Spooning for bass when a group of spawning salmon swam right through my line. Accidentally snagged it but a catch is a catch right??

      I have a house in New Mexico. That's where I've been for the last week in a half. I work in North Dakota though and I have an apartment there. That's ...more where I'm headed now. Back up north.

      Nope not by the mouth. I was spooning for bass when they swam through and I snagged him by the tail believe it or not. Didn't even mean to snag him. You can ...more snag here for salmon but not till October. Great fight though on a light rod. Lol

      Yes it looks bigger than 24". I fish the quality waters, San Juan below the dam every time I am in NM or southern Co.

      Biggest I've ever caught. I looked up the state record later that night and about kicked myself. 24 inches is the record. Ugh. I may have had it. But....
