Had someone asked for recommendations for a guide and Terry had given his experience, then no it would not have been spamming. But bringing up a guide in a post about weather conditions is obviously spam, but i guess with a high enough post count it is tolerated.
Hopefully Rick will chime in.
Its ok, I didn't say the fish was foul hooked, just lined. You probably noticed the fish slid on the line before it hit the hook, this is why the key is to reel fast and set the hook when you feel pressure.
Legal? yes, Ethical? that's debatable.
Fishing for life this salmon was 100% lined using the 3 way bottom rig, usually with a marshmallow or earplugs if your smart.
It is a 100% legal way of fishing for them, just unethical in the eyes of many.
The fish are almost always hooked in the mouth.
I don't have a problem with the idea, my problem is the bills being made by Terry look like a cut and paste from a kindergarten class.
I would be insulted if I had my picture put on one.
Luckily I don't fish musky.
