headed out to the river agian this morning, got there around 5:30.
the sun started to peak out. a few casts then fish on.
foul hooked. back it went.
had about 5 more foul hooks then hooked into a small coho, about 4 pounds. brought it to the bank. the hook came off his mouth, I ran over and gave it a big ole kick, that thing flew a good foot. LOL.
yea a foot. then it flopped around and back in the water it went.
bummer. I didnt want to diving in for it
had about 20 more foul hooks, 2 of them which were silvers.
then I finally caught my first pink of the day legally.
holy crap my arm was tired.
about 25 pinks hooked in the rectal area. that wore me out.
it might of been the overcast, and or the indians netting, but it was a slow morning full of bad karma.

out of the 20 people or so, only a few were hooking up.
had my limit by 11:00 am.
had to fill out a new crc

tight lines

If you are snagging that many fish then you are seriously doing something wrong

@ lo, they dropped most of there scales already. the only bright ones were the cohos. I'm done with the skok this year, I'll probably buy a gate key next year.

@returnofthefish I've never met him in person before, but forums reports yes.

@danny, it was just a bad day for me, was tired from sunday, had a slower reaction time, but still set the hook, lol
