“Flash” Fish Update…Marcia just landed her first (I haven’t had the honor yet…hmmm) King Salmon. It was so exciting she lost her footing and fell in above her waders..but did not lose her grip on the rod. Just like movie stuff. Got it filleted and in the freezer..except for tonight’s supper.
The picture says it all. Gotta go the tide is turning and I gotta get out there…manhood points in danger at the moment.
OK- I'm not going to say too much about the 8" fighting salmon Marge landed today. It was a terrific fight but Marge's tenacity and skill prevailed. I got skunked as well so Rick, our reputations are on the line. Congratulations to Marcia on getting a King. That is similar to hooking a submarine, although none of us has probably done that. Having had the silver salmon in Aialik I would imagine that fish was excellent tasting. Keep us posted- who catches the most and the biggest King. I just hope you don't wear out your arms bringing them in. What a problem.

Congrats, Marcia! Manpoints, shmanpoints, Rick! Keep up the good work, Marcia! What's the total fish score now?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're both having a blast. Wish we were there with you to share in the fun.

Congratulations Marcia! That salmon is a monster.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are having a great time and thank you for staying in touch through the blog. Hope Rick is as lucky as you and catches his King salmon too.
Take care,
