It was a pretty slow day today, i went 3/7 however.

I got out to the Skok at about 10:30 this morning, and on about my 10th cast or so I got a pink that was about 6 pounds or so, didnt want any pinks-it went back. After that i hooked into 3 more, that all spit the hook before I could bank 'em. At about 1:30 I caught a jack,right in the mouth ! Was about to give it a bonk( didnt), woops! It had a no no fin ! :( Back it went. Hooked into 2 more they spit the hook ! And then at about 3:00, i finally had a nice one on, legal, in the mouth, it was clipped, almost had it to the bank, i yellde to one of my buddies to bring a net,the fish heard that word and it ran way back out, finally got it in, and was able to bonk this one, a nice chromer. About a 14 pound hen. My set-up today was a 7ft leader, 3/4 oz lead, and chartreuse yarn. Overall had a pretty good day, kinda slow, i keep wantin to make it out to the Puyallup- but I dont want to leave the big boys ! LOL, anyways good luck and tight lines guys !

Btw,, the fish in the pictures are the same fish.

Great job on the fish - hey those pinks are nothing to turn your nose at - we did a blind taste test and the pinks held up just fine.
