Turns out a Sea Lion liked the look of those fish in the water and while our backs were turned he chomped on the biggest one luckily all the stomping around we were doing aboard the boat must have scared him off.

Once the Halibut were done we started on the Salmon

That's some nice looking fish, some of my more adventuresome friends have been running across the line from Edmonds, just north of Seattle.

Glad everyone enjoyed the pics-it's not my company the owner does special rate trips for members of a BC based sportfishing forum (http://www.sportfishingbc.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?3-Sport-Fishing-BC-Forums) to promote a local angler's advocacy group. (http://anglerscoalition.com/)
