So started fishing about 6:30 am everybody was getting them left and right got my spot and started casting,5th cast. BAM! This fish took my line downstream after 5 minutes of fighting i luckly got it to the bank but it wouldnt jump yet, finally it came my way and it was time to net it, but suddenly it pulled so hard it bent the hook aww i bet that was a king lol.At 7:20 am fish on brought it in and BONK Nice 6 lb buck,another 5 minutes first cast after i kept the buck got this one in also he put a nice fight 8 lb hen Also bonked her got like 15 fish hooked on they snapped my line or got loose from all the jumping. but all day i got my limit released some but this was the funniest thing so At 7:46 Pm fish on this one seemed huge so after like 6 mins of a huge fight i saw my whole set up i was wondering were is the fish i looked everywhere they i saw that i was hooked to a swivel with a leader looks like the fish got hooked once already and i got snagged to the swivel got him in nice 8 or 9 lb buck also kept him so i kept 4 fish My limit hooked about 10 fish in all when i said i hooked 15 fish that was the first part because we left around 12 am because all the heat then came back around 7 pm and both parts i hooked like 25 fish it was awesome.I used pink corky and yarn with 3/4 lead and a 5 foot leader with some shrimp smelly jelly.couldnt add photo's beccause my adobe flashplayer is being alkl stupid lol it just wont work but next time i take pictures with my phone wg\hich i can upload pics

A word or warning once you have kept the adult portion of your daily limit you are no longer allowed to fish the rest of the day. So if you fish in the morning and keep your 4 fish (puyallup limit) you cannot come back later in the day and fish or continue to fish in the morning. Just keep 3 (if your on the puke) and dont keep your fourth till you are done for the day (for good).

Right on. The way your report read it looked like you kept fishing. Its one of the rules most people dont know about its kinda hidden in the rule book.
