Best quote so far "Our earthquakes kick the crap out ot yours", by Backlash. Good one B2, laughed out loud. We might have a biggun stored up that'll show up soon though. As for your claim of having the biggest steelhead, that's true - but they mostly are caught in nets. As for the biggest salmon? That would Tillamook Kings. BTW, I roll down the steep river banks on purpose - I'm a smart guy - it's faster and leaves more energy to climb back out . ....

TM, what can I say; I do fish a lot in Washington - I'm a humanitarian and like to teach you guys how to feesh. Let me know when you want to climb on the Cow. ... Now come on! You nasty guys know I was refering to the Cowlitz; except TM (excuse if that got your heart pumpin a little fast). ....

Steelhead(woe)man, pro teams don't make a state! They are made up of out of state inner city and country guys that are paid to come wear a local uniform for people to yell at. That's why I didn't mention the Sonics . And I'm proud to be a flatlander that loves mountains. Flatlanders rule! ... #(%&^_#* ooouch! Oh man, I just fell on my head - so disregard this next sentence ... [Poulsboro is a very pretty area, Steel. Took the family thru the Kitsap in March and loved the whole area. - Lot of ferries though; both kinds.] ....

I agree with ya SZ about the Pen having the most steel over 20 - you can tell when the nets come out. I also agree about your OR two foot/WA four foot rule. We do prefer romancing two footed mammals. ....

BTW, this is Os's and Yall's reading instructors day off. Can someone call them and read this stuff to them so they can respond by having their neighbors type for them, so as not to appear to be ... ah ... shalapen feathered guys.
