Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Every once in a while while fishing or driving your car you get a surprise.   This one was late in the day while trolling during the winter here in Alaska.   Was it worth waiting for?   Mooching Reel..and a whole herring......

easy to smile for you all,  the paycheck for getting out of the house.  yelling Fish Hon........

As the weekend approaches many people will have a chance to recreate.  Even my thoughts are on the subject.  So it was time for a video or two of the mooching reel vs a King salmon, wild, mighty, and delicious.

And maybe one more of my creations for the weekend.   It's reel footage, could be edited more or less,    but to showcase the question able reel on the topic....

  The woman caught her first king salmon ever might have been less surprised than the captain?   It was the only fish of the day.

Kinda breezy, but we thought after getting out here we better stay a while.  It's here on the deck,  fun n tasty!

Here's a clip of the mooching reel and what it did to.   Shaky, bad audio.n not the best but still it's live action so it could be considered reel?
  It's also a show of teamwork with the kicker motor to aid in positioning the rear of the boat to make the possibility that the fish will go out around under the boat where with the cabin the fish can break off line quite easily.
  There's some glimpses showing the modified mooching reel, not really very good actually,   But this clip was to show the whole picture.....
  The green chrome whole herring lure is shown here.   It's a plastic plug/lure that has done us very well with our fishery...

Gary, I love using plugs for kings. Silver Horde keeps coming up with new paint schemes, and this one was red hot this past summer. 5" plug with 5/0 J hook. Glow body
