In some og the rivers, that would definitely be a good idea here in Norway as well - like in Gaula and Nidelva, where they catch a lot of really big salmon. In this particular river (Storelva) the fishing starts a mere 15 feet from the waterfall and only fly fishing is allowed.

I (camera man) jumped into the river to help land it, then fell under and filled my waders 😊 As you see from the movie, the phone/camera went under with me. So no need «feeling it was fowl hooked» 👍
Congratulations on catching such a stunning fish, and for being such a skillful fisherman! I love to catch and eat wild fish (I would rather not eat a farmed one). When I catch a very big fish, I usually eat it; I have eaten lots of salmon almost as big as this one. When fish of many (not all) species reach a certain size, they are so old that they are not going to live very much longer anyway. This is especially true of a large salmon running up the river from the sea; they are there to spawn and will then die straight away. I never have qualms about killing a fish, or any other game. If there are not many of them, I would not fish or hunt them. And a lot of released fish do end up dying shortly after anyway, due to being handled. In general, even though I love to fish, if I am not going to eat them, I will leave them alone. That has always been my policy; although I do sometimes release fish for various reasons.
That's my policy too. Unless I'm going to eat it I don't fish or hunt. I do both but only to eat and or tan skins and eat. Personally, I don't like catch and release because in reality many fish do die due to poor handling and or infections from hook wounds/breaks in scale covering and or excess removal of slime.
A gravid female fish, stuffed with thousands of eggs headed up river to spawn. In my experience big salmon don't taste near so fine as a grilse, and having eaten of a couple of big ones years ago I have never killed one. Hell of a fish to land, just a shame you didn't let her go. You don't look hungry.
@@BushCampingTools that's not true. Research confirms that 90% of catch and release salmon return on their way to spawn. If you don't release them they have no chance at all. If most fish die after being released then how do coarse fisheries keep in business? Once the salmon are gone they are gone forever.
@@truthteller8567 Once a Salmon has spawned it dies, they do not return anywhere, (ok most not all but only about 10% will come back if they survive-although I am yet to find an independent scientific (university based study) reference to that "10%" figure) it is a one way trip but if one catches them on their way to spawning then they (dependent upon where and how far they are from spawning grounds) may never get there. I'd be interested (I'm a biologist) for some references about the catch and release for salmon.

I think they all wantet to land it and then release, but it is not allowed so you might be right… When everyone looks bummed out though, it was because it was stuck on a rock for a few minuted
So these salmons are not red? I went to salmon arm, BC, Canada in 2018 to see the salmons swimming back. Those salmons were all red? Actually many were even bigger than the one in this video. It was amazing experience.
If I remember correctly, it was 16.2 kg. It might not look like it on video, but it is a relatively small river - you can easily spey to the other side
Norwegian salmon farms are a plague on the natural environment from one end of the World to the other. In turn they have taught other countries and peoples to farm salmon, spreading the plague. You should be proud.
Guess Fishers do not eat Fish, they rather buy comertially caught ones. I fish since about 6 yrs and have eaten most, over 65 yrs ago, Rather eat what I catch than buy
It's to protect stocks, regulations for sea trout and salmon are strict in the UK and Ireland, seabass also commercially protected,so wehook strong wild fish who get to go back to spawn more
It's called conservation, keep a couple small ones and throw the big ones bag... it's sad to see people the breeding stock because of ignorance and greed.
Great video of a beautiful salmon I guess it is around 15kg and that is big but not very big so no shame about bonking it, that fish has probably now fed many people that’s grateful of what they where blessed with
@@gabell727 If it was a female and had been released in good health, she would have added 20-30,000 eggs to the river. But this was a male; what is lost is his excellent genetics.
@@gabell727 Why would you assume that it would die after spawning? How many times do you suppose it has successfully spawned and returned to this river before?
@@timapple6586 Salmon only spawn once during their life, and then die. It is their life cycle. That silver salmon was very likely fresh from the ocean and in the river to spawn. That is generally the only reason for them to leave the ocean and return to the same place they were born.
@@timapple6586 I am sure he had many brothers and sisters. I doubt that his genetics were lost. If there were so few of them, then fishing should not be allowed. Most of those salmon will grow to be just as big and strong. Nothing unusual there. Also, the eggs could easily be fertilized after the fish is cleaned if they are needed to suppliment the population. The fish and game department would attend to that.
#badenbaden in der #oos 2012 hat doch mal jemand einen Gefangen und mitgenommen obwohl dieser bei uns ABSOLUT geschützt ist, oder? und der war ja ähnlich groß
Illegal to release on that river? never heard that it's illegal to release an Atlantic salmon. Appreciate the information. I'm just truly believe in catch and release.
Nice Catch 👍 , Large ones often seen Kill or eat small ones , so its good for rivers and the fish generation to clean Larger ones , Cycle is that . Net fishing should be avoided , as it Damages the River and its livelihood .
That's such a load of rubbish. Big salmon don't kill or eat smaller salmon. Salmon returning to rivers don't eat much at all. But every time you kill a really big fish you are removing some really good genes from the gene pool for that river.
Why is all these comments telling this man to release his fish…? You don’t know if his kids are starving home, some people have no choice they eat what they catch.. don’t like the video move on.. CONGRATS ON THE CATCH BUD 👍🏼
@@ewilmann Many thank for your prompt reply👍, its a strange rule, unless they are concerned about releasing potentially damaged fish? I see many complaints about this fish beng killed, most I assume are from anglers. I agree with C&R, however I'm not offended by an angler wanting to take a salmon for the table. However, what I don't see is a big cry about the significant reduction in wild samon stocks due to over fishing using nets, legal and illegal and also the lack of goverment control over salmon cages located at the mouth of estuaries which are causing well documented and significant mortality to our wild salmon stocks.
@@BigFly028 I agree entirely …. My point raised entirely …. I have lobbied my local MP …on these points …. SNP ….No reply ….because they think Fish farming is a benefit …. Maybe to some but not to the wild salmon … no conservation going on at all…..

