it took me about 30 seconds to hook my first king of the season and about 1 to have my leader part. I have no idea what happened there but if someone gets a king with a beat up coyote in its mouth let me know. Lost another one close to the boat, 20+ lbs for sure. And had another fish peeling line but couldnt keep it pinned.
My bottom fishing skills were spectacular... flounder, rock fish, true cod and ling cod all were willing biters.
