King Slammin

No autopilot yet. Have to rely on my son and grandad to keep her straight. I booked a trip to Chicago for my wife and I to celebrate her 30th birthday. Bears game @soldier field, sight seeing, and great food/ beer. That'll soak up a few thousand right there.

When it was in winter storage I had it up for sale hoping to get a 19-20 aluminum to replace it. As soon as I took her out I realized I can't sell. I have her set up almost perfectly now and will never get as much boat for the money. Thanks for the compliment

For me a 30 lb silver king would be a mounter. I've caught many over 30 and 1 over 40 in 18 mile creek but since I've been back at the lake fishing the Tyee has escaped me. Browns 15 lbs Steelhead 14 lbs Laker 24 lbs Coho 12 lbs Atlantic any as they are a beautiful fish.

I did one 23# king and lost a very nice brown at the back of the boat in 75 FOW. In a way I'm glad that brown shook off because I'm not in either derby and it looked pretty stocky.

Mag on a 3 out 240 hits bottom at 95' going 2.3 on my fish hawk. This is allowing 5' for the roll of my meat rig as we were actually in 100 FOW. I have done the same however with 220' out. I guess it depends on the currents at the time.

Leave those rods in. This is where extra holders come in handy. I move my rigger rods to the furthest holder out on each corner to open the back up for netting. I only run two riggers though. U should be able to move your center rigger rod over to a holder on either corner to open the back up for netting. With that said, there are some crazy fights that will tangle you up but that's just part of fishing. I just think u might be missing out multiple hook ups by pulling rods every time. When the fish are biting good, I actually go to a 4 rod spread. This allows me to turn quicker without the worry of tangling lines and get back on the fish.
