Underwater Salmon Bites: King chasing down a spinner

November 6, 2016 By JD Leave a Comment

You can learn some very interesting stuff by seeing whats going on below the surface. Check out this cool sequence I shot of a king salmon chasing down my Spinner Dave’s Custom Designs spinner. Again I used the trusty [easyazon_link identifier=”B00R8I6W5O” locale=”US” tag=”fiwijd-20″]Okuma Waterwolf[/easyazon_link] Camera and rigged it in-line on my leader about 3 feet up from the lure. I trolled it downstream at about 3 mph and got some sweet footage…

 

He’s in hot pursuit…

Right in the corner of the jaw…

Notice how the line in this next shot has gone slack as the fish swims towards the boat…

Now he knows he’s hooked and the big head-shakes start…

The violent head-shakes are why the bite look so cool on the rod!salmn-chase-8
