The good news: I found the fish. The bad news: I didn't catch crap. Went out in the monsoon after work and fished the Auburn area. Fish rollin all over the place (95% of them pinks). I fished every spoon in my box. I caught one Jack and threw it back and I thought I snagged a really large stick. I reeled it in and it was no stick. It was the most horrific, beat up, worn out king I have ever seen. The thing was huge. It's skin was fallin off, you could see it's skull. I shudder just thinking about it. I hooked it in the side and it just let me real it in. No fight. Released it and it just sat there accentually saying to me, "Kill me. Please let me die." Spooked me and I switched holes. Tried Jigging no luck, tried a spinner, no luck. I am thinking next outing of weighting my spinner to get it deeper. I did talk to a few guys that caught some nice looking Coho fish eggs in really fast water. Not sure if spoons will work in water that fast. All and all a memorable trip!
