Fishin' with First-Timers

What a neat story! Good on ya for doing this ministry!

I took a first-time fisherman out last week who's lived in the PNW his whole life. He and his wife made a substantial donation to a church youth group for their mission trip to Kentucky where 23 teenagers and 7 leaders helped rebuild homes destroyed by tornados in 2021.
So, my youngest son and I took him out for a salmon fishing trip. Of course, it was the day after WDFW shut down chinooks. But that didn't matter. He had a great time and together the 3 of us limited on cohos and pinks.
He also happens to be a former Young Life staffer.

Another update:
I took another first-time fisherman (he hasn't fished in over 30 years and never out of a boat) out last week who's lived in the PNW his whole life. He and his wife made a substantial donation to a church youth group for their mission trip to Kentucky where 23 teenagers and 7 leaders helped rebuild homes destroyed by tornados in 2021.
So, my youngest son and I took him out for a salmon fishing trip. He had a great time and together the 3 of us almost limited on cohos and pinks.
He also happens to be a former missionary.
Let's just say he was very pleased with his adventure on the water.
Also, just a reminder, that if you'd like to make a donation to help me continue to make these introductions to first-timers to fishing, check out the original post. I AM NOT A GUIDE. I am a full-time ministry leader that donate all of my gear, boat, gas, and funds to allow these trips to happen 100% FREE. I specifically try to introduce pastors, ministry leaders, and Christian business leaders into outdoor adventures.
Blessings!

Yep, you guessed it - another update! It's been a busy summer!
On this day, my son and I took out a teenager who was asking if he could get a chance to fish with us on the boat. He's only ever caught 1 salmon before, but never on a boat. So, we called him up when an open seat was available and spent 4 hours on the water together. Let's just say he left with an armful of fillets and grinning ear-to-ear.
He caught his Personal Best sized fish, a tank of a pink salmon. What a fun day!
