Finally took the bird out to Sammamish and tossed a line for a few hours. First cast, first fish of the day. Tossed the DS out in 25' and it went slack after about 5-10. Quickly tightened the line and set in. Pressure and slow roll then 1 jump. Net, done! I thought this could be one of "THOSE" days but he ended up being the biggest brought in. Just over 3 pounds. Lost a largie flippin in the pads :( Also, found a potential $99 citation in my window when I was leaving for "Faded Discover Pass". Luckily I was able to talk with the ranger and he didn't issue an actual ticket but wanted to make sure I was going to get my pass re-issued. Overall, decent day.
