We met buckhorn2 and his son early, greeted each other, had a few laughs, and left in the boat to fish. The bite started out a little slow in the morning, we failed to hook many fish that bit, we lost several fish right at the boat, and we had to release a few native coho. The action really picked up about 9ish and we ended up keeping 4 Chinook and 6 Coho for the 5 of us and were done by 10:30 or 11:00ish. We figured that big silver John caught was about 12 pounds and the kings ranged from about 18-22 pounds. I've caught quite a few cohos in the past but this was my first king today!  :tup:

The day was a pleasure with buckhorn2 and his son, they are awesome people, if we had not caught a single fish it would have been a fun day. But, we caught lots of fish (probably the best salmon fishing I've ever seen), and had an absolute fantastic day. After cleaning and filleting the fish we checked out some of buckhorn2's trophies, very nice indeed, how can life be any better than that.

I've got more work to do at home but buckhorn enticed us with an invitation to fish tomorrow. So, with sincere reluctance, we made the very hard decision to fish another day.  :chuckle:

Hunterman will be meeting us in the morning and we'll hopefully have more fishing action!  :tup:

John's son Bryce had a great time today too, he got a nice big King and a Silver! First time on the ocean and first salmon for this 12 year old!

John had a bad case of seasickness but braved it and landed fish in between doing our chumming, I felt bad for him, but he's a trooper and looking forward to tomorrow.  :tup:

Had a great time and caught a nice group of fish, don't get much better than that.

I'm sure you'll be glad you stayed the extra day because even a bad day of fishing, beats a good day at work.  :tup:
