Set up north of burns ditch around 8am at 53 fow and pointed the bow east. Marked some baitfish and circled near the 4, lost a coho, threw back a coho and kept a nice coho. Decided to keep heading east and keep looking for kings. Got to north of the green can and took a big rip, it was ominous, like a monster from the deep. Buried the board several times even after putting the kicker in idle. After a serious throw down I was able to get it in the net and on a scale.
31lb king!
imagine my embarrassment when I noticed the decimal and saw the unit of measurement, turned out to be a few ounces shy of 20. I'll take it though, its a dandy.
trolled all the way to the pavilion with another 6lb king in the box.
Ran all kinds of spoons early but eventually settled on a blue warrior spoon on a 100 copper that took the smaller king and meat rig on the 150 copper that took the bigger king, rigger down 40 ft took nothing and slider with a mixed veggie got all the coho.

That’s a beautiful fish. I’m jealous! Seriously though, that is a healthy king salmon. I’m glad you got a chance to get into them. I only had Sunday to go fishing but it was a bad day to go out due to conditions. Too windy for me. Hopefully there are more around next week to be had.

Congrats. Nice fish!

Still nice fish. We can dream about thirty pounders. LOL. My Searunner 190, "Four "D's" and a "C". Retirement money well spent. The following user(s) said Thank You: kingme
