Who, what ,where ,when ,why and how.

1. Both my Kids first fish. My daughters 12 in plant in Lake Alice at age 4 and my son's 3.5 lb Rainbow in Curlew at age 4 this past summer.

2. A 73lb king in Tofino BC. Trolling a mini hootchie in 30' of water over a sandbar 2 miles off shore . The Kings where everywhere that day. They averaged 30lbs but it was tough getting them into the boat before the sharks took them. This fish peeled 400' of line off(15lb test,11' noodle) like nothing and stayed at the end of it for 20 minutes. He came to the boat gave us a look and headed back to Alaska. He did the classic 3 runs and then came to the side of the boat. The net was too small so I had to grip him by the gills and chuck him in the boat. He was the perfect chrome bright fish. He looked like a 15lb balckmouth just a lot bigger. I had top go to a commerical fish packer to find a scale big enough.
