Was out today with my lady. She's over 7 months pregnant and it was really cool to see her jumping up to grab a pumping rod and setting the hook. She also did a great job of netting today. We didn't land any springs today but did have some action. Released a handful of wild coho's, boated 3 hatch jobs, and lost a couple of nice fish. Had one hit on a coho killer that mangled it. Didn't stick though. Never had a spoon get so tweaked from a fish.
I have that same glow white and green Coho killer all mangled up worse than that one from a monster size Coho a couple of years ago. Bent the tail over 90 degrees, knocked off a lot of the paint and eventually broke off the hook at the eye. They work well but it would be nice if they were made a bit more heavy duty. I am thinking cut off the welded ring and add a split ring and a small swivel before the hook.
