Capt. Mike,

Lets just hope that the show I did with "Fishing The West" insired you. I took Larry and his crew on the West Fork of the Humptulips in 1984 and we had an OK day. All the main rivers were blown out so this was just an alternative place to try to do the shoot. We managed to catch a couple nice fish and also a couple dark fish. All in all it turned out pretty good. Pretty sure we hit 7 and landed 4. One fish was about 16 pounds that we released.

I can't remember what he told me that it costs to bring a show to television but it was unbelievable. We had two boats, Larry and myself, two camera people, one sound person and a young guy to drag the boats around. Of course, I donated the trip and got a few good bookings from it.

I ran into Larry at the Pulallup(sp) sport show and he is still pushing fishing trips. He is a pretty good guy and seems like a very hard worker.
