Called in sick and caught this today

Post by rh_916 » Fri Aug 23, 2013 2:47 pm

Took an sick day off from my part time job today since i dont really have any time to fish anymore on the weekdays and hooked up to this nice 14lb salmon. My first one for this year on the sacramento river.



Custon phenix trifecta 8'6" split grip salmon rod that i built for myself
My workhorse zillion 50th with boca abec 7 and carbontex drag. This reel can straight up cast 1 oz spinners far.

Did you show it to your employer too? I'm sure he will be impressed, although he may want a steak or two from that :)
