Rola 76,

It was so foggy I have no idea where we were :wink: :tongue:

Skein, Wish I could claim credit, my eggs, my sled, my trembling hand on the kicker, my superhuman boat handling while the fish backed us through 18" water....(Yeah Me!)

What I know about sled handling I learned from Rich. He's my Willie Predator mentor (his is 1 1/2' longer with a pretty paint job, but mine seems to catch lots o fish.

But he could catch 'em in a bucket.

He hooks more than me when he runs the boat too :depressed:

But, I'm catchin' up. I kick his b**t at lots of other stuff. I did school him last summer (8/11)with a spinner fishing page from the old playbook :wink: Besides, I can usually hold him down and choke him till he gives me the fish.

GRB :grin:

GRB,

I ask cause I fish the Cow a lot. Actually, I guess I'm just wondering which launch you used.

My fishin buddy Rich R from Vancouver last Saturday on the Cowlitz. He's an outstanding steelhead fisherman!

About 20 minute battle on a Loomis GLX "noodle rod" with 8 lb main line and 8 lb leader.

Hatchery buck, 14.6 lbs (digital scales).

Side drifted eggs all day. 2 for 3, one 12-13 lb native hen released.

My first photo post.

Thanks alot Big-N-Bright.
:cheers:

I believe that fish is what they call a "dandy"!

Wow, what a pretty, pretty fish. Musta been the guy on the oars settin' up a perfect drift. (Oops, I see you're in a sled.)

Thanks for sharing. Makes it tough to get back to work. :depressed:
