Anyone who knows me knows I'm all about breaking stereo-types, so I did my part on the Skok on Friday by bumming a fish off of a black man. I "somehow" became intangled in this man's silver salmon while he was fighting it. He had a pretty good stringer of healty ho's going on the beach and didn't seem particularly interested in this one when it hit the beach, and I couldn't help laugh at the irony so I asked him if he wanted it. He gave it to me. About this time the thing came loose at our feet and made a break across the shallows headed for deeper water. I didn't want to look "too" desperate by chasing it down, so I made a half-hearted attempt to kick it to safety. I missed, but it swam under the boat, which was sitting on the graveld bar. We figured it got away. About 20 minutes later Tony looks down and sees a tail sticking from out under the chine of the boat, reaches down, grabs it and throws it in the boat.

Anyway, I was shoving grilled silver in my mouth Saturday night when Richard called and I told him that I was eating a fish I bummed off of a black man.

You're welcome.

Was it the dude in that avatar?

Too funny, We luv ya man !!!

I somehow hooked a nice silver in the tail with a spinner. Was debating on keepin it. What the heck there were more to catch. I let her go & she swims into a rock & conked herself out. Tasty

Same guy showed me how to catch fish on the Skok. He said, "Cast right over there, count to three and set the hook.......look, hooked right in the mouth."

I kept coming up with a Chum. Not sure what he was doing different, but he was "dialed" on the silvers. Some other tool in the line-up went off on a tangent about fishing ethic and morals vs lining fish. I was thinking, "Dude, you're on the Skok for Christ sake." Dan and Tony fair-hooked...and lost...at least 5 big chrome silvers on spinners (I swear those two are married the way they get along). Should have been a banner day fish wise, but, ya'll know how that can go.

We're such f'n 'tards.

I foul-hooked a chumster in the dorsal fin.......landed that mofo no problem. But can I land a fair-hooked silver? Noooooooooooo.

If you'd have walked down to the boat another couple dozen times, we'd have landed one eventually. (Every time Tim walked down to the boat, we'd hook a fish. We tried sending him down there for no particular reason, but he wouldn't go.)

F'n silvers and their "look at me.......I'm going to spin and twist and flip around" moves.

If you'd have been less stoned, like that's even possible, you might have mustered up the reaction time to actually bury a hook-set.

And where's the fun in that?

good to see someone's still willing to fight the good fight.

Sorry I missed the Gong show.

Would it have made any difference if the dude was WHITE?

Guess I don't get it.

Great story on the fish hanging around though!

Yeah, it wouldn't have been funny.

Why do I get the idea fishing the skok for Silvers sounds like fishing in a bathtub? Sounds like you guys are having a ton of fun down there.

Yeah, it swam under the boat so fast it lodged itself sideways beween the boat and the gravel bar and drowned itself. It's hard to respect a fish that is that stupid, but like a women I know, I ate it anyway.

When it first came loose and took off I started chasing it. An image of some kid running through a sprinkler came to mind, which struck me as UNCOOL, so I stopped and pretended not to care that it got away. I even looked around to see if anyone noticed. Slamin' big BC steelhead one week, and chasing down a snagged 6-pound gift fish on the Skok the next. WTF?

"Stupid is as stupid does." -Forrest Gump

That one stuck with ya, ehhh?

that is the funniest shiat i have heard in awhile. you post this great thread last week with all of these monster fish and then chasing the snagged fish. lol. that should be on the lol thread

Oh, if only we could read the journals of those Skok fish......it would go something like this. "Hey Sal, did you see that dumbs**t fisherman on that log fall into the river and try to join us? " (Sorry Vince) ."Yeah Sal ,those fisherman sure are a bunch of losers!"

Steve

That fish wasn't snagged...........hell, it wasn't hooked at all.

Ohhhh.......you're talking about BEFORE the "getaway that wasn't".

If you'd have chased that thing any further, I was going to bust out the camera for some way funny action shots.

lol

So true, wonder why that is ?

I hate stereotypes. I was dating a beautiful blind gal a while back and after we slept together she said "WOW! I never would have guessed that you were a black man."

I said "No, dear, I'm white but my friend seastrike is black."

She replied "No I dated him before you and I'm pretty damn sure he's Chinese."

Come on Kid, thats just wrong.......;)

Ng

Well, you know, there's this info-mercial on right now that promises to fix that problem.

Maybe you can let me and FishNg1 know how well it works for ya, seastrike.

Shame on you, Justin... you shameless kiss-and-tell types take the cake... SHEESH!

The kid claims to have a kickstand, yet he's falling down all the time. Go figure.

I have a friend here in town who has a reputation for being hung like a rodeo clown. We were out drinking the other night and the subject came up over conversation with a couple of chicks at the bar. A little later we convinced them to take a ride with us. It was dark, my buddy and one of these chicks was in the back seat, and I hear her say, "My, you ARE are big boy." Me and the other chick laughed so damn hard it hurt.

Sol, you said you would keep that night out a secret, now you have me blushing.....fckr :>)

"Simply the biggest"

I have to go now. Bi.
