Well tonight I have finally matched the feat of my lovely bride. As you have seen in the previous post Becca was able to hook into two silvers (coho salmon) on her very first trip out fishing. Besides being quite impressive, they we're quite tasty. Since then though, I have not been able to match her or even to catch a single silver. The only thing that either of us has caught since that good trip of hers is stinky pinks (they look like they should be dead already when they are swimming) and believe me, she has been letting me know that I haven't caught a single silver, let alone match her.
Tonight I have redeemed my manhood. After dropping her off at the dock to travel out to the retreat that she was going on this weekend I went out to the river to see what I could do. Well, I finally caught a silver, and of what a doozy it was. I caught a wapping monster that was 29 inches long and 12.5 pounds. It was a monster and a ton of fun to catch. I can't wait to get out there and catch another one. They should start their run here this week, and hopefully we'll be able to put a few fillets in the freezer. Luckily the monster I caught made for over 5.5 pounds of fresh salmon for the freezer. =)
Well all is well here. Just thought I would put a quick post up to show you the fun we have up here. I know, Matt, and Alex will probably be drooling and I wouldn't be surprised if they were on the next flight up here. Hope all is well with everyone, and hope to see some of you soon.
