I-Bay 6/20

[BreakingBass]

Went straight N out of I-Bay to the 150-250 range in the AM.  Marked some in the shallower areas but no action. Continued out to 300 and landed one smaller 12 lb king 72' down on a FF. That was at noon! Came in after warding off the skunk.

You sure that's a king?  hard to tell from the angle of the picture, but resembles an Atlantic or Coho at first glance.

6/19 maybe?

Nice fish!  (But I don't think it's a king either )

Coho

I stand corrected, I believe it was a coho after a closer look. Whiter color around the mouth and fewer spots on the tail. Good call.

A very healthy coho. How did he taste

Woody, he went back into the lake.  I just noticed this post had a date of 6/29 - I just corrected it to 6/20.  I wish I could fish into the future. 

 

The wrong date and misidentified fish are from that day having more screw-ups than I care to have.  Started with the downrigger cable popping off the spool and wrapping around the drive spindle, then once getting settled into trolling I realized my truck keys aren't on the boat and are probably sitting in the porta-potty at Mayer's, and then when I grabbed the net to land this fish I caught the wooden rod I use to grab the downrigger weight to bring it closer to the boat and flung the wooden rod out into the lake.  Go ahead and laugh, I know we all have those days.  Good thing it was Father's Day as my wife was happy to drive up to Mayer's and check the porta-potty.  Yes the keys were there and yes she deserved big thanks for even going in that thing.

BB - Don't worry, anyone who says they never had a bad day like that is a liar!  Best thing about those days is that the further they are in the past, the funnier they are.
