BigSlant Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 I've never accidentally caught a salmon while bass fishing..let alone caught a salmon on a glide bait!

BigSlant Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 So here's the story.. It was the last fish of the day..had several largemouth biggest at 3.5#..several striper and my morning was winding down..I got into an area of the delta called Big Break and tide was out..water was very clear..the spot I was in was about 2' deep with a lot of surface weeds..I pulled up to a deeper lane about 4' deep between the weeds..I saw several good size bass and made a few feeble attempts to draw a strike but they weren't interested..the current was coming toward me so I cast into the lane a few times..picked up another 2# lmb and a shaker striper that would of died trying to consume a shad the size of the phoney..then I heard a splash and turned to see large rings in the water and thought it was a good size lmb..I made two casts and nothing..then I cast about 20' down current saw a flash and SLAM! Fish on! I immediately thought DD..but after a minute I was sure it was a 10# striper because it never surfaced and was peeling drag..as I got it close I saw the silver and was sure it was a big striper..once it was within recognition I thought WTF is that a salmon? I looked around and saw my net was still collapsed at the back of the boat..the fish came in and peeled drag under the boat but I was able to reach the net and with the aid of my foot extend it and land it! I wasn't in danger of shaking the hook it was buried in the lower jaw..I was still confused by what happened..weighed in at 10.02#..thicker than the pic showed.. I was planning on releasing it but they don't last as long out of the water..by the time I took a pic and got that buried hook out it wasn't reviving..later I was told that part of the river is still closed to salmon fishing but I wasn't gonna throw a dead fish back so the fillets are seasoned and in the fridge!! northeast_trev, fishinpunk, Deltaman and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyingnose703 Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Had one smack a S-waver 168 at a reservoir in MA last week. Didn't get the hooks but the silver flash gave it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
