Headed out to Westport Saturday night and fished it Sunday in my buddy Marty's boat (spinnerround on the board).

We had a couple of firsts that day. Matt (slick50) hit his first ever Chinook. He got a good one! Fish weighed 27 on a scale when we got back home bled and gutted.

Marty got into the action with this nice fish. That was it for keeper kings but a killer pair!

Here is where things got a little weird. We were trolling in 220 feet of water out in front of Ocean Shores. Matt's rod goes off and he starts fighting a fish. Then he gets broken off....flasher and all.

Right after the break off the downrigger next to me starts to make a racket. I take a look and the cable is screaming off the rigger. Then the wire goes straight away from the boat. A 12lb ball perpendicular from the boat! Then the ball goes forward and around the boat and under. We all look at each other and have that WTF look on our faces. Then 10 yards behind the boat a 10-12 foot shark surfaces and smacks the water with his tail sending up a big ole wall of water while he rolled. All 4 of us saw it. Then the cable broke and that was the end of the action.

One of the stranger things I've ever encountered.
