More cool underwater stuff from my travels in Alaska in July: Here’s a king salmon attacking a Yarnie or Glo Bug (no eggs or scent). Though I clipped off the hook point while filming, it’s interesting to see how he would never have been hooked anyway — because the fish bites away from the hook!
Yarn and eggs…yum!
Yep, I gotta eat that! (Although notice how he bites the yarn ball but completely misses the hook!)
No change for a hook-up here…the hook is still outside his mouth. In a nano-second he spit it out (off camera) but look at that other little Chinook in the background moving in for a bite!

Very cool shot. Always interested in “how does the fish take the bait?” shots!
