Don't know who this is, but it was taken at the top of the big island.

Cal Tip?
I keep the number in my cell phone and have called in a couple of times. They have been good about getting back to me to try and correct the problems.

I had the misfortune of hooking a salmon while fishing for steelhead on the Feather River last fall. I was targeting steelhead at the riffle by the cement plant.
Once I hooked it I had to land it. I tried to break it off, but 12# Maxima (for the big steelhead I'd hoped to hook) and the spey hooks by design don't give up easily.
I got a nasty note from another fisherman who saw this and accused me of breaking the law and targeting salmon.
Besides just not fishing when there are salmon in the river, how do you keep from hooking them while steelheading? Thanks.

What you wrote is what makes me upset about people jumping to conclusions. Imagine if someone called Cal Tip and an officer came out and gave you a hard time and possibly arrested you for something that you did not do on purpose. You would have to prove that what you did was correct and not wrong, just like the guy in the picture above. I hope I never hook into a salmon, because I would hate to get put down by people on a board for something I did not try to do.
So long and thanks for all the fish!!!

You last three were reading my mind. That could be just one frame of an innocent incident.

Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.
I'd have to agree. Who knows if he accidentally caught him and couldn't break it off.
Although, I sometimes wonder why people bring a fish up in what looks like a few inches of water instead of landing them somewhere better. I hate seeing what is supposed to be a released fish bouncing around on the rocks or a few inches of water.
But again, I don't know what took place before this to cause the fish to be there. Wasn't there to witness it. Maybe the fish ran itself aground in the shallow riffles.
