My bassin' buddy went solo on GP today; to scout things out. He got a beast of a Chinokanee half way into his net. Then the sucker broke the O-ring OFF of his plug! He estimated a 15-20 pound fish! Bummer that I wasn't there to get a pic, or help with the net.
Ever since watching a video of a fellow OFFer, several years ago, net a 10 pounder...I knew that there had to be bigger ones. And I saw some mighty large ones looking up at me, from a Quartzville Creek bridge back in the 80's. It was pre-dawn and I was shining a flashlight into the stream, to see if it had been stocked with trout.
And, apparently, ODFW only recently figured this out. LOL
