Jeeez....here we go again. Every time someone posts a pic,there are those out there that must look for any little thing to b*tch about. Andy's son catches a sweet fish and it becomes an king,and the seasons been closed for a week. Andy tries to stay positive,and the next guy starts in about unpinched barbs. You jerks need to go fishing,instead of sitting at your PC all day. It looks like your jealous,because Andy's son catches bigger fish than you.

Oh Yea....I can see the oval spots on that Kings tail.

Sorry bout that, anyways congrats on your catch, sounds like you had a good time.

Capt. Q,

Now was that so hard? :p

Apology accepted! Thanks for taking the time to say that. Most folks would just let it lie, but you didn't. Good man.

Andy

Hey, Andy, I read the entire thread before I read your tagline at the bottom...had me LMAO! I've always though your posts were some of the LEAST offensive and most informative. It puzzles me that you'd be the kind of guy taking all the hits.....karma just ain't working for you for some reason. You didn't steal someone's girlfriend and marry her or something did you?

You guys, if you read the whole thread you'll see numerous references to that fish being a pink. If you're going to criticize on a fishing board, make sure you know the diff. between a pink and a chinook!

I can't explain the Karma thing. I have taken a number of newbies fishing, showing them how to fish Sekiu, I have been painting the neighbor lady's house for the last two days, I am watching the kids while my wife and her lady friends head up to Seattle for a weekend shopping trip, and for 5 of my 9 vacation days I am the sole parent around my boys.

Go figure??????

I am one of the newbies that andy took out at Sekiu last weekend. All gear on his boat had the barbs pinched the night before. And anything that we brought along he checked before it went in the water. All fish that were questionable keepers were not even netted until a positive ID was made. And he knows his fish! The reg. book was sitting on the dash of the boat, but I think he could probably quote it anyway.
I wouldn't bother picking over any of his photos for violations. you won't find any.

Great pics of your son and his !

HBP - I agree.

I just figure that no good deed goes unpunished. At least that's been my experience.

Nice smile on that kid. I'm taking mine out tomorrow, see what we can do.

Now that's a happy looking boy.

I want to be there when you break out SpongeBob for a Summer Steelhead!

Way to go kiddo!!! Nice fish! Good job Dad!

Andy,
I stil do not know who is luckiar,those two boys for having you for a father or you for having them as your sons.Do they know they are becoming little internet stars?

Hey did you ever scout out the train wreck?

Great picture and congrats to your son. My first son caught his first salmon at about 7, and my second son at 3, both at Sekiu and both chinook. By the way, if your son's pink was actually 12 pounds, it could have been a new state saltwater record. Standing mark is 11.56 pounds; freshwater record is 14.86.

This kid looks like a winner for this years Annual Snoopy Rod Derby!!
