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:

Nice story and nice fish. Did you keep it? Looks like from the pic you are letting it go. Anyway congrats on your first fallie!!
 
Thank you for sharing this.
 
Sorry you had reel troubles. Frustrations like that can definitly put the damper on the day. Sounds like things worked out well though.
