Maybe that's unfair
because I was using 3x leader, as opposed to 5x/6x on the SJ,
but well, I wasn't impressed.

I caught some pinks, fresh from the ocean, while in Alaska, and I
wasn't impressed either. Small fish, less than 24 inches, and they
didn't fight as much as, say, a silver of the same size.

I caught an eight pound pink on the Skagit, fishing with Warren and Chas
and Andy. It was one of the hardest-to-land freshwater fish I've ever
experienced. I foul hooked it in the hump and it got sideways in a heavy
current. :-)
