Haha yea, well like you said, alot of kings fight like that, bulldog in the bottom for a lonnng time till their tires. But ive caught tons, and you will get the kings, i would say one out of every 5 that jump so high and splash so loud that people 2 miles up river know you got a fish on. Not all of um, but quite a few. A 10lb coho jumping 5 times in a row is awesome. A 30lb king doing the same thing, UNREAL. And coho lack the ability to burn your thumb on a 200 foot long run also, something the big 25+ pound kings will usually do once or twice. But your right, nothing matches the coho's ability to roll and jump faster than the eye can see!

Why only a few months? Summer runs are right around the corner [thumbup]
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker
