This same conversation took place last year...and I participated in catching a bunch of four pounders in the local salt, too...but come October/November the coho we were catching in the local rivers were just as big as they ever were, and they didn't teleport there, they had to swim right past everyone fishing out there.

I have no idea why the catch rates are really good but the fish are mostly small...but I know this for sure: It's not because 8-15 pounders don't exist anymore, we'll be catching them in the rivers later this month.

Fish on...
