Arghhhhhhhhh, Hoodsport. What was worse was fishing Minter. I've delivered out there for years, and finally got a chance to fish it for salmon. I kept quite a few off the Creek. But MAN. Some guys were keeping ones that were super dark and fins turning WHITE!!! I mean, these fish were just blobs of mushy meat. It was gross. I released a few, and the guys were saying "You should keep em' for the smoker". These things fealt like slimy sponges. I kept firm ones, some with war stripes, some chrome bright. But I won't keep ones that are ready to go to the river in the sky.
