Thanks for clarifying for me.

You're welcome. We need to get together and fish some time.

Just because they'll darken early doesn't mean I won't fish for 'em,
I've
heard that they'll take some line.

I had a 15 pounder at Hoodsport take 50 yards of my packing out to sea
and then jump several times way out there. The guy next to me looked
over and asked, "Is that your fish way out there?". Between the grunts
I said, "You betcha". That was my 10x10 with 15 pound leader and the
drag turned up tight. Kings don't fight any harder pound for pound.
Oh, and that fish was too dark to keep.
