Mine is a reminder of two of my favorite hunts ever. The smaller bull was Yakima 2001. My favorite hunt EVER. We bugled bulls in 7 straight days (really, I promise). Never done any thing like it before or since. I called a big 6X6 to my partner on the opener, but he missed it. It got mine on day 2 (took him 45 minutes to come within range), and we called bulls in on days 3-7 (partner had a rough year). On day 6, I called in a huge 6X6 broadside at less than 30 yards to me - my partner couldn't see him. I could have nailed him but we don't party hunt (I was armed in case I saw a bear). The bigger bull I got at 24 paces this year. I was actually scared for my safety after I shot him and he looked at me and walked my direction. He fell at about 10 yards while I was wishing there was a climbing tree nearby. What a funky rack. What a horrible pack out.... I could tell you about the really big one I almost got, but I'd start crying on my keyboard.... It just makes me smile to remember.

Just a memory of me and my old lost friend – a golden retriever named "sport".

My First King over sixty. Mearsured something like 51 x 31. Caught in the salt. Immature fish. Would have liked to seem him the following year. Same day, commercial troller fishing same area landed a King that dressed out at 84lbs. Estimated weight of 93. At the time they were getting about a dollar a lb. $100 dollar fish, somethings wrong.

Was that a red or a white king?

Just one of my dozens of 20+ Zipperlip fish :p
Taped at 26-27 pounds or so, caught several bigger, but framing worked best for an avatar pic.
'Bout time for a new one ... maybe I'll find a new pic in Aruba!
I can force avatar size, but it would have to be a perfect square to do so ... and I hate to do that. I just trust that folks will try to keep them reasonable. If you need help with that, email me and I can usually help!

Kinda odd since I'm almost 16. ZEPPELIN ROCKS!!!! edit: Oh and thanx for all the replies!

Just a nice evening on the sound last summer, on the way back from PNP with a full cooler of pinks and coho. Thanks Andy for taking the nice pic.
