    I don't fish, but I shoot at things... not necessarily animals.

    Tannerites a blast!

    Caught a 25 pound Chinook salmon a few hundred yards off the Dungeness Spit with my dad when I was about 5-6 years old. Just the two of us out in pretty rough water that day. It required his help to reel in, but it was a monster for a kid. I still remember the mix of fear and excitement brining such a big salmon in the boat. It was almost as tall as me in the picture we took when we got it home. My dad loved fishing , and would go to Neah Bay every year with his dad and bribers, but it but it never took with me. I’ve done a little fly fishing here and there, but not much since I was a kid.

    For someone who's been paid to take people fishing as a summer jerb, my large fish resume is twash as fuck. No thanks to @dflea I've never caught a Steelhead. My biggest trout ever was a Donaldson rainbow (GMO rainbow/stealhead hybrid) that was about 6 or 7 lbs.

    You and Ice should hit me up in a couple weeks and make up another trip out to the OP to rustle up a wily steelhead. You might consider trying a gear rod this time. Also, if one of you guys could drive that would be great because I'd like to drink a little more than last time.

    I typically go for the big Copper River filets at Costco when they're in season. That's the extent of my fishing prowess.

    Fish for fun. Store for eating.

    This is the penny-wise way to eat fish around here. I don't even want to know what the cost per pound of the fish in my freezer is. I have a hard time buying fish I can catch, though, because I'm poor at math.
