Nice chromer for the lady! I see your confidence has built to the point where you carry two nets now for the eventual double. Since we can use two rods for salmon down here, I am hoping for a solo double some day, going to be a blast.
Best,
I carry it on the PB specifically to minimize stress on any coho that we might release as follows
well it was rainy this morning and we didn't get out for sunrise fishing but with a high tide about 2pm and 4 herring left from my 6 hours on the kayak yesterday, why not toss the rods in the boat and go see the any salmon want to play...
my wife has not been on the boat for any of our salmon catching this year but she has been on for many skunk days; it got so bad that she had started calling herself "the cooler"...
took care of that today, this one hooked up like a smallish chinook but went into acrobatic mode right by the boat, trying that "spit the hook at you" thing that coho love to do, problem is, it took a herring and had a 4-0 hook buried in the corner of it's mouth..then it made a nice run away from the boat...nice fight and easy netting, taped out as a 30" hen that tipped the scales at 12.5#...well worth putting ink on the tag! cheers, roger
