Never Salmon Fished

[redbeard1]

All I can say is you must have lucked out and caught some half dead Salmon.I have caught salmon smaller than that on the main, and I had 20lb test, drag was set as tight as it goes, and I had to put my thumb down on the line to try to stop him before I got spooled, and it just burnt the damned skin off my thumb, so I disagree w/ the pull em in on a rope statement, its nothing for one them to take complete control, and if you are there in the crowd, you better be ready to horse one in, or fight w/ the hundreds on the bank. I would love to catch them on lighter gear, but I just can't see it happening, not from my experiences.[fishin]
