How I KAYAK Fish for KING SALMON on Seattle's Puget Sound (and why I do it this way)

Great day on the water! Landed a 29.5," 14lb king just at the mouth of the Duwamish river. I started at 7 AM and got a fish to the boat in less than 20 minutes but it somehow shook free right at the net. About 5 hours later I managed to land this one!
