What they lack at the dinner table they more than make up for with their fighting style.

After a few hundred fish to the boat two years ago during the last major humpy run, fishing out of Sekiu, we could call the humpies before we saw them.

Silvers would rip and jump, sometimes moving ahead of the path of the boat while we still trolling at 2.5 mph, trying for doubles and triples.

Kings would headshake, rip line, and flat line on the surface. Sometimes they would sound after coming to the surface.

Humpies hit hard, sometimes made a run, but they almost always tried to stay as deep as they could, fighting for every foot of water between the boat and thenselves.

Great smokers, but the little *******s love to shed those tiny scales.

Nice fish!
