First Salmon!

headed up just north of two rocks the smornin with just lures. was using soft plastics for a while getting lots of bites and all my plastics chomped in half. thought i'd try a popper so i put on a halco roosta and within about 10 mins got my first salmon!! it was awsome fun on my little penn, jumping all over the place, so im pretty stokedLaughing
