I had an evening's fishing on the River Dee last week where I managed to hook a couple of salmon. Unfortunately, they both came off during the fight but I did get some footage of the first salmon I hooked.
It felt like a really good fish and I could do nothing to stop its's powerful runs, It eventually broke my leader round a submerged rock after a few minutes. The fish just kept boring deep and it never showed itself once through out. Who knows what size it was but it certainly knew what it was doing. Probably a good thing that I didn't see it as I'd still be having sleepless nights a week later!
Excuse my bad language at the end of the clip!
