I was fishing for salmon out of Shilshol and trolling along with a deep six and a spoon when I snagged something big! Picked up the rod to try and release the diver with the usual quick jerk and 'snap'!

I found out later that I had hooked onto the mooring platform or lines that the barge uses out there. What a bummer!!!!! It was my first salmon rod and I had bought it 15 years ago.

Gave me a good excuse to buy another though and better quality.
