Our Very First King Salmon

It's been a long slow 4 weeks of fishing with nothing to show for it and only one take down which we lost at the boat! (ARGH!!!!!) So, today, it's a fresh week, the high tide is about mid-morning so we decided to get out before the crack 'o dawn and see if the bite changed. Did it ever! Our first run up "silver alley" and bammo--fish on! We were both hearts pounding the whole time, managed to get the net hung up twice before getting it under the fish and finally into the boat. Wow! did that feel good!

 

And check out that sunrise over the trees! That was about 10 minutes after we landed the fish!
