Just checking, doing final checks, getting my new lead jacket on

This guy is called the Chinook, hopefully it gets me into a Chinook today
0:24
Welcome back to the channel guys, it's Jesse here from BC Fishing Journal
0:37
And tonight we are doing a last light bite, hopefully bite. Got some trolling gear, got some bottom gear, got a tangled cable line
0:50
Let's see how we do, let's get to it. Oh it's hot out already
0:56
This is going to be scorcher, this one. I'll have to go for a swim after
1:06
Oh there we go, there we go. That feels like a salmon
1:10
On the way up, I have to feel salmon. Not pig, but it's a salmon
1:14
I think, I don't know, maybe it is a lingcod. Doesn't feel like a...what is this
1:18
Oh it is a little salmon. A little shaker. A little shaker, let's see if it's a coho
1:28
Are you a coho or a Chinook? That's the question. Oh, let's see
1:34
Oh you're a wiles, it doesn't matter. Nice little starter fish. Chinook
1:42
There we go. Woo hoo! I knew I saw someone there. Saw someone on the mark
1:52
That's a good sign. Okay, so there's some small ones around, that's good
1:56
So that's called a Chinook Jack. It's a young adult. Not a fully matured, obviously, jack
2:02
Those fish are going to be around here for a couple more years. Growing up, beefing up
2:08
And they're probably local fish. Local Chinooks, heading off, just fattening up
2:12
Around here. They could be here their whole lives, for all I know
2:20
There we go. There we go. There we go. Oh that's a good fish
2:28
Good ling. Good ling. That's a good rockfish, one of the two
2:40
First drop in the area. I knew this fish. Oh it's a ling
2:46
Is he legal? I don't know. Let's see, not quite
2:56
I don't think. Oh, good little fight. He's a fat guy. Holy cow, he's eating well
3:04
Look at the size of this fat boy. That's a fatty. That's a fatty
3:10
But he's not size. He's got a lot of weight to him though
3:16
A little splash to send me on my way. Send him on his way
3:22
See you later. This is so fishy this area. I'm loving it
3:30
We're in deep water, but they're about 85 feet. There we go
3:36
We got something. What do we got? Oh it's a cow. It's not fighting like a salmon
3:44
What is it? Oh it is a salmon. Oh it is a salmon
3:50
I didn't know he was awake. Oh he's awake now. We got a salmon boys
3:56
Yep, we got one. He's not huge. Oh jeez. Oh jeez. Oh jeez. No
4:14
Oh jeez. Worst it. That really sucked. But now
4:24
I'm going to switch up to the downrigger. Let's do some trolling
4:28
Let's go cruise around. Get the legs going. Take a break. Pop that in there
5:26
Pop that in the tub. Oh jeez. Oh I'm getting my feet in here

There we go. That's it
7:36
It's a nice little hatchery coho. That's going to be a delicious meal tomorrow
7:42
Or whenever we eat. Honestly I think I like I prefer coho over chinook for eating. Personally
7:50
That's just my preference. Give him. Get up get up get up get up
8:16
Get up get up. Get up get up get up. DJ. DJ
8:26
That dog. I know coho. Or small chinook. Is he fine
8:44
Do you think it's a shaker? It's all like a shaker. It was small

8:58
Nice one. Alright keep going. Keep going. Get my work out. Get him
9:16
Get him. Oh yeah he's working. He's a bit too late. Oh yeah he's got something here

Oh I think that was a coho. That was a nice one too
10:18
That was a good sized one. Boy. The struggle. Is real. Alright
10:28
Well my battery died. So I figured I'd do a quick outro
10:32
On my iPhone. So it is past sunset. I don't know if you can see that
10:38
I don't know if you can see that. But what a beautiful sunset
10:42
So we're getting into the last light of the day. So I gotta get off the water
10:46
But man. Just a beautiful night on the water. We didn't. It was a grind
10:54
That was the hardest fishing for me. I've done. I was sweating
11:00
Things were going wrong. It was just a tough night. As you guys saw I lost a lot of fish
11:06
That's how it goes sometimes. But. We got that one coho. Sometimes that's all it takes
11:14
Just one solid fish. That's going to be a great meal for my family
11:18
Very excited about that. That's why I'm smiling. Otherwise I'd be so dejected
11:24
It'd be frustrating. But you know what. These are the type of nights that drive me to come back out. Honestly
11:32
I know I'm doing the right things. Again. If you haven't. Give me a thumbs up
