Damn them some piggies. Cool spot too.

[@FishandForage]

Oh yeah! Definitely a solid spot :)

Yesterday I caught a 25.75 lbs 45" inch tiger muskie at lake Tapps. First one I have ever caught. It's my profile photo

Fun video, dunno if I would eat any resident smallies off the river though due to PCBs. If I were, it would definitely be the smaller fish that I'd keep, not the bigger ones. I know that doesn't probably make sense at first sniff, but the smaller fish will have fewer PCBs in their system (a 1/2-1 lb smallie still has plenty of meat on it), plus it has the added benefit of letting the bigger 2 lbrs keep growing and having a better fishery. Just my two cents. Anyhow, favorite lure would probably be either a green pumpkin or bluegill chatterbait with a boot-tail swimbait on it for more action. Keep getting out the good content!

[@FishandForage]

Yeah, I try to limit the number of smallies I eat in general. Also probably wouldn't eat any downstream of Portland/Vancouver at all! That's a good bit of info, though. I'll lower my size cap a bit next time! I think I own 3 or 4 chatterbaits but have only caught a handful of fish with them (if that!) I love their action, but I haven't put much time on them yet.

Strike King Zero 5" Worm in watermelon/red flake! It's the only lure I've caught a bass on so far, so that's the favorite 😂😂 and mine was a 2.5 😉

[@FishandForage]

Watermelon with red flake looks sexy in all soft plastics!

[@kantill]

I think I was in your neck of the woods this last week, aren't you in Washington state?

[@FishandForage]

Yeah! How'd you enjoy your stay? Get any fishin in? :)

[@kantill]

@@FishandForage I tried to get some fishing in while in Montana but was either rained or snowed out. Otherwise, I mainly was visiting family.

[@FishandForage]

Ahh I want to adventure there for some fly fishing someday...

[@kantill]

that's what I was hoping to do as well. Never went fly fishing when I lived in Montana, but wanted to fish in Glacier Park in the Flathead River. But it was closed for the most part and had four inches of snow.
