As some of the most intense North American fish, king salmon test the mettle of anglers with their long runs, fierce head shaking and acrobatic leaps, leaving them no room to cut corners.
But once in a while, they have a surprise up their sleeve as seen in this video. What these fishermen encountered is definitely one-of-a-kind!
A fisherman hooks up with a 50-pound and 66-pound king salmon on Alaska’s Kenai River.
While the battle begins evenly, with the fish exploiting a tough current, things quickly change when the catch leaps directly into his boat
What a fishing surprise! This salmon knocked both anglers over and broke their rod, according to the YouTube post.
However, you have to give it a little credit; if you’re going to get caught, you might as well wipe out the guy that caught you! This is incredible fishing action in 3D!
The Kenai River in Alaska is an excellent destination for any angler hoping to snag a salmon.
To do so on a more limited budget, renting an Airbnb or a hotel and planning one’s own trips is an option, but for those willing to splurge, there are some amazing lodges.
Salmon Catcher Lodge is highly recommended, as is Ocra Lodge and Kenai River Lodge.
