Little Salmon River Challenge (Team Irish Knots / Traxstech)

[Irish Knots]

Started 4 miles out of port

only had 6 rods in the water by 5:30 - 3 fire with triples!!!

landed 2 of 3 one of which was the Kids division winner +/- 27lbs on the boat officially 25.88lbs

(first king for 14yr old Leigh) front left in picture

the other my wife handled like a true champ 19lbs(Die Hard-Stingray for the big boy, Green e-chip green fly for the other)

as for pre-fish friday - they left that spot by 7am we went west towards the plant and picked away landing three others over 16lbs -

NBK and Die Hards for us - on 6 of 8 rods we finished 7 for 8 with a couple other hard rips with no one home

90 to 130 down worked anytime we hit cold water a rod fired

could only weigh 5 as one steelie was about 1/2-inch too short and our last rod fired as we picked up to run

with a king 1-inch too short

overall the kids had a blast- which made our time much more fun as well!!!

Thanks to Traxstech for top quality products and for being such great people to work with

Any other pics of the 27lber? Not totally convinced that's a king... if it's a coho it's a brute!
