Salmon and Steelhead Fish Pictures

Post by natetreat » Thu Aug 08, 2013 10:10 am

Okay, so I've been criticized for not putting up enough photos. Y'all on here can't get out enough so you need to see my results. Now I want to preface this with the fact that I'm a modest guy, I don't like to brag, but I'm just stating the facts: I catch a lot of fish. I'm also really busy, and it's a PIA to get photos off my phone, re-size them to fit on the forum, and then upload them to photobucket.

That being said, per your requests I'm going to make an effort to give you guys what you want. Fish pictures! So if you guys play nice, I'll give you all the photos that you want. To start things off these pictures are from the last week.

I had the opportunity to test drive Spoonman's classic drift boat. We were experimenting with our bait choices. Check out the video to see our results.

I know right? It's a killer little drifter, and rows easy too. Very fun, unless I run you into a log and the casting "brace" grabs you :)

It's a very cool boat. It rows light, a lot lighter than it looks, and is a blast to ride in. Sorry I got it covered in blood though :-"

HAhahaha! Nope, just bringing home dinner. I had to stop wearing white T-Shirts fishing, because I looked like a serial killer.

That day the big ones got away ](*,) but on the samish you have to keep the first two you catch, so there you go! Pint sized kings fight pretty good, and they smoke up better than a pink! Maybe next time we'll land a medium sized fish, rather than hooking into giant 30 lbers that take us to the sticks!

That is just one of the reasons I do not fish there. The WDFW is not going to tell me what is tablefare.
