Good job.
Looks like you exausted it out...no net!Hope you decided to keep it.
Don't expect to get a salmon on every trip though.My buddy has been there the past 3 days and hasn't gotten anything but trout since his 33 inch 12 lber a couple of weeks ago.
Wait until November and you get one in the 30 inch range.You'll really get a workout.
The water is finally cooling and they are beginning to turn on.
That eagle has been up tbere for a couple of years now.Always beautiful to see.

Im honestly not a big fan of fishing Mt Tom. So i may so one more trip before ice sets in and then a few trips on the ice. Mt Tom has been terrible the last few seasons we use to nail trout (few big ones) right of the beach through the ice. Met a gentleman up there who showed us how he fished for them on Mt Tom we hit them pretty good for a few season. When he passed away the fishing slowed i'll never forget that.
If I HAVE to keep the salmon i will. With them being kept in the tanks and being so big/being fed hatchery food for so long not sure about the taste.
Please check out my youtube.com/squirtx16 for some more Mt Tom videos from a few years back.... |

I enjoy watching your videos on youtube,sometimes I can hear them very well though. Do you use the open or enclosed back for your go pros?.
Was that salmon 4 or 5 lbs? And what kind of rod/reel were you using?

I'm sure that eagle and osprey will snatch them if you don't want them. 
Then again.......I've seen fisherman on shore collecting dead floaters for themselves 
How do you like your Gopro? I have one but don't use it that much
I never figured out how to download.I have some salmon videos and bluefish coming up to the side of my yak and attacking bunker.

I have two gopro i have a hero2 and a hero3. the Hero2 has a mic and the hero 3 always stays in its water proof case so it depends on what camera i use.
Not sure what it weighed but i would put some were around 4. I have 4 quantom torsion rods, I only use okuma reels and epixor 20 and avenger 20 both are bait runners. |

hooked two. The first was a 4 minute fight on my ultra light 5 ft pole. Crazy fight. surface 3 times! My buddy Tommy was fighting this beast. I tightened the drag very slightly and he broke off when the net was being reached for. My fault ; ( Micro reel. Didn't wanted going all the way to the backing.
Second nibbled our bait for a good 10 minutes but never took the hook. Had to leave. It was just raining too hard.
Talked to your boy Dennis for about 10 minutes. Super nice guy! I've seen him up there many times.
Love that place. I'll be going up next Sunday if the weather is right.
Oh caught a Yellow Perch and a nice size Pickerel.
