- The BEST Way To Catch PINK SALMON (Complete Setup + Tutorial)
On this week's episode of Chasing Chrome, I head to my local river in washington state to go pink salmon fishing! In this video I explain the best way that I have found to target these Pink Salmon in the River. During this absolutely epic time of the year we get the amazing opportunity to go fishing for and to target pink salmon here in washington state as they make their way from the pacific ocean into the various local rivers and streams to spawn. In this video, I go over my basic setup that I use to catch pink salmon here in washington state, do an in depth lure creation tutorial, show you how to fish it, and also end up catching a couple nice ones (complete setup + tutorial)! I hope you guys enjoy this video on the best way to catch pink salmon while river fishing here in washington state!

the way you dealt with those guys was awesome. Way to stand up for the fish and respect the wildlife. :) Thats why I watch your videos! Your a great person with a kind heart. God Bless brother.
Good on you for calling them out. I swear I hate pink years sometimes because of all the fair weather "fishermen" and yahoos they attract. I only really love it as theyre great for getting new guys on their first salmon.
This comment perfectly describes pink fishing lol especially on the Puyallup.
I actually stopped fishing because seeing to many snaggers at the Greenriver. I see I’m not the only one who gets pissed seeing that. You motivated me to get back out. Keep the videos coming. 👍🏿
That’s the Jersey in you Brian. You yelling at those guys made me feel very happy and back at home in Jersey!
Haha you got that right!
I hear your frustration on the snagging but I learned a long time ago that snaggers are gonna snag especially during pink years. Brings out the worst in fisherman out the and only real thing you can do is call the warden and hope they come. Besides that a fish isn’t worth getting into fights or worse have a gun pulled out on you which I have seen happen. One other thing is if not keeping a salmon it is illegal to take out of water. I understand they are on their way to dying anyways but it is the law. I don’t take snagging lightly either but to be fair we should always thrive to follow the rules especially if we are calling other ppl out. Besides that great video and hope you continue to enjoy your time out their.
I had to pull my pepper spray on a dude who was coming up to me while I was on the phone reporting him for poaching salmon off the beach. He immediately backed off and took off with a wild coho. Friken dirt bags. I can’t stand them. They’re all over the place when the salmon are coming through.
Hopefully you were able to send something to fish and game. It’s so satisfying putting the time in and catching them the right way. Great to catch on homemade (or altered) jigs and lures! It’s been an awesome season! Bush point has been fantastic for pinks this year. Winding down though. I’m a 20 minute drive from there so I get out a lot!
Thanks again for the video!
That’s awesome! And yeah it’s pretty annoying seeing all of them every season :/
I agree with you, Brian. Thanks for standing up to the snaggers!
Let's gooo salmon for the boys 🤙
Facts ^^^
Great video! I used to fish the Green River near Auburn area. I know this really good spot (I know you've been there on previous vids) that I absolutely love. My car got broken into two times in a row so I said F it and never went back. I hate how this awesome river is littered and homeless camps are on the banks. Any sketchyness during your recent trips?
Thanks for the comment! And yeah there’s always sketchyness haha
Me and my friends go to that river all the time. You should try using 3/8 jigs. Keep up the awesome videos!
what river is it??? I want to catch my first pink and cook it. I do live in WA
@@ethan897green river /duwamish
Thanks for sharing, maybe I'll see ya down there chasing Coho after my trip to Sekiu for a 4 day weekend. Good on ya for calling those a-holes out. See them all the time on the upper Green by the Auburn golf course on the way to work. Saw some yesterday and the river's not even open there.
I need to try your technique bro I got skunked the past 2 days and they was jumping around like crazy too ! Smh
I say some of the hardest parts of fishing is finding a way down to the river. Also where to park and hopefully no one mess with your car
Yeah I think somebody bumped into my car and busted my valve stem a few weeks ago when I was there
May have over-reacted. Could be that the pinks were so thick that they were bumping their line or swatting the jig with their tail. Fish tards think they're bites and set the hook every time they feel one. They're just humpies let them get their limit so they'll leave.
