See Joe's for Yourself

For as long as I can remember, my dream was to catch a 30-pound salmon. I never imagined I’d blow past that goal with the fish of a lifetime—a 52-pound giant king salmon! This incredible catch happened during an unforgettable trip to Joe’s Salmon Lodge in British Columbia, Canada, in 2025. Between the breathtaking scenery, world-class salmon fishing, and this absolute monster, it’s a trip I’ll never forget. If you love salmon fishing, Alaska-style fishing adventures, trophy fish, and epic outdoor experiences, you’re in the right place. Be sure to watch until the end to see the full fight and the moment this giant finally hit the net! 👍 If you enjoyed the video, please leave a like, subscribe, and let me know in the comments: What’s the biggest salmon you’ve ever caught? 🎣 Interested in booking your own trip?

How to do a Gaff Release! After years of ongoing research out of Bamfield it has become apparent that the Gaff Release is the least impactful form of releasing sport caught salmon. In this video, Brendan discusses the method with Martin Paish from the Sport Fishing Institute of British Columbia and teaches you how he does the gaff release for fish that are not being retained. Check out the video and use the method to start implementing this release strategy in your own recreational fishing! See you on the water!
