Picked up this fish out of a school of fatties. Usually when a big school of coho swims by its my thrilling habit to hook the one dark chum running with the group. Not this time. I think its the lucky piece of indian net I use for a stringer.
Just under 18 pounds. Still gunning for 20 before the end of the season. Like a dope I pulled the hook out of another fishes mouth by lifting his head out of the water just 10 minutes before I hooked this guy. Not a bad consolation prize.
The picture doesn't do the fish justice. Maybe if I hold it out to the camera next time it'll look like its big.
