Well I know one guy had fun! Watched him hook a rather good size Chinook and that fish took him up and down the river in front of the house! What impressed me was when he got it to the boat he simply cut the leader and let his spinner go with the fish. That is how you fish tidewater to keep Chinook mortality down... do not handle the fish at all just cut the leader the barbless hook will fall out. Whoever you are guy thumbs up!
