely blown out right now.
You should let me know next time your close to Puyallup or Nisqually location. I fish those spots a lot.
Kid probably spent hundreds of bucks on license and tackle. Probably didn't get much fish to eat after that. The government doesn't care about this country just money and control, so snag on , poach em. But take only what you'll eat
No! People that don't follow fishing rules, should be given hefty fines and on top of that, they're not classified as fishermen, their poachers. You did the right thing! Thank you. I don't think they had the intention of letting it go if you didn't step in. You spoke for the animal and possibly saved many more ❤ Thank you for doing this.
Right decision all the way. I finally hooked up with a coho. Had to release 2 other's. Super fun fishing here in the PNW of Washington. This Tennessee bass fisherman is hooked on the salmon fishing for life. Awesome channel.
YESSSS!!!! Congrats on your fish! Washington has some awesome fishing, so I'm glad you're enjoying it and finding the videos useful! Fish onnn!! 🎣
@@NWFishingSecrets Yes Sir your videos definitely have been helpful. This state definitely can keep any avid angler busy. Fishing here is top notch. Keep up the good work on your videos.
Thank you Howard! Will do!
They may of been teenagers but they knew right from wrong and knew they snagged it good call out on them
I can't wait to go salmon snagging! Only I'm gonna do it legally in my local lakes during snagging season for fish that have already spawned and given up.
They nut, they die.
@@wiliamboyajian1192 lmaoo
It’s been a long day, well this is a sport, if you really want to eat salmon without any rules go buy it in the store.
Well put 👍
Some people up there fish to eat not sport. I was a poor ass little kid up there and if I didn't snag as a little kid I would have starved. There are alot of drugs in that area and that's how alot of the poor kids eat. You gotta do what you gotta do sometimes even if it's against the king's orders.
Its hardly a sport if there is no points.
This is how they legally fish for paddlefish on the Missouri River….🤷♂️
3 point or better, spike only, don’t shoot turkey on the fly, don’t shoot geese and ducks on the ground or water, cannot use crossbows in bow season, can’t use 209 shotgun primers in muzzleloader, barbless hooks only, cannot use non expanding broad heads, cannot spot light varmints during big game season, cannot use electronic callers for turkey, on and on and on….. might as well take a lawyer with you into the woods.
From one avid fisherman to another. You did the right thing to say something. I would have done the same. 👍
Thanks man! 🤙 🎣
🙏
Ik about to go salmon fishing myself. What kind of line do you use. I was thinking about using straight braid but I see you were using flouro. Wouldn’t they snap you off
Use braid as your mainline, and I use 15lb mono/fluoro for my leaders! Never use straight braid to the hook, as you want the flex from the mono/fluoro as a "bumper", so the fish don't rip the hooks from their mouth. Hope that helps! Good luck!! 🎣
NW Fishing Secrets cuz I always figured the salmon would snap me off w/ flouro? I’ll take your advice tho. Thanks dawg
You could use polypropylene in that water and catch just as many fish
Sorry I don't agree. With grocery prices skyrocketing and salmon averaging about $8 - $11 a pound I think we should be able to take at least one fish however means possible. Furthermore anyone putting a hook in a fishes mouth then stressing them out with a capture "for the fun of it" is cruel and asinine.
Good old carbon river. I ever see you out there I’ll shake your hand. I call almost everytime cause of that exact reason.
Common issue there 🤣 🤙
Not a good idea to shake hands these days! Lol
Mark Zeidan says who
brandon wilson CDC guidelines! 😊
If i ever see either of you kooks in town you're ass is grass
Respect to you brother, some people call them fishermen but all they do is cheat the system and its not fishing if you aren’t doing it correctly keep up the awesome feed man.
I didn't know about this but thank you for educating me. I love fishing and love to eat fish but I also respect the rules like everyone else.
