I guess I'm still growing up as I'm a sophmore in high school. Fortunately I've lived in Port Angeles on the Olympic Peninsula and started fishing at 2. I caught my first silver at 5 years old off the mill, first halibut was at 7 that weighed 40 pounds (little help), and my first steelie being 8 years old on the Bogachiel River. Since then I've caught hundreds of fish as my dad and I try to make it out every weekend. My feats in fishing will probably not be beat as my biggest steelie is 20-21 pounds, chinook at about 50 and silver around 20. I know I take it for granted as I've read your responses and how good it used to be.
