Thing is, if I was fishing for survival, I wouldn’t even bother trying to catch salmon.
I’d be at the local ponds filling my stringers with crappies and bluegills and sunfish and the occasional smallmouth bass...
Those little panfish are bony buggers, but they will hit just about anything!
I find that they are most likely to show up with 400K volts applied correctly, or stuff that goes boom. (We won't discuss walnut hulls)
Certainly not currently lawful, and I don't suggest that anyone do that.
"You gonna fish? Or you gonna talk?" Old joke...
