One of these days, I'm gonna have to go with you when you go to check out the hype. Nice fish man. Way to go man.

That must have been a bunch of fun pulling that fish in! Nice job on the early springer!

Were you using a sideplaner? I'm interested in knowing how you rigged the kwikfish assuming that you were on the bank that is....

 

[beaverfan]

Sweet, way to go! I think I'm gonna give er a shot on Thursday.

I'm needing to pick up some k-14's. If I was to get 2 or 3, what colors would you suggest?
Thanks, Ed

I really like the green-chrome-yellow tigerstriped with the touch of orange under the first hook... I can go out and look and get the actual name of that model. But I have come to rely very much on the chrome and green combo for any king salmon Im chasing. The fish today was just dumb luck.... even a blind squirrel, occasionally finds a nut!

 

[SNDSLGR]

Nice fish! That old saying... "any color as long as its green"

double trouble
fickle pickle
the grinch


There are the color names of 3 proven nook killers.. good place to start.

 

[fishwithdynamite]

Dumb luck or not, its springer for dinner. Beautiful fish.

[Cohosanders]

:clap: Good job halibut.It is all about checking the hype!!!! I have never caught a springer so I am definitely STOKED for this return. Way to follow your instincts.

 

[Kodiak]

[osmosis]
