I landed about an 8 pound buck on the Snoqualmie today that didn't fight at all. When my float went down and I set the hook, I could tell I had a fish on but figured it was a little trout or smolt or something. In just a few seconds I had the fish where I could see it and was shocked to see that it was a decent sized fish. Once I had him to where I was pulling him up on to the bank, he made couple really short little runs away from the shore but no more than about 10 feet or so. I bet I had him on the bank in 15 - 20 seconds or so.
