King below Coho?????????????????????
From my (limited - I say again LIMITED 8-[ ) experience - yes. The kings I have hooked up on in the rivers have been a lot like chum in the sense that they just kind of hug the bottom and go where they want until they tire - the trick is just keeping up with them and trying to turn them when necessary. Where Coho get pissed and are all over the place - I like that unpredictability when fighting a fish - more exciting to me.
Now with that said - I've caught way more Coho than Kings and would love to hook into a few more and have my mind changed [thumbsup]
