2011 Coos River Coho

Never posted this up i guess. Yaksurfs first 2011 Coho. With a ten foot leader for some reason!

I retied my leader to my lure while on my kayak.  I'd been having a hard time catching a coho and had been told to go with a longer leader.  I was shooting for a 4'-5' leader I just tied way to long.  So when I reeled the coho up to my yak.  I quickly realized that it was going to be almost impossible to net and because I was using a large treble hook with 35' test leader that was set real good I just yarded it in real quick (I got lucky).

Maybe longer was the secret weapon that day.