No, they were definitely snagging, not even using jigs, just hooks. That closeup in my video of him “hitting a home run” with his rod was all he was doing the whole time, and was keeping snagged fish
you can tell by the retrieve... a snag retrieve is much different than a lure/hook set retrieve. a snag retrieve is a constant smooth rod sweep/reel motion which he was obviously doing. not to mention they pretty much admitted it.
watch the video again and see how he yanks the rod as fast as he can sideways. that is not twitching, that is flossing/snagging 110%
Keep a 3oz pyramid tied onto an extra rod for target practice for those occasions
Pardon this newbie...but what is snagging?
Catching a fish by hooking it in its body rather than by having the fish voluntarily bite your bait. Don't ask me why the rule exists, i don't know .
What feel/rod combo & what pound test line do you recommend?
Thanks bro did what you said and caught 3 🔥🎣
Eyyy!! 💪🏻
when does the river open for pink salmon this year?
Drove to the Puyallup this morning but is seems like the pinks have gone missing there. Caught a nice Coho and lost a king this morning. It is still insane with all the people still.
Lol seen a dude at that same spot right across from where you were at doing the same thing. The snag jig i call it lol. Probably the same dude. On another note if you let your jig drop a little longer alot of times they'll hit. Great videos. Keep em coming.
I agree with you! I went off on a couple guys on the coast this past weekend. I had to leave... Keep it up!
Makes me so mad haha
Hi Brian! I've been fishing there many times, both sides and down river and I enjoy your videos I've seen so far! Hope to see you out on the river! Tight lines to you!💪✌
See you Thursday!
I've had fishing gear given to me that I've had for years now and finally wanna use it. I live up in Everett and will be on the Snohomish River tomorrow. Anyways thanks for the quality advice.
Dont those salmon all die after there run up river?
awesome video! thx for the tips
good on ya for doing it the right way man. yeah snaggers are out there and makes me mad too but its easy to let them get to you. just enjoy the moment stay positive and realize that karma is a bish! I actually write that on my crab pot bouys lol.
Haha smart! Guilt trip ftw
Hey I was there on the other side in front of you the day you were recoding I caught 4!
Good stuff!!!
Thanks for the tutorial! I live very close to the green river too but I haven’t very fished it very much. I’ve been mostly fishing at the puyallup and the setup is a lot different. I wanted to go to the puyallup after school tomorrow, but the traffic is terrible. If you could let me know which area this is around, that would be great! I’d love to learn how to fish my local river!
Anywhere that is legally open has fish!
Ok thanks!

Hey I see you and your buddy Friday @7 pm
What waders do you use
Tidewe neoprene ones from Amazon! I can put a link if you want actually
@@BrianMonticello yessir! I found you on fishbrain and I've been watching all your videos. i'm super new to fishing :)
@@ChaseKayzer that’s awesome! I’ll upload the link in the description shortly!
@@BrianMonticello Thank you, keep up the high quality and you're gonna blow up eventually
@@ChaseKayzer thanks man!
that's a really cool way you did your jigs! I'm going to have to try that out! I haven't had any luck with the jigs yet maybe this will turn the page lol! 😂
Let me know how it goes!!
@@BrianMonticello I will for sure man!
Sick vid mate cheers from BC
Thanks!
Being from Chicago, I've only fished for pinks while visiting family up in Seattle. just wondering, does wdfw not patrol the areas during "prime" season? I would think that they would be out in full force picking up the easy revenue off violations. During the fish runs, the DNR is out in full force in Chicago (even with snagging being legal) catching soooooo many people without licenses. In Chicago they take all your gear plus a fine, if you're in a boat they confiscate the boat too until the court date! Does it ever help to report it or call it in to WDFW?
I wish they were more active like that, unfortunately there’s only so many of them. They say it helps to report it and call them but I’ve never seen any action taken from that
They could care less about pinks in the rivers
Do you have a link for the Hot Pink Glow Yarn?
