So I told my boss today I had to help someone move and I needed to take the day off.
Didn't say who, what or where, so I didn't lie, I just did not partake in disclosure of any kind.
Thugginn4life and I hit the 'slaw before the sun was up, you see, I towed his boat...so that was what I was movin'..a boat...to the river...Very important stuff.
We hit the water about 06:56, and around 07:15 I had a take down at the "Totem Pole Hole" (I bet you don't know where that's at ). FISH ON. It fought hard, and didn't want to come up, this fish was runnin' deep. Got it in close and new instantly it was a 'nook...and so I was stoked. It's been 2 years since I've tagged a 'nook on that river since last year I really didn't try..at all since I was targetting coho on Tahkenitch. Before I saw this fish, I thought it was gonna be absolutely MASSIVE, it was runnin' and taking my line with it, my reel was screamin'. LOL. it wasn't as big as originally thought, but i didn't care, it fought like a big fish, plus, I had a wimpy steelhead rod so it was bending something fierce. So after a good fight, finally got it in the boat, and it was lights out good sir Chinook. This fish was CHROME, and I just got done cleaning it, and noticed he was absolutely covered in sea lice.
Had another take down a while later, and then had a fiesty good sized coho on, that came unbuttoned after a decent acrobatic fight.
Andy got a real nice Coho, big and bright, and he was released unscathed without becoming a seal snack.
All in all, awesome day on the water. Couldn't have asked for a better day. Only know of one or two other unconfirmed fish caught.
25.5 inches, 10.5 pounds
Pictures coming soon.
