First Chinook of the Year
 
Real nice 22 pound king salmon this morning on the first venture of the
year. The King run is so strong this year that Fish and Game is allowing
anglers to fish two rod's per man and keep two a day. The leader of our
spring derby turned in a 38 pounder this morning, that's gilled and gutted
so easily over 40 in the round.

Just closed the loan on the SeaSport this morning. Will be in Bellingham
next week to take possession and should have in Juneau in a few weeks.
Can't hardly wait.

Be ashamed Moron catch and release.

Calling "moron" is a little extreme.

I do agree that a 38-pound salmon, (or even a 22-pound salmon), will do
everybody more good when left in the run to spawn additional big fish
than gaffed and gutted to win a derby prize.....

but man is part of the natural world and one of the top predators on
the food chain. Black-n-Gold may have different values than you, but
keeping a fish now and then doesn't make somebody a moron.

Personally, I enjoy a bit of tasty salmon now and then and I have *no*
illusions about how that filet gets from the ocean to my plate. :-)

So what is wrong with eating what you catch and staying within legal
limits?

When is your PETA membership due for renewal?

Great idea. Next time I bring one of these magnificent beasts on board,
I'll sit down with him and we'll get in touch with his feelings - and mine
to. We'll do this right before I introduce him to the business end of my
custom made fish bonker (which in fact is a hand carved bonker made from the
magnificant antler of an even more magnificant Caribou whom I had the
pleasure of meeting last fall) and further introduce him to my scalding hot
skillet coated in Cajun spice and simmered in butter.

Thanks for the tip!

Tell us more. How did you catch it? What bait (herring?)? How deep? Trolling?
How fast? Come on, fill us in with the nitty-gritty details. Just where were
you, so when I go visit Chuck and he takes me for a ride, we can go there and
maybe drag a line or two.

To see what's open when you plan to come out, Google up Washington
State Sportfishing rules. I can take you fishing in Area 10. My boat
will be in Canada from the first of August through the middle of
September, (but I'll only be there about two weeks of that time and
will fly home to tend to business for a few week interval).

Trolling on the little motor, probably 2knts, Whole herring no flasher,
downrigger at 15 feet. Spot we fish kings this time of year is no more than
20 feet deep. We are a 1000 miles north of puget sound, so it will be a
long ride - look me up when you get here.
