Weekend is now over[
] and what a beatiful weekend it was[
] Went up to the Big Mansitee and had a great time[]
Five of us camped out right along the river and partied it up. we hooked up about 75 to 100 fish. We got one nice 9lb. steelhead, one 12lb coho. one 3 lb brown trout. and 9 kings.
One of the best times up ever. hated to leave but the clouds were rolling in and rain was called for all day monday so we headed out late sunday night. almost landed one by hand. was going around a tree that was down in the water and this fishing line started to get wraped up in the feet and when I was rolling it up just to get it out of the water. I felt a quick tug and guess what there was a big oh king on the other end. I tried to pull it in by hand but when you got a whole big ball of line wraped up in the hand there is no drag and with one quick run it tighten around my hand and snap.[] OUCH did that hurt[]
Can't wait to go up again.
