I'm talking river coho from a BOAT here, not nursing mealy-mouthed humpies, dogging bull dog chum, coaxing sulking kings or running down riffle-running jehosaphat-jumping steelhead from shore. The only moves coho are making that I'm concerned about from the boat are them getting into cover and doing their death twirl at the net. Other than that, no quarter and nothing a good "billy bass" hookset on 15-20# test leader, butt muscle and a good drag won't fix. Milking coho creates more opportunity for them to get off than forgiving rods ever will.
