I thought this would spice up everyone’s day: Here is our very own Sal Monid a coupla springer seasons ago up north with a 63lb Springer.
….words from the angler….“Just a bit of history. This fish was caught off the mid coast of BC. Two of us were fishing with downriggers and in making a turn, the port rod dragged a bit of bottom and went down.
We both had caught a fair number of fish and I told my pal to take the fish. He said “no, you take it.” The rod is dancing around and he picks it up, sets the hook and hands me the rod. Well the rest is history.
He ends up video taping me hauling in this pig. There was so much profanity on the tape (we were a bit excited once we saw the size of this thing) that it can only be played for select groups of former sailors or happy fisherman.
Anyway, it turned out to be a white meated chinook. Two weeks after landing this one, my friends neighbor landed a 65 pounder while fishing by himself. So, that’s the whole story and I am sticking to it.
