I woulda done that but I wasn't allowed to fish in the aquarium...
I was throwing a spinner for some trout under this tree, then out of the blue this big hawk dives out of a tree and hit that spinner
In alaska they use whole sockeye for them things...and I thought trolling cut plugged black label herring was throwing a big bait. I bet if you could figure out when they are moving through and had some bigger baits a guy could have a ton of fun with some big toothy critters and help save some salmon in the process.:dance::clap:. I wonder how many you could do in a day.
We pulled a big 'ol Dorado out of the Death Box a few times, and "live trolled" that for Blues. Marlin would slam the Dorado, and one in 3 would result in a brutal hook-up/take. Pretty funny stuff teasing Marlin, then putting out Dorado, as opposed to Jacks, or other fish baits.
When you bury a 16/0 or so hook into a fairly large baitfish, in a few cases a small Dorado, most people take notice, and yeah, it is fish on, until you get nailed. Pretty vicious takes. There are videos of guys on the gimble, whou unclip for a moment to re-adjust, and they gut pulled in. Gnarly stuff. Blues are actually pretty ridicolous to fight. Almost not worth it, when you consider how much gear, and gas go into it, but a super fun experience none the less. I still get way more kick, out of bouncing certain AK streams for Chinook. Way more fun.
