First ever salmon! Put up a heck of a fight on my ultralight rod! Wasn't expecting to catch anything like this that trip for sure. Not sure how long the fish was, but i estimate the weight.

Had an amazing morning on the big lake with Deep V Sportfishing. These guys put you on the fish - so much so that we had 4 on simultaneously at one point in the outing! Tight lines, brothers & sisters!🎣
