I feel so weird

But good news is I'm growing it all out again! Or until I get bored again

...or until the wife says 'lose it'.

Yes you would...

She doesn't care nor try to influence me.

Caught a few reds on the Russian river.

Nice! What do you use to fish salmon up there - I'm ignorant - fly casting, regular rod?

 

[MikeSr619]

Is that in CA?

 

[Win4us]

It was my first trip/attempt salmon fishing as well. It's all flip casting & no more than 15ft. So you can use whatever rdo you want really. I caught 1 on a flyrod and the other 2 on a bait caster.

I took about a 1 minute clip on what combat fishing looks like, shit is insane when a big group swims up the stream. Saw a guy get hooked in the bridge of the nose, thru the cartilage!

 

[Win4us]

Is that in CA?

Nope, can't say I fished in Cali before, even though I'd love to. The Russian is in the Kenai peninsula up here in AK.

 

[MikeSr619]

Gotcha. That's a good haul.

Having some fun with Brother Om...

 

[MikeSr619]

well done...you on a chartered boat or is it one of yours?

You guys look like you're having a blast...and I know for you this is a well needed (and deserved) vacation.

 

[Boone]

Yeah, we have a guy who takes us out for 1/2 day trips most years down here. Awesome morning yesterday - we were hauling in Spanish Mackerel all morning long and we did a little shark fishing as well.

 

[MikeSr619]

Sometimes it pays to know the right people....

I saw the pictures. what are your plans with the sharks?

 

[Boone]

We let them all go. I have eaten a lot of shark in my life though - it's great grilled. Don't know what the regs are on taking sharks though. We did grill up the Spanish Mackerel for fish tacos last night though. Pretty damn good!

Haven't had shark steak in a while. What type was it ?

 

[Boone]

We caught a mix of Atlantic and black tip sharks

 

[McD5]

Absolutely awesome pictures. What a blast!

 

[Win4us]

We eat black tip all the time... very good eatin if you don't do it the way most of the locals down here do it. They soak it in Italian salad dressing, then grill it. I like to grill it with some lemon butter, and basil, or poach it with lemon butter basil and a touch of black pepper.
