Twas by far the best day of salmon fishing of my life. Sebastes can confirm that we hooked more then 40 big chinook in a three day stretch. The largest kept was 38, but we released a few bigger.

We had numerous doubles and ended the insane stretch with double in a bright sun with a pod of killer whales going by,. Fishing is easy when there are tons of fish. The last morning Sebastes was sick. In three hours I landed nine big chinook and had three doubles, while alone in the boat.

The lodge owner took a photo of me with a double on and used it for his brochure cover for years after that. Good times indeed.
