UPPER RUSSIAN ACTION 02-02-07 (non yak)

Today (02-02-07) Darin (Sean's Neighbor),  Mahi Mahi and I set of for a 3 1/2 mile river extravaganza.  We met Mahi around 7:30 at the upper fork of the Russian.  We saw 2 other bank fisher-dudes.  One guy hooked and landed a nice hatchery hen (spent and headed down).  Not much further down, Darin had a fish on.  He landed a nice spent hatchery (very clean).  She was released for another day.  It wasn't long before Darin was Fish on AGAIN....  He landed another nice hen NATIVE.....  Maybe a half hour later   GUESS WHAT..... Darin  FISH ON!!!( YES it was getting old!!!!)  This one was a beast and she was very clean....BUT!!!!! about five feet from my grasp, she did a head wiggle and waved bye bye to Darin

DARN?

Maybe 15 min. later the fish god chose me this time and I hooked a Buck (hatchery),  He was 7 1/2 lbs.  and YES he felt the thud of my fish bat...  He is in the Indian Candy secret sauce as I type....  We caught a bunch of little planter steelies (aka bait theifs).  ALL IN ALL A NICE DAY...

Mahi (could you please post the pics you took)

My thoughts exactly! I need chrome! I need to make a trip to the lower Russian so I can battle with the seals.

I notice Dan did not give me the invite...you must complete your training and be schooled in the ways of losing the biggest fish of the day oh young master.  Do not be bitter the stealhead gods will smile on you soon.  D
