Little Su 6-19

I fished the Little Su this morning with three clients. We hooked and landed a small King at 6:05am, the client chose to let the fish go. We fished until noon ahd had 8 more bites with three fish solidly on for short periods. The fish managed to pull free to my dismay, I saw most of the bites and think that my clients may have been too fast on the hook set. I did not have the time to tell them to set the hook as I do with many of my clents. They were all experienced fisherman and set the hooks hard but we failed to land another fish. I visited with other guides about this and they said they have had similar experiences with fast an hard hook sets. The fishing has been fair to good and the run seems to be slowing.
