I fished the lower Columbia this weekend with my buddy (I and member here) ScottCRB and his girlfriend. Two of my brothers were fishing in their own boats with their friends as well. We had our own hogline going for the weekend. Fishing was decent, between 3 boats we had over 20 takedowns. Our hookup ratio wasn't great though, only 3 fish bonked, 2 nates released. Lots of driveby's and too many longline releases! I managed to get a nice keeper in the midteen's on Sunday. After the brutal springer season this year I am exstatic to put one in the box! I've been blanked on 6 days prior to this weekend. Our action came in 25'-35' with wobblers, though we did have a couple hits on bait wrapped quikfish. A boat drifted by us fighting a fish for quite a ways down river, on their way back they hoisted up a mid to upper 30's clipped pig! It was a football shaped brute for sure! All in all fun weekend!
