Joey

Damn, wish I had read this earlier, I'd have met you there for some of your Handlebarz Lures Mike!!! Gonna be heading up to Nip shortly and wanted to take some with me. As for my bulldog, I just leave it on the boat floor

Holy Ron, what a day. Those are some real beauties you guys caught. Excellent You want some ice with that?

Really nice fish there. Sounds like a very productive fishing trip. Sorry your dad could not make it

Beauty ski, what a massive head on her. Well now you can go buy a new reel

Really nice boots Mike, next time you go up there can you grab me a pair. Love them And Lew, that is an awesome picture of you, your dad and bro. Really cool!!

Great pics!!!

Awesome Mike, great picture

Boy, you've had a rough summer bud. Hope things start to turn around for you. I'll be thinking about you and the Mrs. Please keep us updated!

Yes, it appears that way Will. Salmon/Steelhead fishing 101 Sign me up

Well looks like you had a bit better day of catching than we did. Yup, just a beauty day out there Will, great report!

Yup, ugly as sin, the fish I mean

Really cool report, I love seeing the different fish from other places around the world. Congrats on getting married I'm not sure I'd swim with those whale sharks, looks cool, but don't think I could do it!!

What a sweet fish Joey, look at the rosy cheeks on that beauty Way to go

Actually, we'd like to do all three my dear

Yup, Terry is right, I have an HP laptop and the keyboard is a pain the you know what. Often times I'll hit the wrong key and it changes me from US to something else and I don't have the question mark or the @ sign anymore etc. and have to change it back to US.

Thanks guys, guess the hook jaw is what perplexed us. I've only ever caught them mostly earlier in the season and they had much smaller mouths than this one with no hook. Yes, looking at the tail would indicate Steelhead, expecially with the spots on the whole tail.

A steelhead with a white mouth and hook jaw? I guess it's been awhile since I caught a steelhead I always thought they had a black mouth and smaller jaw. It's the same fish in both pics BTW!

Very nice Andrew, way to go

Just awesome Lew, I love seeing the bald eagles when we go up north. Maybe you might want to get yourself a camera like mine for next time You should be having a birthday or something soon right, maybe Christmas

That looks really good, I've never boiled a fish before in my life. I may just have to try that. Thanks for the recipe. Really nice fish your son caught there

Actually, it was a comedy of errors Lew, it was supposed to be my fish, so Paul grabbed the rod for me, but it was already on the surface, and we actually thought he grabbed the wrong rod, so I grabbed the other, then we thought we were tangled. It ended up being on the rod in his hands and we both reeled in, and it was pretty much at the boat already, so I netted it. Ralphie gets the next one

Went out on the big lake for some salmon today. What a beautiful day it was out there. Water was like glass most of the morning. I think it was a bit too early for darling Ralphie tho Right off the get go, on the way out to deeper water, as we trolled out, we got a hit. Believe it is a coho salmon. Just a beauty right near the surface!!! Then we waited patiently for more hits! Lots of these guys flying south, monarch butterflies Couldn't get a good pic tho with the boat moving and them fluttering by! Ralphie got tired of waiting Not sure if this is allowed as Ralphie doesn't have his boater operators card We stuck it out until about 1 p.m. and didn't get another hit. We did see the fish come up after the lure on the fishfinder, then go back down again, dang that's frustrating! But it was such a nice day it didn't matter, was just nice to be out there!!! Cheers, Joey

Some nice pike there

Nice going

Really nice fish there, sounds like a nice day
