Fun on the Inland Sea

[meangreen1]

Went out for a few hours this morning with my son Max. Started a little slow but then my son was able to hook into a Beauty of a salmon. It slammed the rigger hard and was airborn before Max was able to get to the pole. After clearing a rod to make space to land it in the middle his salmon started making lots of runs!! Taking a ton of line… for every 20 yards he reeled in the fish took out twice that. After a while we was able to get him close to the boat and as I dropped the net down to get him the salmon wasn’t ready and darted out making one last amazing jump before we managed him close enough where I was able to net him. Was short at only 25 1/2” but super fat and managed to tip the scale at 7 1/2lbs. Made for a fun morning along with some smaller silvers on the IS. Now just need to catch another one next weekend lol

Great fish John. Your sons smiles told the whole story. Glad to see you guys at the dock. Here is another pic of that PIG…

Beautiful FAT and healthy looking fish, I am sure your son will remember it for years to come. Good luck in the LCI!!

What a beauty! Congrats on that monster. Let's hope you can find another just like it this weekend.

There's nothing like a big fish. Last one I had on was a rainbow.

Congrats to Max and his father.
