...oh geeze....

Could that buoy be any more yellow?

...and what do you think that fish did to piss me off so?

My first time on the Columbia. Long drive but any chance to fish with a machine like SteelAddict I'm taking, you know? Although I thought it was pretty ironic to be leaving Forks during mid-march at o'dark thirty to drive four and a half hours to go fishing when I pretty much moved here so I wouldn't have to do that anymore.

One of many firsts on the trip for me...

First trip on the big C

First fish on the big C

First time I've ever had a sea lion steal a hooked fish from me.

First (and hopefully last) time I've ever seen triangle shaped 'Halibut' wedges....
