Thanks for the report and the story of your journey. Salmon fishing seems to produce unexpected challenges often. I am glad you were able to cope successfully with yours.

"Reel Therapy"

Grrreat job Terry. And I third Phil, really appreciate the report with pictures.

Thanks for the report Nick. I love the image of you chasing that king around the boat.

Ditto Fish4em! Great report, and thanks for the pictures. I will get a couple double troubles.

On the destruction side I replaced two bent hooks yesterday and have 2 more yet to replace today.

WTG John. Thanks for adding direction of troll in your report.

Great job Bill.

WTG Jeremy! 2 out of 3 on a triple is sweet. Thanks for the report.

WoW! Great pictures and report.

Thanks for posting this. First, thank God this occurred in July and not April or May when the surface temps were 47, and that everyone is ok. Secondly, it was well written. Thirdly, it is a reminder to check safety equipment even though we all do this each spring before the first trip. And, lastly it provides great education on what must be done immediately upon losing power in waves that can come over the transom.

Thanks for the fishing and grandchildren report Fred. Sounds like you had some precious moments with those kids.

Thanks Ken. This past week I have also had an unusual poor ratio. They must not be striking hard enough or something.

You got a nice mess of fish there!

Isn't this a great salmon season! What a problem to have - needing a new bigger cooler. When you are looking, some of the igloos have a ruler embossed right into the top.

Thanks for the report John, Is your first mate for hire?

Good job Ross. I like the picture of the fish and the truck! Sorry to hear about your loss to the **** nets.

Sounds like you had quite the trip Nick. Sometimes you win - sometimes the fish wins, and sometimes the game ends tied.

Good job finding the fish Eric. Thanks for the report.

Grreat job Don!

Way to go Chandler! That is a lot of action. How did you do on your triple?

WTG Ben, and thanks so much for your reports.

WTG Steve, and thanks for the report.

Great pics Richard. What port did you fish out of and how deep were you fishing when you caught these beauties?

The problem with Chinook cleaning station is that after I pull my boat out of the public launch, then I would need to drive downtown with the boat, find parking and convince someone to unlock the cleaning station. We so need a cleaning station at the public launch.

Don, Thanks for the report of your successful trip!

Thanks for the report Bob. The fishing is picking up and 14 lb kings are being taken regularly now. I can't wait till August!

Thanks for the report Dave. Sounds like a great family outing to me. Core is a great fishcatcher, but boy can a 14 lb salmon make a mess of it. Hopefully you were able to get it untangled without losing any.
