"As soon as we rounded the break wall in the Oswego Harbor the down rigger rod fired and the reel started screaming. We had a fish on that was headed for Canada!" the father said.

Mark Bresadola, of Camillus, called me this afternoon today with a great fishing story. The pictures he sent of the fish caught in the Oswego Harbor this morning proved it.

Mark said: "I kept telling my daughter Mia Bresadola (10 years old, Camillus) that I would take her fishing one day while school was out this week. She attends Stonehedge elementary.

"Well, the weather finally cooperated and we got out this morning from 8:30-11:00 a.m. As soon as we rounded the break wall in the Oswego Harbor the down rigger rod fired and the reel started screaming. We had a fish on that was headed for Canada!

"I only brought the lighter brown trout tackle and was a little worried about the 8lb test line holding up. Mia grabbed the rod and fought the fish for 20 minutes and couldn't do any more. I took the rod and did battle for another 15 minutes, it was a father daughter team effort.

"After getting it to the boat I gave Mia the rod and I grabbed the net. (Of course it was the smaller brown trout net, which the fish barely fit into) After the 35 minute battle we had a 21-lb king salmon on board!

"We also ended up with our limit of browns, but only kept a 3,5, and 8 lb-er. The salmon was caught on a Warrior Gobie Pattern spoon off a downrigger just 4 feet down."
