I would add that when theyre in an aggressive mood it seems they want to kill anything in their space. A few weeks back I even had one chomp on my float and not let go.

I've seen this happen. Makes you wonder about using topwaters in the rivers lol.

Ha wow I've always wanted to try topwater for salmon. Never got around to it.

 

Nice video and fish! Link this video everytime some dude says salmon don't bite in rivers.

The guys who say they don't bite are the same guys who try do get them when their are on the spawning beds.

Last week I saw two bucks go at it in shallow water, it was amazing to watch.

Maybe I'll try top water next fall with a subsurface lure.

I had a old timer argue with me saying I was lining the fish with my lure.

Thanks for the video, Pump. Last weekend I hit crappy tire and bought me a smaller kwik fish. Next morning I was on a trib. Had my first salmon hooked on the second cast. I dropped it right near a buck, who turned his head, followed for a bit. I slowed my retrieve, and it was a lazy swipe, clear bite!

Excited as hell I tried to do too much and lost the fish. I found him again with the lure hanging out.

Trout and salmon can bite lures on their spawning beds, but it might not be a good idea to catch them that way in locations where they naturally reproduce.

There are plenty of pools to target them.
