I figured the Puyallup was still a little too high from the rain so I went to clear lake. I missed one fish on a gold/orange spoon in about 25ft. Only other hit was on a Berlkey perch color soft plastic on a 1/8th oz. jig head. Luckily I caught her. As soon as I set the hook I knew she had some weight to her. She turned my boat around staying down at bottom then came straight for a backflip. My digital scale put her at 5lb. 1oz. My personal best! A nice genleman who was fishin for kokes near by was kind enough to take a pic for me. A good way to end the year since it closes end of the month. I'll probably be back on the river when the water drops a little more.
