Bro Goes Bonkers for Chinook

[Brandonkop]

The moment my brother Tyson has been waiting for has finally arrived. He got his wish and caught a big Chinook while out with us at Ucluelet last week. Watch the video you'll see he goes over the top... seriously, haha!

My Brother Tyson is slightly... and by slightly I mean a lot less interested if fishing than me. But he still enjoys coming along in hopes of getting the big one. He has been on two trips with me in the last year and jumped at the opportunity at our last minute Ucluelet British Columbia trip last week. Despite being riddled with engine troubles and Expedia cancelled reservations we still made out all Right. We were out fishing on South Bank with out 9.9 hp Mercury four stroke when something hit at 127 feet on the rigger on a Green and Glow Kingfisher Spoon by Silver Horde. My brother grabbed the rod and the fish starts pulling drag and reels a screaming. Pulled out the camera and well the rest is history. I think he was a little excited about this one. What do you think?

Yeah that one was 20 pounds. Not a monster but a really nice fish! We're pretty new to this, my biggest this summer was 23 pounds. To me anything over 15 pounds starts looking pretty big. I can't imagine was a 40 pounder looks like! All in good time. We're getting a hang of it now so time will tell.
