Random bank spot on Short School Rd. this morning 8am to 9:30am. Hooked into some sort of Salmon on the 2nd cast of about my 3rd jig, so like 50+ casts. Didn't feel like a Pink but who knows with their size this year.
I was fishing my 6# setup for no good reason anymore, the fish are too big for this gear when you are trying to keep them out of snags but I'm dumb and like the rush of light test. Didn't have the run of a Pink, I still should have let my drag out a little more BUT this fish was running and diving hard and heading towards a patch of snags. I tried to bring him up a little more and that's when it ended for this battle.
Here is the YOUTUBE of me trying to keep this fish away from the snags and snapping my line (action starts about 1:20): https://youtu.be/2vex1TVbHg0
