American Kokanee 5/12

[Slammin8er]

Hit the water just before first light. Put out my usual flat line with 0/0 dodger and micro wedding ring and corn. Then just because I put a glow stick mini squid down about 60’. About 6:00 the flat line rod went off, while I was cranking on that one the down rigger rod popped off. I loosened the drag on the down rigger rod and landed the flat line 14.5” Kokanee. Then started on the down rigger rod that at first felt empty but a little heavy. Sure enough there was a 16” Kokanee on that one that went in the bucket. Three Cut-throat trout decided they liked the glow squid between 40’ and 60’ but that was it. Left about 9:00.
