Just because it's late.......

I'll reassert my earlier post. This fall, within 20 minutes, I landed 42# and 38# kings. Off the bank, in a small, but rippin' little river.

I was pumped up big time...and sliding fish bigger than my leg in length, and as big as my body in girth, was pretty damn cool.

Keep in mind, I'm 6'3" and weigh 195 pounds.

We're talkin' BIG fish.

They still didn't even come close to the over 20# steelhead I've caught...and I've never landed one over 25#.

Oh, and as noted earlier, I have landed two kings over 50#...

Twenty-five pound steelies...WOW...but I guess I've caught enough steelies, and enough big ones, even if I haven't caught a 25#, that I have my goals set on a 30#.

It'll happen...I fish the right waters, and I fish the right way. Granted, my "right waters" don't include Kamchatka, or the Skeena system, by they're where I fish, even if they're not in big numbers.

The dream of catching that 30 pounder keeps me doing it, spring after spring, from the Sauk and Skagit to the Hoh and Sol Duc.

I'll get it some day.

After that? Get another...

Maybe it's just me...but I really can't even put a 20+, or 30+, chinook in the same class as a 10 or 12 + steelhead, much less a 20 pounder, or bigger.

Fish on...
