Underwater Salmon Bite: Egg Attack!
Ever wondered what it looks like underwater when a king salmon bites a glob of roe? Wonder no more! Here’s another round of pix I shot in Alaska this summer…

Underwater Photos: Dolly Varden attacks a glob of eggs
Okay, more from my Alaska files…Here’s a cluster of roe drifted down a run on the Togiak River loaded with Dolly Varden (some rainbows and jacks were in there too). I always cut the points off the hooks while filming (if a fish got hooked, it caused too much camera shake). This sequence is cool as one dolly rejects the bait and another comes out of the pack to eat it!
![He's hot on the scent trail now!](https://i0.wp.com/fishwithjd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/dolly2.jpg?resize=625%2C431&ssl=1)
A dolly varden lines up on the scent trail of the bait…

Underwater Photos: King Salmon eats a Glo Bug
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!](https://i0.wp.com/fishwithjd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/King-Vs-GloBug-1.jpg?resize=625%2C393&ssl=1)
Yarn and eggs…yum!
![Yep, I gotta eat that! (Although notice how he bites the yarn ball but completely misses the hook!)](https://i0.wp.com/fishwithjd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/King-globug-3.jpg?resize=625%2C471&ssl=1)

![No change for a hook-up here…the hook is still outside his mouth.](https://i0.wp.com/fishwithjd.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/king-globug4.jpg?resize=625%2C483&ssl=1)
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!
Underwater Video: When Humpies Attack!
Here’s a fun one outta the video vault that I shot during my most recent trip to Kodiak, Alaska.
