MoJoRisin' Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Killer pic with the boy and the steel! I'm sure that one was probably in the air coming off a rigger. I'll be out on Sunday - we need to get into them like you did as we have had minimal action so far - but it does sound like the salmon are finally here in decent numbers. Sounds like you had plenty of action for starting late......we need to get into them during low light mode as I've only had one on what I would consider "early" which we lost at the net.
Lundker Posted August 12, 2016 Author Posted August 12, 2016 Ya, that steelhead almost ripped my favorite downrigger rod out of my sons hands after a jump. I had to hold the rod for a moment, but we didn't tell mom about that. 2
SS Reaper Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 Nice job. I'm sure they won't forget that trip for a long time. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Great Lakes Fisherman Mobile App
