Side pressure, stand away from the bank and angle the fish to shore. There was limited room but some spots you passed it could have been done. Great battle
theres a good chance dat fish was snagged, but i had a couple coho that i had to run down like a mile down. and all 3 fish were hooked right in the chops. ( 3 chommeee hens cought in sandy river oregon at the meat hole, house hole. dodge park, garbage hole, and the mouth of cedar.).
That, my friend, was an epic battle. A baitcasting rig gives you direct drive power.....ignore the spey rod suggestion. The best lever possible is a proper baitcasting rig. There comes a time, though.......when you just gotta dig your boots in, stand your ground and ppppuuuummmmp that thing upstream to you and see who wins.
All in good fun, pal...ive been there myself with nothing on the other end more than a few times. Thats why we love it.

Very nice. Might I suggest a spey rod for such fights in the future--might give you the upper-hand.
