CHROME Matt!:cheers: Now you have to get back into practice with the nuances of fish pics :) U know, hold the OTHER side of the fish's gill plate when holding fish. And when taking pic of lure in fish's mouth, make sure it is still wiggling. Just teasing. That there is going to be gooood... Nice to see a couple coho pics showing up on reports:thumright :thumleft:

It came on an orange/glitter combo fatfish plug in about 13 feet of water. That was the only one for us today. Not nearly as many fish around as there was on Monday, seemed to be MORE boat traffic. Didn't see a lot of hookups, maybe 2 or so other than ours. Saw a couple of old timers foul hook a HUGE ho on a plug (my guess is he swung at it and missed, hooked himself in the belly) dang thing couldn't have been but a few pounds shy of 20, just an absolute piggy.

Ok, Matt... give up the details....

Nice fish dude!

Can you make it to 522 with a prop? If so where is the best place to launch up river? Lewis or High Bridge?
