But I think we've all seen video of salmon and birds tearing up a bait ball. I think this is the scenario where the trailor gets them by accident. They tear up a school knocking as many herring silly, with or without physically touching them, as they can and then swoop around and gobble up the stunned herring. I don't see this very often in PS but anywhere on the ocean when mooching for feeding Kings, especially in AK, this is a very common if not normal situation.

When I'm teaching someone to mooch if they get that "WHAK," reel in a few turns but don't feel the rod loading up it's drop, drop, drop that bait and hold on!!! Reeling to the surface to check your bait is the absalute worse thing one can do in this scenario.
