Hit the Green River in Auburn today to fish for Chum with my buddy Robb. Honestly, the fishing was a little slow, but man did it turn out to be a great day on the river! We each hooked up several times. I ended up going 3/3. Chum are always fun because they are unpredictable and pound for pound they are strong fighters.

My third fish turned out to be a Monster. This guy was hot and full of attitude from the start. Peeled about 50 yards of line in his first run. I followed him down river a bit to make sure he didn't spool me. Made a half dozen more runs. Every time I gained some ground on him he'd peel of another 15-20 yards!

It turned into an epic 15-20 minute battle. The guys around me thought the fish was foul hooked and were implying I should break it off. I really wasn't sure myself, but decided that either way to try to get beast to shore and unhook it. Finally when I was about ready to give up he came in. Had him hooked right in the corner of his mouth. He was just a monster!!!

Biggest Chum I have ever seen. Guessing 25+ lbs! Released safe and sound to swim up river and make Chummy babies.

Hegonefishin - The fish are higher up in the system. Try Hwy 18 or above. There are tons of spots from there up to Flaming Geyser Park. Look for where you see other cars pulled out and go explore. You will find them. Most the successful fishermen I've seen are floating prawn tipped jigs. I prefer to drift fish and have caught all my Chum bouncing corkies and yarn. Good luck out there!!

Tele, thanks for the tip. Was out of town so I didn't get to respond sooner.