Just found your channel and love what your doing. I’m from the Olympia area and have fished the Sound for years. I’m just getting back in to fishing and ordered a new kayak yesterday. I plan on fishing all year round in MA-13 or any other areas that look promising. Squid should be getting good soon to, I’ll try my luck at the Stilicoom docks in November.
Glad you found the channel man! Happy to have you 🤙 definitely doing a squid video soon 🦑
You're awesome Leif . Takes balls to stand up to one guy yet along a group of guys in the bush . Much respect. Glad the fish have you to stick up for them
Don't know why anyone does a thumbs down on this. Snagging is poaching. Taking a picture with an illegally caught fish. Cool buddy. Glad you called that clown out.
“It’s been all day” 😂😂
Lol right?
Good job calling him out 👍🏽
Called fishing 🤣
NW Fishing Secrets exactly, but congrats on your channel blowing up !!
Ya I know right so boys if u don't catch a fish all day it's ok to snag lmao who says that
As long as the tribes are netting the rivers I don't see this guy as doing anything wrong
im a staunch republican and even i believe they tribes deserve the right to net. Its been their way of life for a long time and theres not that many of them left. If we let everyone do this there wouldn’t be any salmon left. If you want to dip net maybe move to alaska.
@iShowUnusualBehavior the problem with that is that they are DESTROYING everything in thier path
Lol natives are the worst affenders not all but definitely a majority in British Columbia they target sockeye end up killing tons of steelhead and coho and just dump them back in the river daily I've seen lots of time the net's sitting in the rivers for a few day's full of dead fish.saw a full smoke house size of a barn all the fish thrown to the dump because a row of fish was facing the wrong direction and wold bring bad luck to the band. and there bizzy selling the fish steady 80% of them not just for food and the COs turn a blind eye because of there status card and will get the old your harassing us card and this is are traditional ways😂but is it
If you’re catching the fish to eat I don’t understand why it’s a big deal because it will be in my belly soon enough.
I get into arguments all the time with snaggers! I once threw a guy in the river for snagging and trying to keep fish. There’s laws in place for a reason. Stick to them! Or you’ll come across a guy like me that doesn’t put up with it.
Tyler D there’s also laws against throwing people in a river... for a reason. Better stick to those laws too haha
Lmao yes there def is. I’ve been good haha been a long time since I made someone swim lol
Tyler D haha I’m just giving you shit. It sure would be funny to watch a swagger going swimming for his actions.
Butt snagger best I ever heard, your the real man in that situation
lol I always call it "butt snagging" 🤣 Thank you Randy
Hooking fish in the mouth makes you a saint. Hooking them in the back make you the devil. Makes perfect sense.
I was recently fishing for bass at a lake and I was using a crankbait. A steelhead that was 10 pounds 9 ounces got snagged on my bait in the tail and I did not have the proper equipment to land it so I fought it for a half hour and when I tried to release it the fish went belly up because it was too tired from the fight. So I kept it... was that the right thing to do?
not gonna throw back a dead one lol
Yeah, that's the right thing to do, if the fish won't survive, the least you can do is make sure it's not wasted. If you don't eat the fish(if you don't are you really a fisherman?) Give it away to another angler. Here in bayou la batre we do it all the time.
Steelhead in a lake on a crankbait? Forgive me for being skeptical but this sounds like a fish tail
@@speedbird1598 it's more common than you think, just a case of really unlucky circumstances
@@Junglehunter677 If that truly happened I would call that a miracle
great job man. Always uncomfortable stepping up to do the right thing, but you did the right thing there. Keep up the integrity!
I saw a father teaching his young son how to snag Salmon and Steelhead at the Herman's creek outlet on the Columbia river once. And at first I thought they were using a corky, turns out they had these pretty big red hooks and a weight on their lines. I did not say anything, however, after watching your video it makes me think I should've. They ended up leaving with 4 nice fish.
Nope let the fish go it was fouled hooked and that’s just part of fishing.
This is intentional snagging not foul hooked.
Hell no there is a law for a reason he needs to catch like a real fisher and do it right
With a crossbow? You know that's legal in some states...
