He was catching chinook (king) salmon, not kokanee (sockeye) salmon. I've been pulling Rapalas on the surface off my planer boards at the Gorge for the past 3 years hoping to snag the bonus rainbow for my 4 fish limit. Doesn't happen very often and I've never cuaght a kokanee on those Rapalas. I have caught a couple off spoons fishing for lake trout and tha one off the J-plug. That's it. Catching a kokanee (sockeye) salmon off any kind of a crank bait or fish imatation bait is always going to be a rare thing. IMHO.
