Mine is a 13lb. coho at Ft Casey. Been fishing the bobber and herring since early in the morning. It had been a pretty good day with maybe 8-10 fish caught and released. Took a short break to relax and went back to fishing. I was just standing there mesmerized by the water and the clear blue sky. My bobber had floated in toward shore and I was freespooling and then thumbing to spin the herring. The current was flowing to my left and my bobber was about 20ft. below me about 5ft. off the beach directly in front of a fishing buddie. So as I'm intently studying Pt. Townsend in the distance I feel line being pulled from under my thumb, as I pull back on the rod and turn towards my bobber there is the fishing buddy, eyes as big as saucers turning toward me yelling "FISH". That coho took the herring 5ft. in front of him. That fish was a little pissed off.
