Satsop River (Coho/Chum Salmon)

We wanted to catch coho but ended up catching a chum. We put in at the mouth of the Middle Satsop river where you initially cant fish and then floated down the river to take out at Hwy 12. Pulling plugs that were greens, blues, and pinks where ever we could. Coming into a whole we knew should produce we got excited. One of the lines went slack and we thought it was a snag. Once John caught up to it we realize we had a nice fish on our hands that was charging up the river fortunately with the hook still in its grasp. After a good fight on a rod that was a little underweight we landed this nice chum. As you can see from Jon's smile this made for a hell of a trip.
