Earlier this week I headed down to SW Washington to meet Keith, know on this board as Stlhdr1 and his buddy James aka Perfect Drift. I planned to work Monday and fish Tuesday with Keith and James on a famed SW Washington river. Know understand that Keith had been telling me that him and his buddy, James, were awesome fisherman and I had better be ready to be outgunned. I thought "hmmmmmm, we'll see about that" as many of you on the board know that I am a skilled steelheader.

Well, James hooked two chrome summers and Keith hooked one in the first hole on three separate passes. I was in shock as it all happened within the first 20 min of fishing. The very next hole I hit a chromer and redeemed myself. As the day went on I played net boy for James and Keith as soon we had hooked over 10 fish and I still was contributing only one fish to the tally. "Uh, oh" I thought as I needed to catch up fast. I did just that hitting three fish back to back. We even called up Keith's sister to come meet us and not only did she meet us in the sled, but she promptly hooked two fish. The total for the day was 17 fish hooked and 13 to the boat of which we kept 2 brats each for the bbque. James and Keith really know their stuff and their bait is about as good as it gets. These guys rock!!!
