Who got me involved in fishing:
My parents took me fishing to Siltcoos Lake when I was four years old and I was hooked! My folks, grandparents and several uncles all had a part in fueling my addiction.
Favorite Fishing Story:
I recently sponsored an outdoor knowledge contest for a local Boy Scout Troop and took the grand prize winner and his dad sturgeon fishing on the Willamette river near Portland. This young scout had never caught a fish over 10 inches prior to this trip. While we didn't boat a keeper that day, he hooked and landed a 36 inch sturgeon and he has pictures to show his friends. He and his father caught several shakers that day and made a great memory for all of us.
Best Fishing Joke:
Why do sturgeon jump when you hook them? Because they don't have a middle finger!
Astoria was great. Saturday was slow. We brought seven salmon to the boat. Six had adipose fins, one we knocked on the head. Sunday was a whole different story. Four Chinook ranging 19 to 26 pounds and six coho from eight to thirteen pounds. Overall not a bad weekend. It's always a great time when that group gets together!
