last year, fall, fishing the fraser from shore, hooked a big spring while fishing for pinks and coho, 25lb main and 15lb leader. we ran up and down the shore for 20min, could see him jumping 80 yrds away then 90yards then 100yards i ran out of shore line due to big rocks and a cliff. ended up turning him around gaind about 60 yards of line, he made one more run and some one casted over me tangled me up and well
i was pixxed! first spring ever and lost it because some people dont know the ethics on the river!
landed a 34lb and a 28lb redspring the next day
