I fished this morning solo on the waterfront. Lots of boats out and good to see people catching fish. I had three hits total. 2 fish to the boat. I kept the mid/upper teen hatch spring and released about an 8 pounder. The teen was caught on a large herring left over from Hali fishing in a teaser head behind a chrome nootka flasher on the peetz. 8# was on an anchovy and then lost one on a tomack #2. Good Sunday morning fun!
I can't say I've ever caught a spring quite as football like as this one so I put the head in the box and hopefully it has a tag.
Would be interested to hear how the other 50 boats did!! I'll take any tips on the hook setup for big bait like this! I'd say my stinger is too far back and too big. But it worked...

Interestingly enough...it was a 2010 brood year. Must have been a good eater for a mid-upper teen at 3 years old.
