I fished with Captain Dave Hunter aka "Phat Dog" in 2020 for salmon twice in the Sacramento River; we were skunk both trips. However, I believe Phat Dog to be a very good fisherman and teacher. Thus, I was elated that he invited me out once again. This time, we are to target landlocked king salmon from Folsom Lake. He introduced me to a locally manufactured "Hot Ticket Lure." Lo and behold, this short fishing trip turned out to be one of my most memorable: I landed my first landlocked King!
