 Got to the river around 10am and could barely see the other side due to the smoke from the bog fire. Pulling up to my spot I notice a familiar face, a nice lady who netted a few of my fish last week.  As I get out of my car I notice she has a fish on, hoping to return the favour I grab my net and quickly crawl down the rocks, when I get beside her we see the fish roll and notice its not a pink but a rather large chinook .   She very skillfully plays out the fish on her trout rod spooled with 10lb line, and then like a dream she guides the fish into the net.  The fish could only fit less then halfway into the net, and as I tried to lift it the net nearly bent in half so I made a quick grab for the tail and lifted it onto shore.  She took it to Berrys and it weighted out at 25lbs I believe, what makes the story even better is that she caught the fish on a one of Rodneys spoons she had found the day earlier. Definatly one of the more memorable fishing trips in years.

Pink fishing picked up around 1 and the action was very good, left by around 3 with 4 fish.  Many fish were also lost, at one point I made four casts and had a fish on every cast.

What an added bonus, a 25 lb. spring ! White or red ?

[THE_ROE_SLINGER]

WOW thats insane that thing must of put up a fight of life!!

[lucky]

 not sure if it was a white or red

[legend]

nice chinook!!!

[Obi Wan]

NICE! How long did it take to land that. The old rule of thumb is 1 min for every pound.

My guess is 25 min (round to 30).

Let us know if it's red or white.

[scruffy]

good for her very nice spring

lucky, she came back just after you left and bought 8 spoons!

Well, at least someone was skillful enough to turn a chinook around... While lucky, slick, LukeYVR, Chrome Mykiss dad were watching, I also tried to turn a chinook around that went 100mph but with no luck. I looked down on my reel and 3/4 of the line was already out. It eventually came off the hook.

I am not sure why Fish Assassin left so early, probably because he got fed up with spincasters on his right and left hooking one after another one. Fishing was on and off today. When it was on, it was HOT! I managed to hook at least 15, landed most of my fish near the beginning with Ron's help. I let them all go, but at the end I just remembered that I promised to bring fish home for a couple of people! I did the drive of shame back with an empty cooler in the end...

Some of the fish were incredibly strong today. There were a few times when I had to reel in really fast to keep up with the fish as it swam towards me.

LukeYVR was on fire today! He hooked into at least 6 in 20 minutes while we hooked nothing! Three casts, three fish, two landed!

Nice to see FishOn, gman, canoeman, slick, Obi Wan all got into fish today.

Slow down the retrieve, you'll get fish.
