New Trout and Salmon Miracle Bait

Copenhagen Long cut Wintergreen
 

 
9lb 14oz brown
 

 
25lb 4oz Coho
Tie it up like an egg sack.
 

 
Works well for kings too. Steelhead won't touch it though. Think I'll try Camel Snus for them next time. It's a smaller offering.

    Oh, you mean the hooked jaw? Yeah, that coho's mouth was really badazz. Believe it or not, I was fishing in a hole about 4ft deep with no weight. My bait was only about 6 inches deep. I watched that pig shoot off of the bottom to grab my bait. He even came out of the water a little bit when he hit it! It was amazing! I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I saw all of that pink and had no idea what kind of fish it was. LOL! I was using #4 Eagle Claw Laser Sharp Wide Gap Offset hooks. They really were amazing hooks. I had to remove this hook from the roof of this fish's mouth and it was in deep, almost swallowed. When I went to remove the hook, I found a HUGE treble hook in the roof of his mouth too. I should have taken a picture of that, but I kinda had my hands full! I didn't know what kind of fish this was until 2hrs later when another fisherman saw it and said, "Holy Crap! That is the biggest Coho I've ever seen!"

    That's for sure. Too late to get it mounted though. It's already filleted and in the freezer. I did make some gyotaku prints of it though. I'll take pics of them and post them one of these days. To get a fish like that mounted would have been $500 or more. With my son's illness and other expenses, I really can't spend money on that right now. Sure wish I could though. That coho was 25lb 4oz and 41" long. It will forever be one of the most memorable moments in my life.

    I was going to do that. I hooked a rope through its mouth and hung it up outside. Unfortunately, something else wanted it more than I did I guess. Next morning the rope was still there, but the head was not.
     
    Wait til you see the fish prints though. They are awesome.
