A couple years ago on the Toutle, I could hook Silvers at will, but couldn't keep them from busting me off...finally I ran my hand up my main line and found it frayed about 10 feet, cut that off and started landing them.
If you need a good fishing hat, you got to go with the Miami Dolphins hat...just good MOJO. I got 13 of them and they are all fishy!
