Title: King salmon fishing with Jim Zumbo
Post by: turkey slayer on July 23, 2010, 11:01:24 AM: Well got the call from my Buddy that owns Okanogan Vally Guide Service seeing if I wanted to go fishing with him and Jim Zumbo on the Columbia for king. Well of course I said yes.We caught a few sockeye and Jim caught a king 18 to 20 lbs. If you haven't met Jim he is one hell of a guy. the storys never stopped thru the morning. :)

Some friend he is, I cant get on his boat till late August and I didnt get my annual freebie to the IceCicle. :bash: I guess I will have to stop being a tightwad and start paying him and book a trip. He is busy!

Haven't heard much from Jim since his comments on hunting with ars. Did he get nailed to the cross.
