Never put the "kitty" on a pedestal.

Wow, Drew cowgirls up! This could actually get interesting if she hauls in a 3 salt. But something tells me this might be the last time she's ever going to let him fish with you guys.

Let me know where to send the $20.

the wife landed her first steelhead today. Well, first 3 I should say. Haha. We went 3 for 4 on plugs. I lost the first one and she reeled in the other three. epic day. Pics to follow.

Tiggle Power!

Ah wish I could've been there.

Good work, Mark!

here's the story and pics.

We didn't touch a fish from the hatchery down to just above Wilson's which was where our luck changed. We were the first boat down so I decided to just anchor up in a strategic spud launching location and set the plugs out. I put a lindy orangeade out on the inside rod and a doctor death tadpolly out on the outside. About ten minutes in, the inside rod goes off and we had a hot fish on. After 4 jumps it was off at the boat. So we set the plugs back out and a few minutes later my wife's rod goes off. After a little bit of coaching she was playing the fish like a pro. With no other boats in sight we landed the fish. set the plugs out again and minutes later the wife's rod goes off again. she reeled that one in and then the other boats showed up. we got a good shower from T-birds boat and a spud battle from all angles began. We decided to slide over to the take out but not before backing the plugs down river a few feet. the wife's rod goes off again and I dropped the hook. As she's playing the fish I tell her to not worry but the sky valley boys are coming in hot with the net out. she horsed the fish to the net just before they got in net range and we had our third fish.

A cold and bored wife:


A happy wife with her first ever Steelhead:


An even happier wife with her 2nd ever Steelhead:


A wife that's hooked for life with her 3rd ever Steelhead!:


Look at that hook job!:


A day to remember:


Got crafty with the spud gun this year:


I love it when the fish box looks like this!:


We had a great time and can't wait for next year. I think I've found a teammate that won't bail on me.

Epic.
Nice job Drew and wifey.



Edit:
Spud Paker's dorky hard hat off.

Zero to hero with a ringer!

All hail the Comeback Kid.

Your wife might need to go see a Doctor---------------------------------------------------------and get that perma grin removed.

Nicely done Drew & Crew! Thanks for report and pics.

Freaking awesome job. Your wife looks as happy as she did when she ate the wedding cake. Good luck,


SZ

thanks everybody. I think she finally understands my insanity towards steelheading to some extent. I'm gonna take her on a few more floats this winter. I'm excited to see everyone else's pics. post em up.

Stam,

Had I known the Merg bailed on you I would have asked you roll in my boat.

I put up a Facebook ablum of photos....only problem is that I don't have any friends to see it.

I'll put up a post here tomorrow.

post em up. I'm anti Facebook. haha. anybody get any video of our last fish when Beezer rammed his boat into mine? That was an exciting fight with all you guys hootin and haulering from the bank. luckily the wife was able to get the fishes head out of the water and slide her towards the net. I was extended as far as I could go to make the stab.

What's an ablum?
