Captain:

Got on the water late (9:00), and headed out to West Point. I just handled the boat and let my brother and dad fish - since I can fish any day I want, they can't.

Saw a few fish boated, one that had to be close to 13 lbs. (fellow held it up, we were right beside him).

My brother hooked one, did a long-distance release on it (10 ft. from the net).

Later, about 1:30 and just as we were getting ready to bring 'em in and head back to the ramp, my dad's rod started singing...

Right off the bat I knew I wasn't a silver..unless it was a real pig. A few minutes later my dad brough the fat 15+ lb. Chinook to the side, where I released it. Nice fish, and the first King my dad ever caught..needless to say he was just jazzed about catching it, and didn't have a worry at all about me releasing it. He was \:\) and I was
