My Biggest Monster Tyee Salmon Ever trolling downrigger
Uploaded by: salmonvivor
Video Description:
Bill Gygax and Myself left Salty's bait shop after paying launch and Sausilito at aproximaately 6:45 for Duzberry Reef which was a super smooth run to Duz. The day is starting right and what I'm looking for is a big slug. We had our minds set that we were absolutely not going to stop until we got to the Duz can...Unless we go by a boat with a double hookup going...Chuckle. We saw party boats stopping 2 miles short but we kept on to Duz. Heard about some fish and We were running double FBR setups which is a standard FBR with anchovy on the main rig and a FBR slider on the dropper rig. I was running one green mini red/green light on the bottom Green FBR with standard sleeve and mustad 95160 stainless steel hook and up front was a 1/1/2 oz keel sinker with a one anchovy home made dragless flasher. The dropper rig was fitted with a 12 inch 50# test P-Line leader with beadchain and a 80 pound test dacron uniknot slider to control hook to tail length. The hook was a tricked out 3/0 red Vision hook with the tip slight bend out and fitted with a quick strike kick up shank whisker. It basically makes a single barbless J hook to strike like a treble hook.
Caught some rock fish and another little fish and finally hooked into a monster 44.05 as weighted in at Salty's Tackle by (Vickie)
It was my best salmon ever at it put up a noble fight.
The report is one big 44.05 pound salmon caught on a Green FBR at 55 feet on the wire 1/4 mile south east of the can.

m/sheltontheater.html To see a video of the TadPole snagless weights go to http://www.sheltonproducts.com/tadpole.mov There were two hook mortality study done with them in the Eastern Sierras and sponsored by US Forest service and local business men in Mono and Inyo Counties that proof the mortality
rate was equal to or less than fly fishing mortality. Since you aren't breaking off hooks in fish and with the TadPole snagless weights, not breaking off in rocks, you get in more fishing time because you are not down re-rigging so that gives you more time with your bait in the water and you improv
e your catch. This is especially important when you have kids, as you will not spend all of your time re-rigging them. It is especially a good feeling seeing them swim away. Berkley Power Bait and these hooks and TadPole make one of the most effective trout bait rig there is. Catch and keep, no prob
lem, you get the hook out instantly, and catch and release couldn't be easier. Regarding self-releasing hooks. They are design to release fish without touching them. Basically how they work is the eye of the hook is at the bend of the hook and the leader line goes through a flexible plastic sleeve t
hat goes over leader line and when the sleeve is slid down over the shank of the hook it is set and fish just like a regular fishhook. The sleeve has a second line tied to the top of this and parallels the main leader line and is attach by a sliding 3 turn uniknot tied with thread. When you slid the
red knot up by pinching it or using a pocket comb it slides the sleeve up and the hook rotates and self releases. To find out about other fantastic products such as for salmon, trout, stripers and halibut trolling and trout fishing go to http://www.sheltonproducts.com A hot new lure SBR™, Shad Bu

™ trolling rig for most salmon and late in the fall when the really big salmon stack up off of San Francisco getting ready to migrate up the Sacramento River I use blue label Herring 7-9 inches inserted into a FBR™ herring size rig. These rigs are really good with salmon. Thanks for asking.
thank you and good luck on your next fishing trip.
™ were working for you. If it is please stay in touch and let me know where you are fishing and how you are doing. I certainly wish you a great upcoming season and thanks for the kind comments on the FBR™ killing the salmon in BC. Bill
