Sellwood Early Bird Special

I got my first ever hatchery nook this morning after quite a few tries. It looks exactly like every other hatchery springer I've seen this year but sure tasted good on the grill tonight. I got up really early for this fish.   Trolled a brined and blued herring with no flasher and hooked this in 25 ft near bottom.

That's awesome!! Congrats!! That's a good looking Springer

Nice job! Congrats!

Hey there!! Congrats on the fish!! I saw you this afternoon I was just getting started when you were finishing up, I have the yellow OK Prowler Big Game. If your in the area again let me know, I live about 5 mins from the riverfront park in Sellwood! Hope to pick up a springer this week as well!!! Congrats again!!!

Way to go!  Thanks for giving me a reminder of what they look like since I'm still looking for my first one.

Congrats.  From your second picture it looks like it is that time of the month again, springer time that is. 

Beautiful fish and love the bloody mess. Congrats!

congrats, love the blood on the boat...

And another yakker scores! Nice work!  Damn but those pics make me hungry....

Great job, makes me want to fish. Might make it tonight or tomorrow. Great pics, was the blood from the fish or PB operator that tried to wake you out of your kayak.
