Got to the lake around 9:00am. It was a later start but my buddy got off work at 7:00am, and 45 min drive there. We tried bait for a while like last trip, and got some hits, but no hook ups. While he stayed with bait, I switched over to a silver and green spoon and began casting. After about 15 minutes when I planned to switch to something different a violent jerk bent my 9foot stealhead pole tip all the way to the water! I lost the fish at the boat, and it was only about 13in, but man did it fight. The next 3 casts got a hook up every time. I managed to boat 2. After that we switched up and began trolling. The fish hit on a wedding ring, flat fish, and the spoon. After a couple hours with many more stirkes, and violent first hits we had our limits. All fish were about 12-13 inch, but the way the hit sure made it seem larger. The first strike would be hard, followed by some air time, an easy real to the boat, and with loose drags some line peeling once they realized what was going on. Another awesome day at lake Ki.
