Contrary to some rumors :p I like to see some fish whacked too

The new regs that came out effective yesterday actually made it unlawful to keep a hatchery king on the Quillayute system as they have marked in the past ... so a call into Monte has resulted in an official emergency reg change at:

I expect one chunk of every springer that is now legal to keep

...and the Blazers won as well!!

Must have been a good day in the Ball household!

Way to go BOB

You get 'em Bob. Way to go.

Good job BOB!!!!!


Now I just need to land one!!!!!

Thanks to WDFW for fixing their goof quickly ... otherwise this nice fishey with a belly clip we got yesterday on our last trip of the season (unless someone wants to go this week, we're hangin' a little late this year), would have had to go back.

Chrome hatchery springer go back??? NOT

I bet that ole fellow did not set the hook too hard...

...but I atleast I did not cracker off Jerry within a few feet of the bank like someone I know.

What a beast! About 30#'s?

About 10 yards below where you did your dirty deed Ryan Sorry, no hooks in its mouth ...

Couldn't bust that 30 mark which is very big by the standards for these fish, but a tubby one nonetheless.

Goots get my chores done so I can go get one myself now!
