Thanks, 10lbs if I remember right. Grandpa put him on ice in a cooler till the Libby News got there; explaining the discoloration. Had to yell to my brother across the river to bring the big net; he had to wait to run across the mill logging bridge (between trucks) to get the net over. The big trout net was too small; I ended up wearing the kamloop out and “sitting” on it in the shallows to get him :chuckle:

:chuckle: Those afternoon suns are like an ambien!
I find myself doing the same thing now. Kick back under a tree on a sunny day, im out. Only i dont snore. Twice now ive woken up from a good nap to fill a tag from a critter right on top of me.

I released that beauty to breed and provide lots of minnows for walleye and pike like these to eat and grow
Also, my Yeti is full of bullet holes and the only Doge I'd have is a '69 Hemi-Charger..HA

Went bass fishing with my father-in-law this summer. Let him borrow one of my bass lures (spinner bait) and he then catches this rainbow while fishing beside me! Good memories.

This veteran Skipper always seemed to know just where the fish were. :tup:
My Dad would usually win the pot for the Biggest Fish as he would fish for the Kings, (dropping his line down about 20 Feet deeper than the rest of us.)
Me being just a Kid (with no "Adult" smelling stinky hands), I would usually take the prize for the "Most Fish," and my Mom being fast and lucky would usually have the "First Fish" on deck.
Everyone else on board would accuse our Family of having somehow "rigged" The Pool! :IBCOOL: Good Memories.......

Salmon Charters had by far the biggest Westport fleet back in the day.
Salmon Charters boats are all yellow ones pictured here in the early 80's.

I wouldn't pose much threat to you. I'd spend all my time farting around to close to shore on tiny little gravel flats spinning my wheels. You long draggers have a mindset I struggle with. I'd definitely spend hours staring at that fancy fish finder of yours. It's like a really expensive video game!

82# dressed (gills and guts removed) king salmon landed in Sitka during the 2002 season. It was sold by the commercial fisherman to my Co-op, then promptly stolen from them that night.
Nobody ever found out what happened to it.

Last salmon trip my brother and I had with Dad.
Small charter that we had been out with before. He was on the wrong side of the channel marker on our way out in the fog and we ran aground as the tide was going out. Spent several hours waiting for the tide to change.

Those things are the best eating fish ive had. Too bad theyre not more prolific.
I agree. If I had one fish to eat the rest of my life, it would be Yelloweye. That fish there was probably a 60+ year old fish, that's the problem with them. They age so painfully slow, and everything on the ocean floor eats little rockfish. No surprise their populations are low.
