How to pick apart a river drift for chinook (king) salmon

You may find a lot of videos that show you some epic moments and some techniques, but this one will break down everything that goes into picking apart a fishy looking stretch of water that you suspect holds a few chinook salmon. I talk about what parts of the drift and show you exactly where I fished before I found pay dirt. I talk about the process of finding the right cast and depth that produced this chinook. I also show 90% of the footage of the battle with this 13 lb chinook that really kicked my butt using its weight and size in the current to mercilessly pull line as it headed downriver. Drop me a question in the comments section if I can clarify anything I talked about here.
