    Hmm there’s a pattern here...
    “I got hit by a boat then caught my PB.”
    “I lost my favorite rod then caught two gigantic salmon.”
    Before we know it, “I lost my leg but caught a whale.” Be safe out there, Adam! We need your content hahah.

      bungee rope etc,,,,,,,,,in case of anything, especially the main one , if i capsize,,,,,, how could you not also see the need to have every thing tied?????

    I think you could save yourself a lot of grief by letting the
    rod and the Reel do the work for you!! I've fished Salmon for over 50 yrs up north here off the BC coast, and Guided at various northern Salmon Lodges.
    We have had "barbless" hooks for ages and lose very few fish. Mostly the Coho when they jump. Even with barbed you would lose the fish if they fought long enough and enlarged the hook entry point. I prefer single action reels rather than the type you guys are using, guess it depends on what you get use to.
    With your 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 reel ratio for winding you shouldn't have any problem keeping tension, especially when they turn toward you. Even on my single action reels I have no problem catching up to the fish when they run towards me. Boat is always put in neutral when fish on and only kept moving if really windy or hard running current or the fish is really big and have to catch up to him. :-))
    Try it without paddling and let the fish run with a good amount of drag on the reel and wind like crazy if he runs toward you. Doubt you would lose any more than what you've said you've lost already.
    Found your channel a few weeks ago and really enjoy it . but I would sure like you to try the fight without the paddling Plus you will be facing the fish all the time instead of it being behind you.!
    Fun show though :-)) Love watching.

      hey erik
      id like to get your feedback if you dont mind, and maybe it will help others too.
      im down here in the SF bay area like adam (die hard fishing). ive often thought that using mooching style fishing would be a good match with kayak fishing. i dont see others doing it down here and am wondering why not? when you say "single action reel" is that what some people call a "mooching reel"? i picked up a nice used one in oregon once (daiwa 175s) and have it matched with an 8.5' lamiglas mooching rod. i have yet to try it out, but since people here dont seem to fish like that, down here your comment caught my eye.
      you see, i dont have a pedal kayak so im not going to be keeping pressure on by dragging the fish around like the pedal kayakers do. it seems to me that it would be a natural fit: salmon fishing with more traditional kayak and a mooching reel with appropriate rod.
      any ideas?
      thanks!

      A few might slip through the cracks but adipose clipped is a hatchery, not clipped is wild. Also there’s a big difference between farm raised and a hatchery fish, any fish you catch out there are definitely not farm raised! Nice fish though 😁

    Adam Your 2nd buck out did the first. You need to set your drag and let lit work. You can't be feeding out line that's what the drag is supposed to do. Set it looser or tighter and live with (trust) it. You can level wind with only your thumb; you don't need to include/involve your fore finger too. You need the fore finger to grip and apply pressure and control on your rod. 2 monkey fish off your back. I share in your relief of pressure. Tight lines and tight spins on your smelly bait... next trip video; I'll be watching for it.

      He does this shit all the time. It is so frustrating. I’ve stopped watching, cause he always complains about how tired he gets but feeds the fish line like crazy. And he always lose fish, cause when he feeds line, there’s slack. But whatever. Lol. I just thought I’d watch this one and see if he has learned, he isn’t feeding as much anymore, but looks like he definitely still does a bit. 🤦‍♀️.

    I've enjoyed your videos. Would love to go kayak fishing with you and Taku. Heading up to Shelter Cove in mid September for 4-5 days. You should come up and try for a Thresher Shark etc

    Catching some good fish eases the pain of losing a favorite rod. I recently found this out as well.

    Great day on the water, even tho it started bad ! You'll be eating salmon for weeks 👍

    I recently lost a rod and reel due to not loosening my drag and hooking up to an 80 lb shark. It was my favorite rod and reel. Seen it sink about a foot upon hitting the water and then she went for a ride. RIP Daiwa x40 and Ugly Stik tiger. At least you can say you've been through it now and you're a much better fisherman.
