I wish I could say we caught limits, but we didn't. But we did end the day with 8 salmon for 7 anglers, sending everyone home with a salmon each of them caught, with the big fish making a thud on the deck and weighing in at 23 pounds. This really was not bad considering we were fishing at yesterday's salmon hot spot above the Deep Reef that must have attracted over 200 commercial boats in addition to a handful of charter boats today, making for tougher fishing. The last fish of the day takes the award for the best story of the day: What turned out to be a 21 pound bruiser was hooked on one of the rods towards the bow. The crew had to work their magic to finally get the fish to pop out from under the boat, and Joe went to work trying to reel in this smoker-sized salmon. The fish made at least four big leaps out of the water, with one of those resulting in the fish throwing the hook. Now things get real interesting. The hook ends up sticking the salmon in its back and now Joe has to try to reel in this strong fish sizeways without pulling too hard to avoid ripping the hook out of this 20 pound plus fish's back. They ended up having to take all lines out of the water and actually back down on the fish. It battled to the end, giving Heather a run for her money trying to get it in the net, but, after what ended up being about a 15 minute battle, they finally got it. Sounds like the spot a bit further north produced limits again of a smaller grade of fish, so we may end up that direction the next couple of days. At least there are options...big fish or smaller fish, sure is nice to finally have fish to catch!
