Redemption!
I drove out this morning even though I thought the river might be blown out and when I arrived it looked nasty.
I thought about leaving but one of the 2 friends that were meeting me today said that he had also arrived.
That forced me to stay since I promised to show him a few tricks.
We threw a few pieces of silverware around the Crossing but had no love.
Then we decided to move to a lower spot as the day saw more light.
Immediately I started hooking into pinks and they were slamming the Colorado like there is no tomorrow. "In the mouth" fellas!
Got one nice chrome pink which I gave to my buddy so his wife would let him get out again. ;D
About an hour into it, I throw one again and as soon as it hits the water, wham bam, got something on.
I started to pull it in and lo and behold it's a coho and it's big.
The fight didn't last that long, it was done quickly and ended up with a nice hatch 10lb buck.
It's not as big as the one I lost yesterday, but I will sleep well tonight.
I had probably 40-50 pinks in 4 hours so I got my exercise too.
All in all it was a good day and it didn't rain a whole lot.

Hi adriaticum, I have something I wanted to share with you, I think we meet last year on the river. Could I get your email?
-
Did you weigh that coho? Or is 10lbs a guess? I have noticed coho look like they weigh a lot more than they actually are. My wifes coho she just caught at 10lbs. I was very surprised at how little they weigh compared to how big they looked.

Yeah, it was 9 and something gutted.
So I figure it should be just over 10.
It looked much bigger to me on the river :)
It's also the person holding the fish and how it's photographed.
The pros know how to make it look really big ;)

Haha, but last year wasn't an odd year. I'll try to send it now.

Those 2 are from sunshine coast. Everyone I run into is claiming they have 15 lb coho until I weighed one I guessed was 15 lbs and was very surprised at how little it actually weighed.

Lol, that's a given.

Why is it every time you get questioned about the weight of your fish, you remove the picture? I saw the picture yesterday and that Coho was 7lbs tops.

Do I know you?

Regardless of the size congrats on the coho and the good nights sleep...whenever I lose one I always relive what I did wrong or what the fish did right.

If I recall, you caught those fish at Chapman Creek. Those fish are tanks for that small stream!
-
Yes the fish were caught at Chapman creek. That creek has some 30lb springs as well. Pretty big fish for such a small little system.

Nice fish Alex. ;D
Thanks bud, that fish was worth the sleepless night before.
