Frog Time!

I generally loathe the dog days of summer — when it is so hot you could cook a Thanksgiving turkey by just leaving it in your car for 10 minutes.

But there is a silver lining — hot days cause all sorts of weed growth on local lakes and that means it’s time for froggin…which is a blast!

Underwater Photos: King Salmon eats a Glo Bug

July 29, 2014 By JD 1 Comment

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!

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.

The Best Topwater Bite Ever

Prepare for cardiac arrest! This pike comes out of nowhere to attack a topwater frog in Southwest Alaska and scared the heck outta me! I’m just happy I didn’t drop the camera! :)

Underwater Egg Bite

I just returned from a month guiding in Alaska, where the fishing was amazing! I shot a ton of stuff with my cameras, so over the next couple weeks, stay tuned for lots of cool pix and underwater video…here’s a quick sample: Check out this king munching a gob of sulfite roe…I think he wants it!
