    Lovely shot! As far as I understand, Atlantic salmon survive after they spawn while Pacific salmon (the only ones I have been around), die after they spawn.

    I wonder why this is so???

    Benjy...this is the most beautiful shot. I wonder what this would like look if you had done a slow shutter shoot? Will you be able to freeze this salmon's jump? Probably not...my silly question...never mind...

    I'd say definitely not. Trying to photograph leaping salmon is the most difficult thing I've ever tried and I only ended up with one shot that I thought was worth anything. You tend to end up with a lot of water-with-nothing else and/or bits of salmon going out of frame. They are moving amazingly fast as they leap.

    So, on that basis, well done, Bernard. A cracking image.

    Benjy, you are lucky to be there catching them really fresh. I have to buy ours at an Asian wet market an hour drive away from where we live. Fresh salmon keeps in the fridge between 1-2 days and properly stored (I vacuumed pack mine), it will last at least 6 months. Mine last less than two months even if I vacuum pack them as we eat a lot of fish and shellfish here at home.
