First daughter reeled that in like a champ for sure.
Yeah i think theyre scared to get whacked. All of them just let go of the reel. Ive tried to explain it. But you know how it is when hooked up to a fish not exactly the easiest time to learn. Especially when I'm directing traffic.... reel reel reel, let em go let em go! Reel reel. Keep the tip up. They did an unreal job. They landed every single chinook they were attatched to that trip. I have a bigger loss percentage then them. The wifey has lost a few over the years... vit getting better. I was really impressed with the oldest. With the coho she was even getting the rod out of the holder and off the clip. Impressed me. They'll get the palming thing maybe our next trip this month if we get some decent action.
