Great story, red.Also great photo. Good to see the next generation dedicated to fishing. The marine officer finally got back to me an hour or so ago( Ihad left him two messages that he finally listened to). I'll drop off statements from Melanie and myself, but I'm not holding my breath as to actions taken. It wasn't malice, just total ignorance that could have resulted in a tragic story.It wouldn't have made much difference if my wife was hurt, stupidity like that coming out of a launch is unforgivable. Maybe we'll be out again tomorrow, let me know if river is too discolored after rain lately. Got to put more food in freezer(that smaller 7 lb. fish made for a GREAT dinner.Wife wants to go back to Lake Quinault on Sunday, she knows what a peaceful, relaxing, and productive fishery that is, I'd like another shot at those silvers on Friday if the river holds fairly clear. Those fish fight like a rocket on the end of your line. Bob R
