Kanektok King Tugs – Video

King salmon tugs video
Listen to it sing below!

There’s no doubt that one of the most alluring things about swinging flies is the constant anticipation of that electrifying grab while under tension. After all, as they say, the tug is the drug right?

Well, if the tug is the drug, then a tug from a king salmon is the most illicit kind.. Don’t believe us? Check out the video from our pal, Nic Jepson, of a bunch of takes while spey fishing for kings at Alaska West.

Listen to that reel scream!

    What I want to know is, who is vaping while they fight a king?! King hooked up in one hand, blueberry cotton candy in the other…

    Jeppolino is at it again. IMHO He should be banned from the USA. Makes it look too easy.
