Last week was hectic for me so I was sure happy to be invited by my friend to spent some time on the water. We were fishing locally to where we live so we didnt have to get up much before sunrise. We had another friend along so that made three even tho we trolled with only two lines as not to tangle on a fairly small boat for open water. We fished about an hour and got a strike and got it in!

there was frost on the dock and things outside, but the sun was out and things warmed up, as did the bite!

then we troll around this rocky point and there is a couple of eagles on the rocks fishing as well!

this must have beena sign of things to come from the fish gods.

seems like the eagles were pairing up for mating or just taking in the sun int the morning. they are beautiful and very large birds.

Gary, I'm coming up and hiring you as my guide. You always show quality fish. Dominick
Gary has it going on! We will need to grow some more facial hair to fit in, but I bet it would be Fun to say the least! Good Job again Gary. Those Kings are Awesome! ;)
That's a nice day on the water for sure!
Gary the picture of the point you took of the Eagles and snow caped mountains is epic, I would be happy just seeing that in person without the fish....well maybe one ;D Nice view and a great catch,fore sure. By the way I already have the facial fuzz. :)
More nice kings.
Beautiful day, Gary --

Fred

Great fish there Gary, my favorite fish to eat but just live too far away now. Just keep living the dream and sending us some pics. Enjoy.

I had store bought salmon last night. I'm not complaining about the price $17.99 a pound but it was farm raised. Linda bought it not realizing it was farm raised. I expected it to taste swampy which is an off taste in most farmed fish. This batch had no off taste and it was pretty good. Still nothing like wild caught and cooked the same day. Dominick
SMOKED!! YES! ;D
