Finally picked one up over the 20 mark.

A9 140 FOW with 70 feet of bait showing on the screen.

Nice

Don't go and get it all chewed up! I'm planning on drowning it Wednesday morning

Reported this on a different thread but my uncle and crew caught 3 today. A couple 10's and a 15, all male and in deeeep water and lots of cable. Oh, it was at pilot.

2 chances 1 fish for Tony and I


On the Bar. Deep.

Went in for 1/2 a dozen herring from Bud.( Is he always that cranky? ) Anyway I noticed he had 12# downrigger balls for $47 . Shocked I pointed at his throat and said "What's that?"
"My Adams Apple, whaddya think?"
I said " I thought it was your belly button your balls are so high"

yes, he's always that cranky. has been forever


nice job on the fish!

Beutimus!

It's not always about fish. Check out the sunrise this morning



It really was this color!


Oh yeah and this Selfie! 17# Buck. Same old lure.

Nice on all accounts there gutz.

Side note- what mooching reel is that and how do you like it? Deciding between Shimano and daiwa.

Nice

18#'s today for Bennett! He needed some help on this one.

Nice going boys!

Gutz, we're you on possesion bar again? I assume you were fishing deep water. I've been hearing the hook ups have been happening in deeper water.

I'll be out there tomorrow morning with everyone.

OMG! Bennett! That thing is huge!

I have both the Shimano and the Diawa. I have owned that Shimano for 20 years, so I would have to say it is my favorite. They both perform about the same. If I really had to make a choice though, I would go with Ryley's anodized blue Islander

Friday I was with the heard at PnP - Pilot. I have got most of my fish this summer at either 123' or 155'. I don't remember how deep that one was but I was putting on suntan lotion when it hit. I wonder how I am going to get that crap off the inside of the roof

I'd rather not take out a second mortgage to buy a reel nice as they are.

Damn extra fins!

Released a fish that was all of 25lbs at PnP this morning.

My biggest Puget Sound King since it re-opened for summer King retention however many years ago its been now.

Nice bite at PnP this morning.

Still I see no reports of sizable Coho yet.. must be early still eh?

Usually resident coho for a bit more CJ. Ocean fish will start trickling in over the next month.

Lost a real nice one off the east side of possesion this morning at 8. It would have been my biggest salmon ever. The thing hit a purple haze hoochie 42" behind a red glow flasher.

About the mooching reels, I own diawa m-ones and have been really happy with them. There is talk of their drag being crappy but I haven't seen it yet. Besides, there are after market companies that make drag washers which can basically upgrade the reel for under $10 if you feel the drag needs improving. Smoothdrag being one that comes to mind. They're fun reels! Except when the fish comes at you (like what happened to me today). You better have forearms like Mark McGuire. Gymspiration for tomorrow.

CJ -
Not sure what is considered a "sizeable" coho this time of year. As supcop said this time of year the coho most commonly encounter are those resident fish - 2 to 4 #s.

That said while mooching in MA 10 last week I caught one unmarked coho that was pushing 6#s and lost a similar sized fish to a seal. Since I released the fish I can not say whether it was a large resident coho or part of the first wave of ocean fish. That said most years don't really expect to see many such fish for another 3 weeks or so.
