No offence Chris, but you need to stick to fishing and hire Rod to film your adventures.   :P :P

Were you getting hits on roe?

Very difficult to catch them without using roe but some say jigs work too bugs etc would work.

Great video Chris!
It reminded me of fishing for summer coho when a large school of fresh jacks came up to a pool.
I was fishing a small spoon and and hooking up on every other cast.
These little jacks will jump all over the place and self release after a dose of fun.
I didn't retain any as they were small, but were loads of fun on light gear. ;D

This one was about 14 inches. they run from that size up to 19 with the average around 15 or 16 inches. Not big I know but lots of fun hooking them and getting lots of bites. Landing them is another story, even with 2 hands.  ;D ;D

I still can't figure out how you managed to land that jack and still shoot the video. ;D
In my case, I was catching coho jacks which were like 10 to 12 inches, quite a bit smaller than your jack springs.
