Hello All, Just wanted to tell you about this morning, I went to my favorite small mouth bass spot on the willamette it's in canby behind the golf course. I tied my knock'em dead every time rig on and low and behold about my 3rd cast i hooked up. The biggest bass i have ever caught. What's funny is it looks just like a 7# steelehead. It was rather interesting fighting this fish with 6# line and an ultralight rod. I think when i go hunting springers i load for trout HAHAHA. :dance:

Expect the unexpected I guess is the thought fishing in a place that slime rockets live. Glad to see you caught something much better that a bass. Wait a minute I've never caught a bass you tell us is it better???????????Chris

Not uncommon at all to catch Springers on the Willamette with bass bugs, seen it done many times. First time I've seen or heard of a steelhead caught that way but it looks like it happens, good deal! :cheers:
This reminds me of a story related to me of an aquaintance who bought a guided smallmouth trip on the John Day years ago. He was irritated that the pesky steelhead kept smacking his bass stuff. All in all he caught 3 or 4 bass and 12 steelhead that day, dunno about the rest of you but I sure wouldn't complain!!! :shrug:

Great story,
You seem like the kind of fisherman who is blessed with a record of cool accidentals.
Wasn't it you that caught the salmon on the Gummii worm?
Too cool.
