Lost a steelhead on a 10C with orange flounder pounder, when he fouled hooked himself during one of his 3 jumps out of the water. I was pulling him in side ways at that point. Hook finally detached and he floated on the surface for a few minutes. I tried to turn around to pick him up since I could still see him, but he slipped below the surface while I was in my turn. Marked alot of fish in 117-125 fow. Fished NW of holland between tunnel park and mile sw of PS data bouy. 2-3 foot rollers last night.

My golden pup was waiting for the fish to jump on board! Only had one nibble during the short boat ride in the afternoon.
