its a long story, but... last year we were plunking on the quinalt river when a huge steelhead picked up my bait and took off for the ocean. it ripped the pole out of the pole holder and it looked like a submarine going through the water. i started to run after my pole, and when i got to the edge of the river i slipped and fell face first into the drink, becoming fully submerged . just as all of this was happening, inky ran up and said he's safe!!!!!! and crossed his arms like a baseball umpire. just as i grabbed my pole i looked up to see a monster steelhead roll on the surface and spit the hook. since then, whenever i go plunking with inky he makes me wear a skateboard and usually a mask and snorkel as well. no use going fishing if you can't enjoy yourself.
