Hey folks.
I had a busy week of college and was looking very forward to getting downtown and trying to get a King to play.
Got downtown just before dusk and washed some glow cleos. Decided to go to a crankbait to rattle an annoyance bite.
I went to pull out a pearl bomber long A, but my firetiger HJ got all jumbled up with it, so I put it on instead thinking, yeah I've done good with
Husky Jerks on salmon. Sure enough 10 casts later, massive slam and I got into a good salmon, he made 4 or 5 really nice long runs.
Thankfully two high school aged kids saw me fighting it and watched, so I asked one of them to take a picture for me.
I was quite happy to have got to catch this fish after thinking about it and daydreaming about fishing all week.
I got him on my little bench I use to remove the hook and got another quick picture.
Then, I wished him good luck spawning and sent him on his way, he revived very quickly and thrashed away!
I was considering staying around and throwing some slashbaits for walleye but I opted to rent a movie and wait for my girlfriend to get home for some victory activities, caveman style.
My next target, a st. mary's brown trout! wish me luck. Tight Lines!
