Salmon in the river already......

Feeling sorry for myself, I limped my way back into the river towards the boat launch. I always drop crank baits once I hit 30 FOW and into the river... Trolling along the wall I get a massive strike. I turn back to have a look and there she was in the air... My first Atlantic salmon.
My first thought was wow... is she ever lost being this far in already. I get her up to the yak and scoop her into the net. As I lift her up she starts dropping eggs.
I fish salmon and steelies like it's my job for years and this is the first time I've seen them in the river in June with loose eggs.

I wish. I had turned it off. Wasn't expecting to catch anything after going 0 for 5. Wish I would have though. It was an awesome fight. Looked like a little shark darting accross the top of the water with the two fins out.

Grats on your Atlantic. I'm curious if I caught an atlantic the other night and didn't realize. love man, whatever it was, I felt so bad. It was very lively and I couldn't get a good grip on the poor little bugger. *Night fishing woes*
