Went with a guide once, he told me bananas are bad luck. I had one for breakfast and didnt catch a single Chinook, everyone else did though. Atleast I caught a Sockeye, and it tasted great.
:yike: We had that guy...I had to leave my Banana on the garbage can over in the alley!...Still didn't catch a thing on the YAK!

---There's good ones and bad ones. Toby Muck and Clancy Holt being at the top of the totem pole, Ive fished with Toby a bunch of times and its always been a good trip! I ran into Clancy at the dock in Kalama one time and we talked and he gave me great pointers and was just a great guy! Now on the other hand I tried to talk with a guide named lee barkie one time and He was a complete *censored* and acted like I couldn't even ask how he did that day. Even if the guy can catch fish He was a jerk, another bad experience was at the dock one time I was talking with Toby Muck and that Tight lines guide was freaking out because Toby told me the evening bite has been good, like that was a big deal. Anyways Toby, Clancy Top Notch :tup:

Sorry to hear about your Lee Barkie experience.  I have known Lee for years and seen him go out of his way to help people.
I was fishing with him one day and another boat had a disabled angler on board.
Lee motored over, tied one of his own rigs on the guys' rod and taught him how to fish it....Lee has really been generous and selfless in my experience.
I guess everybody can have a bad day.

No bananas in my boat. Good way to go swiming.

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook twice?
