My first king fall!!!

waco
I know you waiting for my report so here it is!! :lol: so I end up not working on monday and instead of going to fish eagle creek and have the whole creek for my self I decided to hit the northwest and give a chance to the coastal rivers to treat me right!! And I had an ok day.
So I got to my target water a little bit after7am and I got my fishing rod and I put togueter my bobber set up and all of a sudden my reel didn't want to work!!:shock: I was so mad I checked my stuff last night and everything was just perfect for a good day on the water but nope :naughty: my reel was against me!! At the point I didn't know what to do :think: I just drove almost 2 hours and didn't want to just go back home and not give a try!! So I got a screw driver from my car and I took apart the reel and couldn't figure out anything wrong so I decide to leave up river and try to find some steelies but didn't find anything only old dark springers so I decide to leave the trask and give a try to the wilson on my way back home and I passed so many good holes but not for my steelhead setup, every time I saw a good salmon hole got mad :mad: then I drove by a real good steelhead hole and surprise :shock: nobody there, I turned around, got out of the car, get my stuff and here was my chance :pray: first I tried some new stuff I made with my fly rod and nothing, after 30 min of nothing all of a sudden fish rolling that got me exited til I remember my salmod reel was broken, then I spotted 2 steelies o maybe were jacks :think: so I got some eggs and I drift it second cast... Nothing 3rd cast felt a bite, I set the hook and nada but I saw the flash, that got me exited :) so I put some more eggs cast against and bam set the hook FISH ON!!! damn what a fight the thing was giving me!!! I really thought I wasn't going to be available to land it and after about 10 min of a hard fight, and stripping line down river and going behind a boulder finally got it at the bank I thought was a coho before landing it but nope:naughty: I got my first king fallie!! I just had to stop and have a break my day was paid off not a huge normal fall nook, but it was a king 25 inch !! There was more fish in the hole!! I saw them but no more fish for me!! I guess was the perfect size for my rod a little bigger and I wouldn't be available to land one!! So no pics I dont have a computer but I have the pic from my phone!!! It seems that I can download pics from my phone to change my avatar so there it is my first king fallie for me!! Not bad!! :clap:

Sorry you had reel troubles. Frustrations like that can definitly put the damper on the day. Sounds like things worked out well though.
