Salmon Fishing #2

So after the work week from hell, by buddy Sam, his brother Jon, and I all went back up to Port Hope again to try our luck once more. We stopped at the Ganaraska River, and tried there first Sam snagged one about 20Lbs, he released it. He got another on the line and he let me feel what it was like to fight it, so about 4 minutes in the darn thing snapped my line. So enough there so we headed out to the pier, after a little bit, snap Sam snags another one, this one he kept, it was a go 27-30Lbs (Picture attached.) I got another one on the line and wouldn't you know it, line breaks. So I've never tied a salmon fishing line so I got Jon to. Well while he's tying mine, doesn't he get a real nice bite, so I of course grabbed his line and wham. On goes the fight, a good ten minute battle and finally, I get him to the side of the pier. Sam reaches down with the net to pull him up and the fish does one more roll towards the net. Doesn't the darn thing have a huge spoon lure stuck in his mouth, the thing tangles up the net and catches my line. You guessed it, tears my line and the friggin thing gets away. Now I was really frustrated, cause man I want to snag my first one, cause the battle is soo much fun. So away we go again, get one on, start the fight, 5 or so minutes goes by and we hear a "CRACK," all I can think is oh no I broke the rod. Look up, nope, look down and the fish took all my line. Yeah nothing left on the reel, well that was that. It was an amazingly relaxing time though, Thanks again Sam it was a blast.
