My oldest son's last outing. The Silvers and Humpbacks are hitting.

Very nice Silver. One of several that day including a few Humpies.

Got a good run of Atlantic salmon on our river, mostly in the 10-15lb range. That's double last year's size(they were mostly grilse).
16lb sea trout caught on Monday too.
Not bad so far for a river that is 45' wide at most & all of 15 miles long.

Hey Mike. My son is 6' 2". That makes that salmon a big one (for a Silver). Seems fishing is getting good all over...Outstanding

Which species are your salmon?

Wonder if the larger than usual salmon glows in the dark...

Mike...We have Kings (Chinooks), Humpbacks (humpies), Blackmouth, Silvers and some Jack salmon in some of the streams.

HUH?? "...glows in the dark." What??

Nice looking silver, Suz is right, fire up that smoker.

Bushmaster · Posted: Sun Sep 11, 2011 8:09 am Post subject: Re: Life in Puget Sound is good

Well Suz...He's 43 (sept 19) and single (recently divorced).

You'll have'ta get him on the forum so I can check his credentials. Is he a wife beater? can't be without one. With his height I could out-run him easily, like a lepricon runnin in circles. Oh I'm too old for him anyway.....his friends would think I was his mom (except for the completion and short stature and slight accent and probably worse manners and unmistakable smell of corn tortillas and hauntingly slow deliberate speech) I like to fish tho!

Damn fine looking fish Son of Bushy. I notice you are on a boat, so I am assuming that the fish is a deep sea variety...damn I wish I was allowed to have a boat.

You call it a Silver Bushy...what breed of fish is that mate?

Cheers, Vince
