Dont ever give up, you never know when that bite is going to happen. This brute came in the bottom of the 9th inning with a full count. Hooked it going through a rapid behind a bunch of boats, and the scrap was epic. The fish screamed up the river jumped about 4 times, the fish was running us in circles and we got the net swoop in going backwards down a rapid. Damn I love my job...

The fishing has been ruff for most rivers due to high water but if you go find some green water you will find some fish. We have been getting a couple of fish per boat and send some happy customers home with memories that will last a lifetime.
