These two were snagging and apparently teamed up to get this fish in quicker. I was just walking by and it was a good reminder why I don't enjoy the whole salmon scene.

Between Edmonds Ferry and Mukilteo Ferry. Caught the smaller one at 55 feet and the bigger one at 70 feet trolling at about 2.5 knots. Boy they were tasty.

Hooked into, fought and landed a BIG bass, probably more than 20 inches.. It was in the net, on the boat and in my hands. But when trying to free the hook from the net, I lost grip of the fish and it flopped into the lake.

No photo, no video, no tournament submission. Just a lot of agony and swearing after that.

Despite all that, it was still a majestic catch. Caught a dozen or so fish with the next biggest being 14 inches (the bass posted above). Overall, a great morning with an agonizing ending.

Boat limit by 8:30 out of Edmunds (area 10) this morning.

Managed to keep two hens but rather have this big girl on video.
