4 lb test on an ultra light spinning rod and 4"senko.
I can't believe I landed this one. He wrapped me around a dock piling and I was sure he'd break off. Once I got him headed the other direction, I was able to "drag" him slowly away from the dock and after three or four runs (had my drag set pretty light to keep the line from breaking) I got him tired out and slipped a hand under his belly and hoisted him into the yak. The blood in the picture is not his...I slayed a limit of Kokanee before hitting the docks and had blood all over the boat and in the HAWG Trough. I got him back in the water right after our photo shoot and he recovered just fine...I bet he'll be more careful around kayaks in the future! 

Nice fish! Love the use of light tackle - way more fun than just cranking them in as fast as you can. That's a great fish on that setup!
