Got One!

Woo Hoo!! John got a Red/Sockey Salmon! He had been fishing off and on for a day and a half and was about to give up. But at about 9PM (remember it doesn't get dark) he got one. The man from Alabama next to him helped him by using his net. He then pulled the gills and banged it on the head to subdue it. Without this man's help John is pretty sure he would never been able to land it by himself especially with no net and a lightweight bass rod.

He got it filleted and we cut it up into about 4 pieces. He figures it was about 24" long and can't even guess at the weight. But it was fun!