Hooked in the mouth
That how you fish
Yeah idk if bowfishing salmon is legal in any state lol
Thanks I just learned a new fishing trick
I'm surprised he didn't try to fight. That's a problem I have ran into a lot on the columbia tribs
CC all day. 2A!
I bet! Heard of that kind of stuff happen too. Luckily everyone else at the hole started to speak up too. At that point he gave in. Thank you for watching! 🎣
Any place where salmon run is a good place to get in a fight
A fish is not worth putting an assault conviction on your permanent record. Definitely not worth a manslaughter or murder conviction. Say something, if it gets heated, call the police. Please don't be trying to shoot people while fishing.
Jesus christ is the alpha and the omega the beginning and the end dont put a stumbling block in front of your brother man c'mon!!!
I'm so glad to see that your so honest 😊 thank you for speaking up 👍
while fishing normally of course nobody would complain of keeping a accidental snag, but purposefully fishing in a manner of witch to hook a fish anywhere but in the mount is illegal and is poaching, weather they keep it or not.
I don't really think it was because it was foul hooked, but more so because they got a fish and you lost yours. I'm sure if you would have landed yours you would have stayed silent. Congrats you saved a salmon another few weeks of their life till they spawn and die anyways. Not pro snagging, but not anti.
I fish for sea trout on the fly in the dark and there are times where to get back out on to the bank I’ve turned my head torch on, and I’ve seen some huge fish, salmon as well hugging a rock. I can see how snagging fish at night has been used by poachers as the fish are like rabbits in the headlights. Still even after a fishless week on the fly it’s never once crossed my mind to do this, not just because it’s illegal but because it’s unsporting and these magnificent fish deserve better.
This guy is the fisherman KAREN. He could of been nicer and more political about the entire situation. Guy just wanted a picture and Karen was just being pushy and all on the guys nuts like give the guy a second Karen.
Why does it matter? if you are going to kill and eat the thing. Not in it for sport, I'm in it to eat. So why toss back a perfectly good fish you plan on killing and eating?
I appreciate you doing that it matters morally and legitimately regardless of circumstances
I got a picture of a guy here in Arkansas who snagged a 80+lbs blue catfish and kept it but its legal to do so here sad to say it literally takes no skill or patience
Day by day this channel is growing on me.
Im just on the other side of the border in Vancouver BC, i see this sht every time around this time as well and always make a fuss. Props to you - Subbed.
Seems pretty universal once the salmon come in... Just ain't fishing... Glad you make a fuss about it, and stoked that you're subbed 🤙 🎣
I used to be this way. Now, I would rather go home alive or without bruises and stab wounds. 😅
Agreed, good call. Sometimes it's hard to speak up. I see this so much in Alaska.
Just report it to be safe! They'll be around fishing or with you in the crowd and without any warning after retention you'd be ask for your Fishing license and ID to write you up a hefty Citation and confirmations of all your catches and equipment's used to fish and you'd be lucky if your transportation is not confiscated and serve time too. Read All the fishing and hunting regulations and consequences before you start the activity. Learn and know it.
I appreciate it. Thanks man. As someone who is just getting into fishing I thought I would be Fish Hungry and want to keep every fish I catch but I have come to realize its super satisfying to catch what you need and release what you dont.
Snaggers piss me off.
But.. if dude said, im hungry and had nothing.
Id toss him the pepper.
Beautiful, one of the best yutuber
Thank you for those kind words ❤️
Really love this channel man. I'm just getting into fishing and thought what difference does snagging make if you're gonna eat the fish anyways but this video led me to do some research and I get what the problem is now.
Salmon snagging is actually legal and common in some places. In fact I have some snagging gear, though I never really got much enjoyment out of it. however I now live in Oregon so I leave that snagging gear at home.
If keeping to eat I can't guess as to what the problem would be. I do know the fishing community can be incredibly incredibly toxic. I don't like catch and release to start but snagging and realesing deserves a smack in the chops.
