Catching a 50 Pound King Salmon Helicopter Fishing

nice fish! nice vid....

Bout thirty minutes... seemed like two years at the time!

:)

lol 10 pound test line!!

must have took u a year 2 reel it in!!

56lbs on 8lb test, 9 1/2 foot flyrod. Great job, would love to see the catch tho

I used two different cameras....

...how'd u get the footage? it looks like there was like 5 cameras...

Because there was limited space on the helicopter and it was a catch and release stream.

why let it go.... ???

eat it :)

that's a really pretty fish! nice catch! and i think it's awesome that you let it go! =3

Set the drag really light...

hey nice work there mate nice fish and well done for lettin it go nice one champ

how and the world did he catch it on 10 pound test line

wicked awesome always wanted to do that

He's getting there. I'm chomping at the bit to get on the water. I've got to go fishing soon or I'm gonna go nuclear on somebody.

may he get well quick.

Finally got a new battery for my cam. I'm mobile now. I won't be doing much until spring, my dad just had a major heart operation and taking trips on my own just isn't as much fun without him. Keep them vids coming Camo, I need something to keep my tied until the old man is well.

go out and buy some kevlar line and try to bite through it and then use a knite to try to cut it it will dull your knife i guarantee it i have to use a lighter to cut it it is only cut with a flame of lazer never a knife it will destroy the blade

Gorgeous shots! Who cares about the fish!

Salmon 18 seconds! Helicopter 7 min 42! "HUH" misleading! You tell me!

why wouldn't they eat the bugger?Man that would have made a sexy meal and then 20 more

I work for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and a King Salmon IS a Chinook

no way thats a 50lb salmon. I've seen 40lbers that size..

A chinook and a king are the same thing. Chinook is the scientific name that all out-of-staters use, I've never heard a resident call it that, we call them kings.

lol at least your comment was

The guide said it was a king... He is a helicopter pilot too. I'm pretty sure he knows what he is talking about.
