Yeah it was a very fun outing, Myseld lil fisherman, testo, nuggy, and bigsteel all fished the same area, Nuggy got one on right away, measured 31.5 inches. At arrival many chrome springs were jumping, a few well over 40lbs. The action slowed down, Hooked lots of springs but had a hard time landing them, Was the same story with bigsteel. At around 11:30, (30 mins before the end of derby), Me and bigsteel witnessed two chrome 50plus pound chinook jump, Then seceonds later both floats rocket under water and we are into a double header, However after a long battle both fish were lost
We then called it quits and went to meet the other fellows. Deadhead took first place with a 38incher, then merc wrapped up 2nd with a 37incher, and thick rick came 3rd with a 32. We then proceeded to the habitat fundraiser, were we had an awsome salmon lunch and ran into Fisherforever, rodney, and Chris G. lots of great prizes and gift baskets were won, unfortunatley not by us
On the way home stopped by the canal just to look, We saw 2 beatiful skeins of chum roe sitting on the beach!!! I asked the angler beside them if he was having it, and he said no! Bigsteel hears this and makes a mad dash down the hill sprinting as fast as he can, However he took the long way and I jumped down the 10 foot dirt hill, making it to the prize roe first
But seeing the sad look of defeat on his face encouraged me to give it to him

Great day on the water!!, had lots of fun!
