Okay..it was probably more like 16#...I always underguess..

Modified slab jig. I use prism tapes on trigger baits. The prism tapes throw every color of the rainbow, and if a fish might be trigger by a certain color; there is a good chance of getting them to react to a blue or pink or green or yellow...not to mention; many baits are colored, but fish scales are often prismatic..

No matter that is a nice lake trout. Pretty rare for us to get any trout of that size. Are those stocked or wild Coho? Around here Coho will get to be the second largest of the salmon species. Most will run 7-10 pound. My largest ever was 17 1/2 and have not been close since that fish. My buddy was commercial fishing last fall and got into huge Coho. Some were running 24-25 pounds. I did not even know they got that big.

Think all the salmon are stocked with limited reproduction happening.

Nice fish all round. Always good to see people getting amongst a few! :D

Me? I've had a few issues that have kept me off the water this year, so far - apart from my disastrous Gulf trip in April.

Like Glossie, 5 yrs post splash I have some maintenance tasks with the boat/trailer which have been complicated by covid, and I'm still waiting on a new Minn Kota to replace the one that I destroyed in April.

All is not lost - in 111 days I will be back in the Gulf for a week's barra fishing with my younger son and my Brother, covid willing! :D

I've posted this before but I know you like fishing porn - so here you go! :D (Bad language warning! 8O )

I have said it before but it sure is easy to see why you love fishing for those :D

Fallguy if those Coho are stocked it is not surprising they do not get very big. We have stocked Coho is some local lakes and they get to around one pound and not much more.

Caught two fish in 13 miles but 4 hours on the Yellowstone River just north of Gardiner Montana with your wife and a good friend is a beautiful thing.

Went to Seward today to give the silvers another try. The silver fishing was pretty slow and we had to wade through a pile of pinks to catch a silver. After releasing a pink and while it was still recovering we got to watch an eagle swoop down and snap the four pound fish right out the water. He landed close by to dine and it did not take him long to eat the whole thing.
When we got back to Seward the whole town was in a party mode as one of the local girls won a swimming gold metal. First swimming gold for anyone from Alaska.
