I'll never forget the first big king I hooked. I had had a bunch of snags, thought I had another one, pointed my rod at it to snap it off started to pull and it took off upstream at 25mph. Another guy caught that one with my fly still in it's jaw in the next pool it was 30 pounds.
I usually fish there with a friend of mine who has fished the same hole for the last twenty years, he knows all the guys who fish that area and they don't put up with people who don't want to have fun fishing. He is probably in the river right now.
