  1. Hi Leechman,

     

    This was my second time out but this time we caught way bigger fish. The guide said the second was the biggest (mine) but he didn't realize at the the time so we didn't get to shore.

     

    My mom's: 6'6"

     

    Mine: approx 7'

     

    Brother's : 6'8"

     

    All these fish were 150 - 200lbs

     

    The others we didn't bother measuring.

  2. Hello Everybody!

     

    Just got back from Vancouver this Saturday after 3 weeks.

     

    I had a blast and caught some big massive fish! :thumbsup_anim:

     

    Week 1:

     

    The first week me and my brother went up early to help my uncle with a few things around the house.

     

    Here are some shots from the plane.

    Week 2:

     

    The next week my parents came up and we left for Tofino.

     

    Here's some pics from Vancouver Island.

    About half way to Tofino we stopped at an old growth forest.

    Then a little bit further we stopped at this river.

    Then we finally got to Tofino and are first stop was Long Beach.

    The next day was the day we went salmon fishing. It did not go so well. :whistling:

     

    The night before there was a massive storm it was almost a hurricane. :wallbash:

     

    So we got to the boat launch and our vessel for the day was a 28 ft Boston Whaler.

     

    Once we left the dock it was a pretty smooth ride and i thought "This ain't so bad" but it didn't last very long.

     

    Then came the massive swells.

     

    I lasted for about 20 mins longer but then i got sick. :blink:

     

    So our guide decided to try to troll here and instantly there was a double header and it was two cohos.

     

    Then the bang there was a second double header and it was 2 Chinooks.

     

    But after that there was nothing.

     

    So my dad and uncle decide to pack it in.

     

    By that time i was puking my guts out.

     

    In the end we kept 3 of the 4 salmon.

     

    But once i got back to our cottage i was still sick so i layed in bed the rest of the day.

     

    The next day we went to all sorts of beaches and it was finally a nice day!

     

    Here's my Brother and baby cousin throwing rocks at the beach at our cottage

    Week 3:

     

    We did a few more thing like going shopping in the states, Kayaking at Deep Cove and went to Downtown Vancouver.

     

    But the highlight of the trip was Sturgeon fishing on the mighty Fraser!

     

    First fish of the day was my mom's.

    Then it was my turn.

    IMG_4149_1024x768.jpg

     

    We didn't get any photos with it because the guide didn't realize how big it was.

     

    Then my brother's turn.

    Then i got this little guy.

     

    IMG_4164_1024x768.jpg

     

    Then this was the last fish for the day.

    Hope you enjoyed this report and had great summers yourselves.

     

    Now i have to go back to school tomorrow. <_<

  3. With the big equiptment it was nothing compared to the power of a steelie, but it was really cool because it was so much easier to control the acrobatics with the extra power and movement in the big stick. Took quite a while to land the big one, much longer than it would with a regular rod and reel

     

    Cool!
