I appreciate your sentiments on hard work is the key to achieving success in ones life. It seems like too many these days expect something for nothing. Love your vids on Port Hardy as well!
Yes, there are some Big Springs in Rivers Inlet. In 1976 I was a Guide at Good Hope Cannery Lodge,... The biggest fish that was landed that year was by another guide from Victoria. He caught it (with no guests onboard) out at the Mouth of the Inlet, just a big Cut Plug herring and an 8oz Banana weight (no Flasher) He played it for 4 hours, ,... It weighed out at just over 70 Lbs.
Extra points for slowing the boat down to idle on a nice fish. So many videos (and guides) cranking along at full troll speed with a fish on.... "Look at that one taking the line! What a run!" I think some of those guys gas it up for effect! Love all your vids.
nice piece; super rewarding; I fish for wild kings in SE Alaska; inside waters; Your video is so professionaol and caring ...........respectful; I always put my boat(Duckworth/offshore) in neutral when we have a nice fish on. It is sad that we no longer can fish for Taku or Stikine wild fish; but they are caught by many as they move to inside waters.
Lol been there, my budy learned the truest definition of buckle buster , right of the wall , I came in to close, my line briefly snagged, his went down ,mine came loose ,his was a 30 lbs king ,no skin in back of fingers lol ,I got a 28 lbs chum and a limit
Great reel I’ve caught lots of fish with mine smooth drag hold a good amount of line the brake system works well I’ve even used it in saltwater washing it immediately after use and I’ve had no issues
B-MO its so awesome to watch your videos man.... Salmon fishing in the NW/Alaska is what I was born for... appreciate all your content man! Tight lines!
I worked at a resort there for 10 years. In the 90's it was not uncommon to see 20 tyees on the dock from a morning tide. Now? Nope. Good times long gone.
Thanks for the great video, Rivers Inlet is indeed a special place. I been fortunate enough to two land two chinook there. These are powerful fish, and one quickly understands why the reels are call knuckle busters.
1992 I couldn't BELIEVE Canfor (Canadian Forest Products) were allowed to log down to within a 100 yards of the water, at the Inlet spawning entrance. It changed the rivers run; count barrels were left high and dry. I know, as a BC resident for decades, that Canfor is basically a political employment dump for high end politicians, but this was a mess.
6:25 "Right rod to rocks" doesn't always jive with the Collision Regulations in the Cananda Shipping Act. =/ "That guy" on channel 16 screaming at others about who has has right of way usually has never read them. I just follow the general rule of don't be "that guy." Awesome fishing adventure though! Must be nice indeed!
I love fishing, i really love fishing, ive had boats but i dont have or do very many others afford or own a $300 hundred grand boat and can afford 16 gallons an hour on gas (he says it economical...lol) thats 64 liters x $2.00 a liter only$128.00 Dollars an hour. Must be nice to be rich or work on a tv show about fishing and have access to such adventures. How about filming a fish show thats not for the rich.
Not gunna blow smoke up anyone's ass. Hard work and sacrifice means nothing if you don't tell the struggle. Anyone can say that and expect sympathy. I don't bullshit with anyone.
Another awesome episode!
Thanks! We’re glad you liked it!
Great video. Huge fan of your videos and hockey game. Just bought myself a hoodie before I head up to bamfield this week!

I love this kind of DIY trip. Even if you're not catching fish like you want to you're still learning things for the next time.
Absolutely! It’s a great way to get out and learn quickly

We used to catch Koeye River Coho in Rivers Inlet, thought to produce the largest sized Coho on the coast.

Should try for halibut at Dawson landing, biggest I got was 165 pounds
I think BMO might wanna invest in a set of scales...it's close to 30?? Must be a 40 pounder 🤣

Yes definitely don’t be that guy! Thanks for watching!
That’s why it’s called fishing not catching😂🎣
That’s true. Sometimes you just got to put the time in!
You lost because knuckle buster reels, they are to slow
That roll was terrible mate, huge tail kick
