Thanks, and yes those are Chinook Salmon. Aka Kings
I've always trolled for them and caught a lot, but a couple of years ago, I started vertical jigging for them and it is a blast. Only problem was I couldn't find a jig with all the best elements for my style of fishing, so I sold some stuff and got into making my own. I have to say, my buddies and I have been just pounding them on my jigs. We are consistently out fishing the guys trolling around us.
