Oswego 4/26 and 4/27

[CaptSpike]

It's all a fog right now. Two very good days fishing for us. No Voltage problems so that got solved. Took a while to move a rod but when we started it continued. Some decent browns lakers and a 28" Atlantic to make the day. Poor guy was super skinny and had a lamprey scar. Hook wounded jaw which also may have contributed to his thin profile. Still a nice Fish. Ended up coming in early as we lost power with the kicker. It ran fine but wouldn't push the boat. Back at the dock we pull the boat and find plastic wrapped around the prop. Decided to stay out and clean fish while the station was still open.

Next day started slow. Caught some smaller browns to start then after a while we started getting better sized fish. It wasn't nearly as well as it had been. Then it happened. A rod fired and Glenn was on the rod. I remember him saying it was another small fish. Then the drag started to peel. The fish jumped and immediately started to clear lines from the starboard side of the boat. Second jump we knew it was a steelie but had no idea of actually how big it was. After an epic battle we hope we got on the go pro I slid the net under a twenty pound steelhead. Fish was a touch over 36". 19,5# when weighed at the taxidermist. So we figured an easy 20# considering how long it was out of the water. Continued to catch a bunch more fish which included rainbows and as small king.

Gonna try to get out today.

Still processing, it might take a while. Also has some language not suitable for all.

View at your own risk or mute it if you like. The gopro's had the water proof housing so the sound is muffled anyway.
