Releasing a big fish like a salmon without using a landing net can be as much of a battle as getting the fish in arm&#8217;s reach. With one fish, the fishing line was wrapped around the salmon&#8217;s toothy lower jaw so I had to hold the lure and cut a bunch of line so it wouldn&#8217;t harm the fish and I could get my lure back. That&#8217;s six native fish and one hatchery fish for me so far. <a href=\"https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/big-chinook-salmon\/\">The keeper was a big one<\/a>, so I can&#8217;t complain too much.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/CatchAndRelease9-9-16.jpg\" alt=\"Catch and release native salmon\" title=\"Catch and release native salmon\" width=\"600\" height=\"428\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/CatchAndRelease9-9-16.jpg 600w, https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/CatchAndRelease9-9-16-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A quick check this weekend morning saw a huge crowd at the local salmon fishing spot. The crowds are only somewhat limited by the parking spots at the local launch ramps. The big name fishing spots are really crazy on weekends, which makes salmon fishing more like naval warfare with all the boats. We&#8217;ll be back on it next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The kayak fishing for salmon on the Columbia River continues every chance we get.
