CATCH OF THE MONTH
I caught this whopper in Hoodsport Bay
WA, using a 18'' leader with a floaty.  I
had just tuned my
Penn reel and Ugly
Stick combo the day prior in hopes of
catching a monster.  The day started
off rainy and the temperature sat at
about 44 degrees.  Other anglers
hadn't been fairing well that day, but I
felt that all that was about to change.  I
felt that all that was about to change.  I
cast out several times until I felt a huge
strike.  He challenged me plenty as I
slipped and fell into the water but
struggled to my feet and continued to
chase him down the bank.  Seven in a
half minutes later, I had him bagged.  
What you see before you is the
epitome of the never give up attitude.
