No disrespect SK, but I would have to agree with OPfisher and others.... nice teener, but that smoker ain't no 20. I've laid eyes (and hands!) on plenty of big silvers over the past 32 years. They need some serious shoulders and a big a$$ wrist to hit the 20 mark. Having just brought my first one over the gunnel this fall, I feel qualified to make that assertion with confidence. You're young, keep at it... I'm sure you will eventually prevail. When you finally do land that 20-plus monster, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Crikey Sol, did you scrape that nasty green looking boot off of the spawning beds, or what? Did you have to fight off the eagles for that beauty? I see you scraped the fungus off for the photo. Green. The fish is green. Now, I have seen it all....

Poor lighting. As dark as it was, it cut redder than the chrome hens. How did you and Squatch do on the Lewis yesterday?

Sol,
I'm in. I'll drop you a line, and we'll hook something up.

The lack of fresh sea chickens killed us. Plan B had us pickin up 4 nice nooks up on Kwikies and 1 coho for the clients. After the trip was over, we went back out and whacked 2 nice cohos to end the evening (on eggs). My gallon jar of eggs are curing up quite nicely, thank you! There is a ton of not-really-wanting-to-bite B Run cohos in the NFL and a very few nooks. I do mean a ton of cohos. Unreal how many cohos were in the Swirl.
