You really gotta watch that Drifter dude. He cheats a bit on those big kings - by catching them in all of my old haunts!
No one really has to worry about him with that 25 lb. steely - he had a black candle burned on him at some point and cant even land a nate, let alone a 25 pounder.

I am in the 60/30 club - released the 30 on a Puget Sound crick - and bonked the king off of Coronation Island in S.E. AK.

Each of them have their own virtues. There aint nuthin like mooching up a big old king, especially when the weather is nice, and you are shaking 30's trying to get a big one. - except maybe setting the hook on a chromer of any size!
