Yeah we actually tied into and released three Chinook on the opener. 10, 12 and a 20+. the 20 hit a plug on a 2500 size spinning reel and almost spooled us in a matter of seconds. I have seen some 30-40lb gator nook surface in years past, but never hooked one that size. That would be fun.

Fished today in various spots from Thomas Eddy to below Snohomish. No takers, but there was a decent size push of coho hanging out around high rock. Still early, gonna give it a rest for a week or two.
