Nice fish Milo :)  Too bad we didn't see the Abu reel that I'm sure was used in this capture ..

Milo, it doesn't really look 12.5 unless you have bear paws... which I understand you do  ;)  ;D

Nice bullet of Chinook you got there Milo!  We've seen a few nice springs out there for sure.

Sure, why not? I am quite proud of my vintage ABU reel collection.

If you look closely, the fish is angled in the pic, making it look shorter than it really was. It weighed 10.5 pounds fully gutted on my kitchen scale. And yes, I can be mistaken  for a bear when I wear all black.   ;D

Yes, there are a few. But my observation is that the big ones turn much more quickly than the smaller guys. I don't remember when I last pulled a bullet chrome tyee out of the Vedder. It's been many years now.