Foul hooked is different than snagged. I would say that. Not sure they should be treated differently, but that being said, it’s normally illegal to keep so then the answer is to throw back regardless of ethics.
The greatest part of this is when the snagger ask the douche to hold his head underwater cause the fish wants a pic too🤣
You made the right call years ago when I still lived in Washington I was fishing north beach by deception pass bridge from shore for pinks and I accidentally snagged one right in the butthole lol but as soon as I got the fish on shore and realized it was snagged it was immediately released. If this guy you caught on camera and confronted was acting that with all those people around I'm quite certain he would have kept his snagged fish.
Actually Adam you can keep foul hooked fish in salt water. You cannot intentionally snag or attempt to snag, but if you're fishing and foul hook one it's legal. We foul hook fish when we're trolling.
It's bad enough that the feds, state and utility companies have decimated our fisheries, but come on man, snagging fish... Give us a break...
Snagging purposely is not cool, he's a young kid, hopefully learned something that day.
Guarantee you he didn’t learn a single thing.
@@D901694 lol, you very well may be right
I don’t wanna be that guy but I’m gonna be that guy.” ??? Really
Here in the UK i've thrown a few Polish/immigrants in the water that have tried stealing fish from our waters/lakes etc.
Nope you did the right thing. I lived in Wa for 11 years and love fishing for salmon. Forward of the gill plate and if you foul hookem let it go. Fishing with a barbless hook definitely tests you fishing skills. Tight lines!
Good on you man. It probably has been all day if he's fishing a bare hook. 🤣 What an idiot. Keep up the good work.
Quite likely... Would catch more fish if he put some eggs on there! 🤣 Thank you Denny!
Nice on the bare hook! Its like that on the upper Rogue, i hate salmon season up here, they put a piece of yarn on the hook and its bait?? Its basically a bare hook, thing is %99 of all salmon up here are snagged. There are the occasional fish that will be hooked in the mouth but chances are they are hooked from the outside in, wich technoly they are snagged. If any of you have done any sockeye fishing in Alaska you know what im talking about, instead of calling it snagging they call it lining.
I was fishing the Root River in Racine, WI above the weir and had to call some guys out on the island above the wier. This was 20 years ago... Man how time flies... Now I fish the Kenai and it's amazing how most of the tourists are the best and most lawful, but many of the locals seem to think they own the fish, It gets irritating, but if you call them out everyone is always happy you did... The rules are for everyone and this guy snagging a fish from the hole just means there is one less for everyone doing it the right way...
Nope right call I don’t like poachers I’ll fight one I don’t care you do that around me if you don’t like it fight me I’ll release it for them zero tolerance
Oh I like that version..... I'll save that line for next time if you don't mind?!?! 🤣
Then you get your ass beat n call the cops saying he started it ya ya ya internet tough guy
saltwater angling you’re a clown my dude, snaggers are idiots. Fighting is not a good idea on the water as people have weapons. Why you’re defending snaggers though, is beyond ridiculous. You obviously snag them, i recommend you figure out how to fish.
@@theunluckyfisherman4845 only way to catch salmon is to snag. I've been on tribs all my life they don't eat once they enter streams fuck tard
Nah.. I wouldnt fight I don't think it's a good idea.. what if you get beat up? I would have just called them out that it's illegal to do that!
You made the right call! People need to have a healthy fear of breaking the law.
Fear the Democrats that are trying to ruin the country
Okay 1, did he snag it on purpose? 2 willing to bet you that fish was gonna die after the spawn anyways. 3 90% of salmon fishing during thr run is snagged because they run into the hooks. Your bobber your using to suspend your hook with a egg sac? Yeah snagging. When salmon run they dont eat. Once in a blue moon they will. I get what your trying to do and all but odds are the mature salmon die at the end. And way i see it better to have someone put it to use than waste it.
Good job man! It takes balls to do something like that near complete stranger! Just got into your channel and you are great! Keep goin!
It's a great idea until it's not a great idea.
