My brothers co worker is fishing in Alaska, everyone would think this is a fish story but it is true. He caught an estimated 50 lb kingsalmon when an Orca- killer whale bit the fish in half 15 feet from the boat.

I’m gonna try fishing for carps, my question is how do I remove and store the line I have on the reel, and how do I replace it with the 25lb line that I want to use? On that note what’s the best bait to use for carps? Any tips you like to share?
PS: I just got my fishing license 2 days ago, so pardon my dumb questions.
all you need to do is thread the line through the eyes of the rod, flip the "bale" (the wire wire thing on the reel) and tie a uni knot on the spool,
http://www.in-fisherman.com/magazine/gui…
than get a spool of 14, to10 pound test Sufix Siege (when your reeling the line in, make sure the label of the spool is face up) it’s great line for beginners, it’s coronation and abrasion resistant and has very little amount of memory. after you tie the knot on spool, than you take a sock, or old rag and very very tightly pinch the line between you fingers with one hand and with the other reel in the line making sure you get the line on tight when it looks like the right amount reel about 5 more cranks, than you snip the line with some clippers and squeeze the line if it’s squishy than you need to take the line off to the knot and start over.
Worms work well, but it also GREATLY depends on the kind of carp we’re talking about, but for commons, corn works well along with dough. A good, less expensive dough is a dog food dough, replace the flour with finely ground up dog food, add water, make sure it’s a consistency that will stay on the hook. A simple way to find out is to get a hook and put the dough on the hook, place the hook with the dough in a five gallon bucket, wight for about half an hour, when you look at the hook the dough should still be on, if it is not, than you need make it thicker. but the problem is is to getting the dough into a powdery consistency. Maggots, also play an important roll in carp fishing, all you needs a simple bobber, split shot, and a bobber, fish around reeds and Lilly pads foe best results. Corn flakes in soaked milk made into a round ball and put on a hook the a bobber and split shot also works very well, you can see if it stays on the hook following the the same proses and with the dog food dough.

The most common fishing line is the monofilament line, but there are also fluorocarbon lines that have a high tensile strength, and they are also denser than water. Learn about the all-purpose co-polymer fishing line with help from a professional bass fisherman in this free video on fishing line.

I bought a Chladophora aegagropila moss ball from my local pet store. It was sold with fishing line and an anchor attached. The top is growing well but the bottom is not. Should I remove them?
Moss Balls have to be rolled….I have one and every week I give it 1/4 turn to keep it round….If it was me Yes remove the line and anchor.

I’m new to fishing. I like to buy some of the hooks I use on leaders, but how do I attach the loop on the end to my regular fishing line?
If I understand you correctly, I think you mean the hooks that are bought already attached to a short length of mono with a loop on the end, and you want to know how to attach your main line to that loop?
Well, one way would be to tie another loop in the end of your main line and cow-hitch the two loops together. What’s a cow-hitch? Have a look at http://www.go-saltwater-fishing.com/paternoster.html.
Alternatively you could tie you mainline to the loop in the hook line with a uni-knot, as shown at http://www.go-saltwater-fishing.com/uni-knot.html.
And if you’re new to fishing, stick with it. It will bring you endless pleasure. Good luck, and tight lines.

I have become rather fond of using braided fishing line, but have found it rather difficult to achieve a clean cut extra line. The line seems to fray before cutting, anyone have any recommendations??
Use fingernail clippers. You can find a set of "nippers", which are smply fingernail clippers anyway, in the sporting goods section of any store that sells fishing equipment.

I’m a beginner fisherman and am not sure sure what everything is even for. Say I’m using a spinner, where does the swivel go up on the line and will any knot work? Also with bait fishing will the swivel be in the same spot?
I use swivels between my fishing line and my leader. I use an improved cinch for most of the knots I tie. You can learn knots here: http://www.netknots.com/html/fishing_knots.html

I recently bought a fishing rod that I have online used twice. The problem is, the reeling line is really loose and wavy, and I don’t know why. Are all new fishing rods like this, or is this a quality problem? How can I fix this? It’s a Shakespeare fishing rod, if that matters.
It sounds as if the line just hasn’t been spooled under sufficient tension.If you can find somewhere out in the wide open put your reel onto your rod, thread it up, fix the end of the line to something, open the bail arm of the reel and walk backwards letting the line strip off the reel.
When all the line has stripped off ( that is likely to be a couple of hundred yards line) close the bail arm, run the line through the palm of your right hand, grasp the rod with the little finger of the same hand and begin reeling in, applying a bit of resistance to the line as you do so.
You will obviously have to walk back towards where you secured the line as you go. Once you’ve done this I doubt that you’ll need to do it again. The resistance produced by normal use of your reel should keep the spooling reasonably tight. Hope that helps.

I have no paperwork for either model that instructs you how to change the fishing line. I’ve seen schematics for the model 170 but no instructions for either model. These are the ’60-’70′s vintage reels. Thank you.
Have you try to take the top off because there should be a area in there where line suppose to go but if you have any problem you should just go to a local bait and tackle shop and im pretty sure they would help you or they would even ask if you want line on them and they would gladly put fishing line on your reel for a cheaper price then if you bought a whole 300 YRD line at the store.
