Hell yeah
 

...I caught my first Salmon for this season. I went out for an hour or so this afternoon...didn't have any luck and went back out around seven and within a few minutes caught one. Not exactly one for the record books...around eighteen pounds...but a start. I will have to buy a smoker now. A guy that fishes the same spot that I do...caught a forty-eight pounder a few days ago.

nice. always nice to go out once in a while and catch some.

congratulations... you must be really proud.

still waiting for your first business related post...

You will wait till hell freezes over. I sold all of my businesses and will never engage in business again...I am permanently retired.

sounds like a good policy... maybe i will go that route too

Since I caught my first one around 7 PM or so...I will go back out about the same time today and see if "lightening strikes twice in the same place."

fishing is boring in my opinion, but congrats anyway!! I do enjoy seafood so I respect those who do catch 'em :)

this thread just made me hungry :glugglug

18 pounds aiin't bad at all ... congrats

Well, I am going to a brewfest ! Beat that, theking !

I've been eating a lot of salmon lately. It's awesome, I love it.

First salmon of the season? Dang you are not a good fisherman!

:1orglaugh

i used to think so when i was a kid, but i love it these days.

are you in upstate NY by any chance?

Season has already started a couple of days ago afaik but the real action is in the middle of Sept to mid Oct when the Huge Runs come in.

Can't wait to get my ass up there and get a few hookups, last 2 years also caught some bigass stealheads. What a Beautiful fucking fish!

Fish ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon!

Well lightening did strike twice...in a way. I hooked one but after a rather lengthy battle I didn't land him. I tried to bull him in and my leader broke.

Salmon is good coz you can just split the fish open and eat it while it's still wriggling. Mmmm.

No...I am on the West Coast. I really am not an experienced Salmon fisherman. I am using 40 lb test line...and a 20 lb leader...with lure...does that sound about right to you. Actually that test is what I use to fish with for any ocean fish. I am fishing in a bay.
