That's a beauty of a tale and a damn fine fish!  Way to put the $$$ boys to shame.

Was planning on taking a friend out on Commencement Bay / Dash Point to target pinks this Sat and he was asking about going out off Chambers Creek.   I told him I didn't think much was getting caught in the area.   You have me reconsidering.  Great fish and story.   
I used to think that Bigfoot might exist. Then I saw the reality shows where they are looking for them.  Now I am certain they don't

Love the story!  I was there in my Outback and hooked up with one, fought him and lost due to rookie mistake.  I relived that exact feeling through your story.  What a blast!  Good luck with many more to come :D
