One of my bigger springers on the Kalama was taken on a jig, fishing for summer-runs. Memorial Day weekend several years ago, floated from Pritchards to Modrow fishing springers in the mornings. So-so fishing, likely because of the crowds, so we stopped below the hatchery, got out, and hit it hard for summers, a good number were piled into a pool. Everybody going small and light for these fish when this 22lb springer hits my size 2 black jig, with 8lb test, on a light action steelhead rod. Fish could have left the hole any time it wanted, but didn't. Managed to land it after about a half hour fight.

Has never happened since, but I always load up with more gear than I can possibly use in any one trip!
