Hit the stilly hard today. The water was high with low visibility. I wasn't sure if it was worth it to drift boat the river today. With my doubts at first and almost calling it quits after drifting for a few minutes I decided to head down to the point of no return. A boat that previously drifted caught two silvers just below us and that gave us hope of catching fish. I toss my spinner and nibble nibble....a 20plus pound silver buck comes surfacing up and i'm yelling at my partner get the net!!! The silver was ready to net but too late it started to get pissed off and shook it's head a dozen times, did the coho roll and after a nervous 5 minutes we land this 20 pound monster into the boat check out the picture. My biggest coho in my life time. Next hole above I5 bridge in a back eddy this silver hit my spinner so hard it was like a lightning bold hitting my arm and shoulder. It surfaced and it was bright chrome. It fought 3 times harder than the 20lb silver previously. The chromer swam over my partners line and i'm yelling "cut your line!!" he's like NOO I don't wan't to lose my spinner. I'm screaming cut the freaking line!!!...He cuts it and saves my fish from breaking off....after a last nose dive beneath my boat we netted it and got my limit for the day. I also fought a 10 pound chum and i got to say pound for pound they are the hardest fighting salmon no doubt. My drag was screaming for a few minutes fighting the dog. All in all for a day that started out crummy turned out to be an amazing day fishing. I use to drift corky and yarn for silvers but i'm turning into a hardware purist. There is nothing like inticing a silver to slam your lure. We saw a fair number of silvers heading up the stilly but alot of them were locked jaw. We worked hard today to catch our fish. Two bites two silvers and one foul hooked chum.
