Here are a couple I caught Sunday. A 14" male and 15" female. Both were caught on a flourecent red pro troll kokanee killer. Could of had a few more but I was having issues with line releases.

I like the scenery in the background. A beautiful lake with alot of trees. Looks like koke heaven to me. thumbsup
 
Congrats on the fish. How deep did you find them this time of year? Hope to givem a try in a few weeks
 
Sorry for my brief replies. No internet at my place. Have to go into town. All my fish were caught between 35 and 50 feet. Marked schools to 56 feet. all fish were caught on downriggers. I kept everything simple. No scents, no glows no dodgers no shoe peg corn. I am still having issues with my line releases. I am losing fish because they don,t always release. Here is a picture from thursday. The kokanee was 16 inches the perch 14. Harpoon they are all over the place.

I had no idea that perch got this big, but Here's a photo of my nephew with a monster of one we caught in L. Nant in 2008.
 
Couple of "Dixie Kokes"

Had a good day Monday. Lost a "dandy". Thought it was all played out. When I slipped the net toward the fish it took off like a rocket and was gone. Down to my last line release. They keep falling apart(Cannons). Had to fabricate one with my ball and chain"s eyebrow tweezer. Will post a picture and it actually works. Have to get back to Florida for awhile. Hoping to get back after Labor day. Sorry I missed you Harpoon. The two you see were caught on the national forest side not far from the boat ramp.
