Awesome report saw the new ride in the slip this morning beautiful boat way to get after them.

Good day out for sure! Keep the reports coming

Just watched the video. That kid did a great job fighting that king.  It’s hard to hold back the excitement when a king hits and have the patience to take your time tiring it out on light line. ….ask me how I know🙄

Capt Rich— great video of the young man doing a great job handling that salmon.  Just curious what rod/reel/line combo?  It sure looked like it was a medium rod and it was all it could do to handle the big salmon.

The rod is a 9' ML action rod that Fat Nancy's sells made by Riverside (I think). Reel is a Daiwa Saltist 20 loaded with 10lb test McCoy Mean Green and a 10lb McCoy fluorocarbon leader. Fighting a Salmon on that rod is asking a lot, especially with customers. Toss in the smallish trebles found on most stickbaits and landing Salmon is a chore!

Capt Rich…many thanks.  That video should be in your HOF library😎😎😎.

Capt Rich:  you said you went west from the Genesee.  How far west did you go?  To Braddock Bay?  West of Braddock Bay?

Where was that salmon caught?  Like others have said:  great video!!   Thanks for sharing!! - Mr Kato
