Thanks to @pescador For the reports earlier. Got the wife out with me this afternoon. Couldn't convince the kids. Lines down around 5 pm to 730pm.
Anchovy one side and herring the other. 60/69. Started with hatchery coho on the chovy. Then the herring picked up a 20 that the wife brought in. Released a smaller coho and a jack Chinook.
The another Chinook hits the anchovy. I hand it to the wife and as I'm handing the rod the herring gets smoked. Two Chinook on and each went the opposite direction. I grabbed the net and tried netting the wife's on the opposite side of the boat cause mine had been pulling the other waym then all of a sudden I glanced over my shoulder. My rod was being pulled under the boat. I ran back and pulled him out from under the boat but then it dove right into the Canon ball.... I watched it wrap up doing death rolls and then just snapped off. Then hurried back to the wife's side to net hers. 1 for 2 on the double up.
Trolled a bit more before another herring hook up. Got it near the boat but my wife was trying to get cellphone video moreso than net. So all of a sudden the fish went on another run... or so I thought. Then the run just kept going. Then I realized I was onto something bigger. Then I saw it a couple hundred yards away. SEALION. Quite a long tug of war.... but I lost.
That was it though. Great evening lots of action. A couple tiny shakers.
Plenty of fish out there! Go get em.
