First was the coho, which was "great fun to catch" says Sneakers. Back it went as they aren't legal to keep here. Then the keeper. A nice chinook salmon. And guess what? This baby is bigger than the winning fish from the U-Da-Man competition last weekend. Whoot!
And may I say, I was soooooooo excited for my hubby. When Linda dropped him off, I walked out on the porch and asked how they did and Sneakers held up his prize and I WHOOPED right from the porch. I'm sure most of our neighbors heard me. I was so darn happy for him. Still am. Anyhow, here's some pics of the river at sun up and the fish.

Who gets to clean it?

Ryan cleaned it while they were on the boat. We just had to cut it up and package the "steaks".

Also glad to hear that he is recovered nicely and getting back into the "action".

Mac looks very healthy as well as happy.
And the scenery can only be described as spectacular.

Congratulations, Sneakers, on achieving his ambition, and to both on achieving such a long run from the church...

Can't eat salmon every night.
Why not?! That would give Sneakers a reason to go fishing every day!

Yeah, like that'll happen in my lifetime.

I've had salmon and eggs for breakfast, salmon hash for lunch, and salmon almondine for dinner! So many salmon, so little time to catch them. Thanks for sharing and I'll put this on my list of things yet to do!

If you come out this way during salmon fishing season, Sneakers will be glad to take you up the river.