We all love the Salmon and want our rivers to be healthy for coming generations. However, it is illegal to release in that river (Stordalselva). On the bright side the river is very healthy and fishing restricted, so the killing should be fine.

All these "release " comments from people coming from fisheries that have been ruined by commercial ventures best not dictate to those from healthy environments.
ever consider it a warning and to take heed from others mistakes? a fish that big is nowhere near as good for the table as a 5lbr and secondly releasing a fish that big will have a greater benefit to future stock than a smaller fish laying less eggs
@@whitetroutchannel I know a smaller/ younger fish is better for the table and I do appreciate good managment. but I also appreciate that the Norwegians generally mamnage well
@@ewilmann not allowed? I’ve taken my share over the years. With everything that goes on out at sea and being a big multi season salmon. I would have slipped it back regardless. We have rivers that were the same as this, we regularly had 20+ pounders. But you continue to take them and there are fewer to pair up when spawning. You cannot recreate big fish genetics for specific rivers
@@gunzowillis545 If you look at the video, a lot of people are watching the catch, so I think not. But as mentioned earlier, it is one of few healthy rivers so really no worries
Firstly beautiful fish. To those oh release the fish only anglers, next time you tie or buy a salmon fly ask what is it tied from, slaughtered birds and/or killed animals and then say save the fish, gets on my tits. I catch and release only cause were i live stocks are low. If numbers rise il make my decision then. Netters, trawlers etc etc were i live have our rivers destroyed not the angler. All rivers world wide have different stocks of salmon coming in from the sea. Well done from me.
You just killed your breeding stock You killed the goose that lays the golden egg. Beautiful creature and you just snuffed it out for the sake of a meal. They're much more use to me back in the river.
Yeah- and that majestic fish spent 3 years fattening up just for him to enjoy playing it for much longer than he should've. Show some respect by bringing it in quickly
@@edward9643 just to enjoy playing with it??? I would like too see you reel in that fisk, with the same gear🤣🤣 if you look closely, you can see the bend on the rod!!! I was pushing him to the max, so the line would hold!
Shame, what an awesome specimen to allow to reproduce. Congratulations but you just made a big dent in the gene pool, at least it wasn’t a hen fish 😬!! The big ones aren’t trophies anymore, take a pic and let it go. If you want one for the table take a small one, it would do us all good!! #AtlanticSalmonFederation
The fish should be managed by a knowledgeable fish and game department. If it is legal to take, then take it if you want it. The salmon is probably in the river to spawn and die anyway. There are usually stations in Salmon territory that will collect the fish roe, if it is necessary to restock. You know nothing about nature, obviously.
@@gabell727 But it hasn’t had the chance to spawn though has it, which was my glaringly obvious point!! Less of the confrontation and pipe down, if it’s legal to take a fish and the fish stocks are healthy then take a lesser specimen. Why do you think fish over a certain size are returned in pretty much every river throughout Europe and Iceland where the fish stocks are very healthy and I do much of my fishing. I obviously know nothing about nature, you laughable human being. The more fish that are allowed to spawn the bigger them number of par produced ergo the bigger number of smolts produced to try and make it back out to sea, less than 10% return and that it declining all the time so it would be sensible to allow as many salmon to spawn as possible. Now back in your box and go annoy someone else.
It's a 'game' fish, Adam, not a coarse fish. They are called game fish for a reason. You want to torture fish for fun, and effectively be a coarse fisherman? That's up to you. Enough of this absurd Catch and Release virtue signaling. It is the drift net fishermen you need to whine at for damaging fish stocks....not salmon rod anglers, who have always been conservation minded long before the C&R virtue signaling arrived here from America.
Sorry but of course you are allowed to catch and release in Norway. You are strongly encouraged to do so. Like in any wild salmon water, like 99% of sport fishers do. Of course you can choose not to. Like you did. But please stop messing about
@@joakimholmberg2477 sorry, you are wrong. Catch and release is not allowed there. I fish there every summer so I should know. And why would I lie about that anyways? You can look up Stordalselva in Åfjord and Google-translate your way through the rules If you want.
Do you what gets me …? All these comments about ‘ you should have released it …. I would lime to bet that if any of them had been there when this guy caught his fish … none of them would be stepping forward to tell them to release it … or they would be finding out just how cold a Norwegian salmon river is !!!
lol look how triggerd youve gotten, anyone would have thought youve caught the fish on cam, youve posted comments deleted comments,make your mind up lol 😂😂😂
@@whitetroutchannel stop being a woke, virtue signaling bell end. CnR is frankly another phrase for torturing fish for fun. If you don't like game fishing, then go coarse fishing, mate. Drift nets and seals decimate salmon and sea trout stocks on a different level to rod anglers.
Remember your sport and what you enjoyed and your children will, cant keep taking and not put back, fishing is a amazing sport when you have that take whether a fly or spinner or bait, enjoy the fishing but dont be greedy like some fishermen, take for what you eat not to sell and make money , bad sportsmanship and this message is to all fishing men , enjoy your sport but releasing a salmon or a good fish should be the best part of your day when you have done your duty 👍👍👍

