Hit snohomish at bob heirman wildlife preserve. took the nephew aka mini me. hes 8. Dropped some crawfish pots the day before. Salmon heads and guts work alot better than catfood. got 8 keepers and a bunch of lil ones. We both were pretty excited being the first time doin it.

We both were throwing spoons. he was using a red and yellow(red skins colors) I was using blue,green,silver(sea hawks colors) the nephew choice the colors. Glad he did. His lil pole brought in a small rain bow. let that go. really got the lil man exited.

Then came my turn. Though I had gotten snagged on something then all of a sudden line started spooling. fought it as it was running up and down river. Jumped a few times.My nephew was freaking out with exitement.finally after several minutes of fighting started to reel the fish in. had my nephew come and do the fun part. Should have seen how big his eyes got when he say the steelhead come in. Not sure if it was a native or not. the fin looked clipped but looked a lil more than a healed nub. Butin the end it didnt matter the fish spit the hook sitting in the shallow and swam away. (guess it wassick of me trying to decideits fate.

I went with a 5 because taking lil man bring back all the memories of fishing with my dad and hopefully ones lil man will never forget. cant find my camera cord need to post some pics of lil man.
