Dad Catching a 19lb Chinook Salmon

I recorded this beautiful fight with a Chinook Salmon off of East Sooke Park from my brother's boat. It gave my Dad a run for his money and shot our nerves a bit before the end... we didn't want to lose such a beautiful fish. I have edited the sound a bit to lose some of the expletives we all threw out there during the video... after all, I wanted to show my young kids this!! 

BTW we use ONLY true salmon fishing reels... no drag reels here - EVER. It is a far more exciting battle where the fisher has to have some talent or else he/she can very easily lose the salmon. It is a beautiful thing :-)
