Took the boat out on the Columbia Monday...my future son-in-law caught one.  A good day.

Bought it 2 days before, and then the day after got a new reel for it.  Then got ready to go fishing the next day......and it was dark when I left for the Columbia and I didn't see the card......will that work....lol. :chuckle:

A couple of nice fish there but that second one looks pre-smoked!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

micahash1, when you said a big fish, you were not kidding.  very nice.  Will see you on the Klick this weekend for sure.  I need some salmon in the smoker.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Nice fish!  Love the foam cutlass coming at you from the edge of the first pic  :chuckle:
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

It was actually bright when I caught it then it darkened up.  The meat though ended up nicer that the first chrome fish.

They always darken up a bit in the cooler.
