OK, anyone looking at JkbWorld.com in the last week would probably mistake it for some kind of cooking site, with smoked tuna and clam chowder on the top of the page. So, just to make sure that doesn’t happen, here’s some actual footage of fishing going on out at Barton Park on the Clackamas River. Yeah, I admit, it’s a crappy video of me landing a Pikeminnow. So let me set it up: I tossed my line out and then got a text message. I took my iphone out of the ziploc bag I usually keep it in to check the text, when suddenly, down goes my float! I set the hook and felt something lightweight on the end. So I switched my phone onto video mode, clipped it to my vest and reeled the bugger in. Les Stroud of Survivorman would probably take a look at my crappy self-camerawork with the clip obscuring the view and shake his head sadly, while Bear Grylls would probably eat the Pikeminnow in disgust…
This next video is a quick pan-around up at Barton Park after I hiked as far upstream as I could get without going swimming. There is a monster tailout before the water converges into a fast, deep channel. As you can see, the salmon and steelhead fishing was REALLY slow, otherwise, I might be fishing and not goofing off making videos!
