Title: 29.13 oz king out of the Puyallup
Post by: TheHunt on August 16, 2011, 10:21:53 PM: Just got in from fishing. I will post a picture of the fish later. I did not believe they had that big of a king in the Puyallup. The skeins were as long my hand to my elbow.

Post by: TheHunt on August 17, 2011, 10:29:58 AM: I was up from the soccer fields some ways. I heard there was a monster across the soccer fields. This morning there was a 20 lb king taken out of the same hole I pulled mine out of.

The pinks are all over that river. They are in great shape and there are 1000's of fish in the river.

The colors if I was going would be a #14 green corky or one bugger. Then some pink/darker pink colored yarn. I add egg scent to the yarn in the gel. 4 to 5 feet of leader...

My son and I have been knocking the crap out of the fish. I personally banked 8 fish in 1 1/2 hours this morning. Go fishing people...
