#13758, "newport jetty 10/04"
|
im new here on the boards so im catching up. went fishing 1
day with a friend to the newport jetty. the bonito were
running heavy and we were catching all we wanted, i was using
my light tackle setup, a 5 ft rod, shimano stradic 2000 reel,
6lb test, and throwing a 3/8oz kastmaster in a mackeral
pattern, after a dzn or so bonies i was reeling in my
kastmaster and just as it came into view i saw a huge swirl on
it and felt an instant tug, i set the hook and the battle was
on! this thing almost spooled me, my buddy came over to help
because i had to run up and down these slippery rocks chasing
this thing, no idea what i had hooked up, thought a shark or
something, after i dont know how many minutes i could tell she
was getting tired, and as it came close we could not believe
what i had hooked...a king salmon ! a pretty dam big 1 too in
my book lol, we were just stunned, i was exhausted from
climbing up and over all these large rocks, i almost went in
the drink many times. we wieghed her, got some pics, and i
tried forever to revive her, but i wore her out too much, she
was gone, so a salmon bbq was had that night, here is a pic of
me looking haggard after a long battle on light tackle, sje
wieghed 12lbs even. a day to remember thats for sure.

I don't think they're in season yet. But, if it's dead I can see why you might take it. Either way though, way to go on the catch. Sounds like some fun boulder dashing.
Amish Ed You can't catch it again if it's dead!
