RiverMan Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 No I didn't catch this on a custom made bait, was actually using a kwikfish, size 15 made by Luhr Jenson. Out here in Oregon we don't have Musky, wish we did, instead we spend much time fishing for these guys....salmon. I caught this 18 pound spring chinook about 3 weeks ago, thought some of you would like to see the pic. We fish these things on anchor, the current in the river keeps the plug thumpin. Anyway, I had fallen asleep in the bottom of the boat and had the fishing rod propped up between my feet...woke up when the thing started taking line, lol.

D.J. Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Nice fish! I just realized you live in the same general area as I do.(I live in Enumclaw) Good to see some Pacific Northwesters on the board. How do I go about seeing some of your crankbaits. I just do plastics and rods, so I'm always looking for some nice hardbaits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi DJ, Trying to remember where Enumclaw is, near Seattle isn't it? I get over that way to fish for Chums on some years...near Olympia, not sure how far that is from you. Most recently I am building musky lures, probably not gonna want to toss those much where you are at. Why Musky? Well, I enjoy building big baits and musky fisherman seem to like em that way.....BIG.

SafetyChain Posted May 13, 2004 Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Jed, Nice fish! I thought I let one through down here. Aren't springers great! Hope you guys upriver have better luck than we did below Bonneville. I went 0'fers for about 6 trips. Did the willy and Columbia anchoring and trolling. Nada Still would like to talk to about that shrimp thingy you made. PM me. Gregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