If he turns it loose it will spawn an die so what lf he keeps it
The Atlantic salmon wont nessesarily die after spawning, but C/R is not allowed in this particular river

vielen Dank, ich musste schwimmen, um den Lachs heraufzubringen… ;-)
@@ewilmann ist entschuldigt 😄
My biggest salmon salmon is 16 lb
That is a big fight too, and loads of nice meat! Most anglers never get to experience that.
korea 굿 ((((굿))))3
All these "release " comments from people coming from fisheries that have been ruined by commercial ventures best not dictate to those from healthy environments.
ever consider it a warning and to take heed from others mistakes? a fish that big is nowhere near as good for the table as a 5lbr and secondly releasing a fish that big will have a greater benefit to future stock than a smaller fish laying less eggs
@@whitetroutchannel I know a smaller/ younger fish is better for the table and I do appreciate good managment. but I also appreciate that the Norwegians generally mamnage well
huh...not bad..go down to New Zealand where thats not even a keeper they'd throw that back
We would have done that too if it were legal, and if salmon liked beeing thrown around.
Those genetics are now lost forever 😢
True! One of few healthy rivers, c/r not allowed
@@ewilmann not allowed? I’ve taken my share over the years. With everything that goes on out at sea and being a big multi season salmon. I would have slipped it back regardless.
We have rivers that were the same as this, we regularly had 20+ pounders. But you continue to take them and there are fewer to pair up when spawning.
You cannot recreate big fish genetics for specific rivers
@@gunzowillis545 If you look at the video, a lot of people are watching the catch, so I think not. But as mentioned earlier, it is one of few healthy rivers so really no worries
What a waste...
Åfjord Norway
Yes! Stordalselva er helt topp og bygda full av trivelige folk 😊
Not exactly a small river.... Smoke it up !!!
Firstly beautiful fish. To those oh release the fish only anglers, next time you tie or buy a salmon fly ask what is it tied from, slaughtered birds and/or killed animals and then say save the fish, gets on my tits. I catch and release only cause were i live stocks are low. If numbers rise il make my decision then. Netters, trawlers etc etc were i live have our rivers destroyed not the angler. All rivers world wide have different stocks of salmon coming in from the sea. Well done from me.
Słabe, ktoś z boku wyjął ci rybę
nie rozumiem polskiego, możesz pisać po angielsku?
You just killed your breeding stock You killed the goose that lays the golden egg. Beautiful creature and you just snuffed it out for the sake of a meal. They're much more use to me back in the river.
Yeah- and that majestic fish spent 3 years fattening up just for him to enjoy playing it for much longer than he should've. Show some respect by bringing it in quickly
So it's all about you then....
@@edward9643 just to enjoy playing with it??? I would like too see you reel in that fisk, with the same gear🤣🤣 if you look closely, you can see the bend on the rod!!! I was pushing him to the max, so the line would hold!
From the dam to the pan.....from the river to the liver
Well done!
That ain’t no record
25-year old record in that small river 😊
Well that's that slaughtered.
Yep, catch and release is not allowed in that river. It is a very healthy river, so no worries.
Shame, what an awesome specimen to allow to reproduce. Congratulations but you just made a big dent in the gene pool, at least it wasn’t a hen fish 😬!! The big ones aren’t trophies anymore, take a pic and let it go. If you want one for the table take a small one, it would do us all good!! #AtlanticSalmonFederation
Catch and release is illegal in this river.. On the bright side, the river is very healthy 👍
Shut up you muppet, fish police 🚔 😒
The fish should be managed by a knowledgeable fish and game department. If it is legal to take, then take it if you want it. The salmon is probably in the river to spawn and die anyway. There are usually stations in Salmon territory that will collect the fish roe, if it is necessary to restock. You know nothing about nature, obviously.
