Fished Saturday and caught a big spring with a huge gash in its side (most likely from a seal attack).  But it fought with vigor so I decided that it deserved to pass on its superior genes.

He turns and tells me, "I was picking out a rats nest and then a fish grabbed my bait".

A one eyed spring

I guess it is better then a one eyed, one horned giant purple people eater

Went out to the vedder after work today with a buddy, he had never fish for salmon before. We'll right away I tell him the fishing should be good after the rainfall we had, just to get his hopes up. He looks around and tells me theres alot of people fishing, and I told him this is quite normal for salmon season. Well we head off to an area that a friend had recommended, and I spent the next 10 mins gearing up his rod, and giving him alittle adive on how to cast, and when to cast while fishing with others. Well I got him all setup, and tell him to just cast out and let it free drift. While im still in the process of setting my rod up, my buddy yells, " I think I got something". I turn around and his rod is bouncing, and I am quite surprised he managed to hook something so fast. As he battles it, I asked him, how he managed to hook the fish so fast, on his first trip to the vedder. He turns and tells me, "I was picking out a rats nest and then a fish grabbed my bait". With alot of guiding he was able to bring the fish in, and just happened to be a 8lb hatchery coho. As beginner luck goes he manages to hook and land another jack. All within an hour and a half period, he said hes coming back wednesday.

Nice!  Gotta say, most of us don't start out that way!  Hard to beat a nice 8 lb hatch coho as your first "fluke" fish!
