Hit the point today to close out my regular salmon season before moving on to hunting. I am glad we did. Though the fishing was not the fastest it has been, as a matter of fact, it was dead slow for the most part, we did manage to catch three.

We took out a couple of new fisherman and to our astonishment, Rodney Taylor, a co-worker was able to land a beauty of a King. Still fairly bright and tipping the scales at near 40 lbs. !!!!


Guess there are still some big-uns out there! We managed another small BM and one silver to boot. These were also caught by another novice. All in all, a great trip. Biggest fish I have seen caught in the Sound. Bigest I have netted as well.

I will post pics as soon a they are developed and scanned in. For Rodney, it was truly a fish of a lifetime.

(Fish was 99 cm overall length. Caught right in front of the boathouse in 230ft of water. DR set to 77 feet, speed at 2.0 knots. Using pink hotspot with Coyote spoon in "Army Truck" 26" leader and herring smelly jelly.)

Can't wait to see that photo De.

I am looking forward to them myself, and I netted it!

Three different, scales three different weights. Unfortunately I did not get a girth measurement to calculate.

Boathouse scale said 36.5, Berkley spring scale said 37, and brand new Berkely digital says 38.7. So under 40 lbs, but it is close enough for my book!

Wow, Dont i wish i am almost always out there and get lucky to catch a 5lb silver, i have been using a green hotspot with a coyote spoons and been almost always hitting schools of dogdfish(lol). So were you out there for the morning bite? Might hit it tomorrow if it doesn't rain to hard. So have you heard about the mouth of the puyallup?

Fish,

We were out at about 5:30. Did not catch anything until this big buck at 3:30pm, then caught the other two within an hour or so of that. Were a lot of dogfish around, we caught a few of those too.

Have not heard about the mouth. Guys at work have been hitting the river hard and doing well though.

WOW! That's impressive! Can't wait to see the pics.