@@gabell727 But it hasn’t had the chance to spawn though has it, which was my glaringly obvious point!! Less of the confrontation and pipe down, if it’s legal to take a fish and the fish stocks are healthy then take a lesser specimen. Why do you think fish over a certain size are returned in pretty much every river throughout Europe and Iceland where the fish stocks are very healthy and I do much of my fishing. I obviously know nothing about nature, you laughable human being. The more fish that are allowed to spawn the bigger them number of par produced ergo the bigger number of smolts produced to try and make it back out to sea, less than 10% return and that it declining all the time so it would be sensible to allow as many salmon to spawn as possible. Now back in your box and go annoy someone else.
It's a 'game' fish, Adam, not a coarse fish. They are called game fish for a reason. You want to torture fish for fun, and effectively be a coarse fisherman? That's up to you. Enough of this absurd Catch and Release virtue signaling. It is the drift net fishermen you need to whine at for damaging fish stocks....not salmon rod anglers, who have always been conservation minded long before the C&R virtue signaling arrived here from America.
Congrats but I hope you released it back safely
Thanks! It is not allowed to release salmon in that river. But it is one of very few healthy ones, so no problem.
@@ewilmann allowed to catch but not release🤣🤣🤣sorry but thats 🙈
@@joakimholmberg2477 I know… 🙃
Sorry but of course you are allowed to catch and release in Norway. You are strongly encouraged to do so. Like in any wild salmon water, like 99% of sport fishers do. Of course you can choose not to. Like you did. But please stop messing about
@@joakimholmberg2477 sorry, you are wrong. Catch and release is not allowed there. I fish there every summer so I should know. And why would I lie about that anyways? You can look up Stordalselva in Åfjord and Google-translate your way through the rules If you want.

I wonder how long would take him to pull 16 footer shark ??
2 months
Do you what gets me …? All these comments about ‘ you should have released it ….
I would lime to bet that if any of them had been there when this guy caught his fish … none of them would be stepping forward to tell them to release it … or they would be finding out just how cold a Norwegian salmon river is !!!
lol look how triggerd youve gotten, anyone would have thought youve caught the fish on cam, youve posted comments deleted comments,make your mind up lol 😂😂😂
@@whitetroutchannel triggered? I haven’t posted / deleted … don’t know what you mean by that ….
@@terryurquhart2413 😂😂😂
@@whitetroutchannel stop being a woke, virtue signaling bell end. CnR is frankly another phrase for torturing fish for fun. If you don't like game fishing, then go coarse fishing, mate. Drift nets and seals decimate salmon and sea trout stocks on a different level to rod anglers.
All salmon should be released, enjoy catching a good salmon but much better when you release them, that's what you call a good day fishing 👍👍
Is there even wild salmon anymore? And of course you should not take em all, but real fishermen eats fish you know
Remember your sport and what you enjoyed and your children will, cant keep taking and not put back, fishing is a amazing sport when you have that take whether a fly or spinner or bait, enjoy the fishing but dont be greedy like some fishermen, take for what you eat not to sell and make money , bad sportsmanship and this message is to all fishing men , enjoy your sport but releasing a salmon or a good fish should be the best part of your day when you have done your duty 👍👍👍
@@idapettersson8519 a real fisherman knows you cant catch what isnt there anymore
what about when they spawn out and die
really ,so you just fish to torment an torture but somehow eating is bad ?
