Launched at Pt. Defiance at 5:15 to find about 50 boats already on the water. Started my troll west of the ferry towards the clay banks. Tons of bait fish so started with Brad's cutplug and then switched to hootchie but after no takers moved back to the Irish Cream coyote spoon. At 8am was moving my line up from 75 to 65 when it started bouncing and then pulled off the clop and started screaming line! fish on! Thank goodness I had the net extended and ready to grab off the top of my boat so when I got him up to the boat was able to slip him into the net on in the boat! 15 1/2 llbs with my new scale I bought at Sportco.
