Holland Am, 9-8-22

Solo 2 for 4, 14.4oz king and a sheep head (a gift whenever I fish shallow) that was close to 14lbs also.
 
King 14.4oz, (7:09am) on an 8C with a happee meal mag spoon. sog 2.4, S direct, 54 fow, temp at depth 43.9
 
Lost two others in 135fow, one hit my Port DR with a jordo std spoon and ran for several minutes and when I tried to tenderly crank him in the line snapped and I lost him. He was of very good size!

At the cleaning station a boat came in with (15-20 Kings) but most were small.
Lake was calm

Thanks for sharing your report and glad you bagged one nice king for the effort.  I sure looked nice out there today but I had other stuff to attend to.  Taking a friend and his daughter out Saturday night and hope we can get a fish on for each. 

 

BTW - I know exactly that feeling after a king goes on a big run and can't be budged . . . are my knots good . . . did the line get nicked during the strike . . . how much pressure should I put on the drag . . . crap, the line is dead.  Thanks for reminding me how painful that is.

Looks like a coho to me, and if so it's an absolute monster.  Master angler is 12# on those...

Added picture to main post. Camera tends to lighten pictures misleading ID.

Dark gums, spots top and bottom of tail more prevalent in the extra picture. I would have been happy either way.

Great job on your 5/5 catch the other night!
