I was surprised to see the port side downrigger being lowered while playing the fish. I myself try to get the gear out of the water, leaving less chance for the fish to get caught up in or have the line touch the downrigger wire, we all know what happens then. It does become busy when by yourself, so congrats on landing both chinooks.

Nah... he did it right!

When fishing by "yourself", it is better to leave the gear down!

well that can be debated but if the bite is on you can't get a double header if your bring other rod up. Now what to with a double header while solo is whole 'nother story. :mrgreen:

Sweet video Wildwest. I've never been that calm when catching fish. Look forward to seeing your Bamfield video.

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent deck management there. And not to sound like a weinie but it's nice to see the Floater coat too (I'm sure that wasn't just for the weather). Always a good idea when you're by yourself.
Cheers
