This report is a little late in getting posted but I had a fun time at the PSA derby in area 11. I caught a nice misclipped chinook and decided to release it rather than take any chances. I decided to go back out a few days later with my friend Warren. We started our day by point defiance, saw a lot of bait in the morning but couldnt find any willing biters in the mix. As the day went on we moved over to point dalco and metered a school of pinks and hooked one up on a pink hoochie. Nice to put the first humpy of the year in the boat. After another 30 minutes or so the deep rod pops the clip and the drag starts screaming. I told my buddy to grab it and the fight was on. I was thinking we might have a big one on but it ended up being a really scrappy 9lb clipped king. We finally got a hatchery fish in the boat. I just seemed to catch all the fish with the extra fin this year but ended on a good note and a fun memory. Tight lines!