I just get it at dicks, they have it at most sporting goods stores with fishing sections
Awesome 😎
hopefully the wdfw can get enough info off that boat to take action.
#1fan here, nice pink jigs…. Wonder if you had any help with those? Jw❤️
He he, I don’t want to be completely embarrassed by your superior jig making skillz
70 :} cool video and nice catch, love your jig set up, too fun to watch you again!!!
Thank you!
So many snaggers at the opening of the river. I seen this made take home 4 snagged fish with its a 2 fish limit, it sucks because everyone around there do it
Yeah it’s pretty bad, especially at Spokane St bridge, not sure why wdfw doesn’t show up there and just make a killing
@@BrianMonticello yea Spokane street is a shit show… they could make tons of money
@@khobsupsk not only that, above the 212th where it’s closed there’s so much fisherman fishing
@@BrianMonticello yeah that’s the spot. Just didn’t want to name it but it’s pretty obvious. I’ve only met a few do it legally. It ruins it for me. IMO that should only be open to kids. That’s were I got my son on his first two legal pink.
@@youraveragefishkeeper yeah I feel you bro, that’s awesome for your son though!
Dude really just said “you should try it”
😂
Pink Salmon Piss Out there skin. (notice the slug slime after you kill one )
Also the tide is going out. Your catch is high and dry🤣 and you should have started tossing buzz bombs at the snagger🤣🤣🤣
Waiting for the “best way to catch silvers”
Check my latest video! 😉 much harder problem to solve with silvers, so many ways to catch them
I didn’t know yarn is so buoyant that it slows down the rate of lead sinking
Yeah tbh it’s probably not LOL but in my head I think it slows down the 1/8oz or less a little maybe because it has such a large surface area when it’s spread out under water, compared to some other jig types that might be more compact or thin. It’s very fluffy
@@BrianMonticello interesting, I could see how the surface area makes a jig fall different. Once talked to a guy that ties jigs professionally who was telling me how different shaped jig heads change the way jigs drop in the water, so it’s not far fetched body materials could have an impact. Glad you gave those guys practicing “the Puyallup Twitch” the business, snaggers suck.
I was there that day… clowns were snagging.
Which river? I was at Mukilteo Pier last week, think it’s time of the river if you don’t mind sharing
Hate those snaggers, takes the fun out of fishing. Catch you on the water next time brotha.
First
Are you calling a guy out maybe subscribe nice video
I love you videos i see 4 people 4 using like a gun that's no good ...where its this place i tried yesterday nothing
Using a gun?!
Why do you pull line off your spool? Its a pink just reel it in
Sort of two reasons. 1 is I was using 6lb line, and the other was the tide was high so there was no bank really to land the fish so I needed some more line to be able to back up and find a spot to land the fish without it breaking my rod tip since I reeled it in a little too much
"Dislikes" from the snaggers 😂 That was some blatant BS and so disrespectful to the resource. Question is... did he subscribe though??
😂😂😂😂
Yeah facts man
just use salmon eggs to catch pink salmon, salmon eggs are the best bait to catch pink slamon.
Wow that’s awesome! Around here? Haven’t seen it done befor
thats sad that some people cant even catch PINKS so they have to snag them.... embarrassing
I have snagged some fish .but to pull in front of somebody and intentionally blatantly rip fish is rediculouse .people have no respect for anything or anybody any more.this is why more and more of are rights and freedoms are being taken from us
Those dudes are fucking clowns. Good video none the less!
Haha ikr and thank you!
Absolutely no honor, respect, or skill in snagging fish. I know for a fact if they have any sort of conscience, when those guys go home they probably don't feel good about themselves. Much more rewarding and beneficial to do it legally.
Agreed!
snagging fish means your seaxually fruastraed
Looks like tribal guys they can legally snag fish if they want still annoying though
Definitely could have been, should just stick to their nets imo smh
Guy's like the guy snagging those fish piss me off.
Me too man, it gets my blood boiling
Lol is that a pond you pay to get a guaranteed fish... amateur hour.
