Made it back to Washington a couple times recently. Was there for Family but found some fish too.


Happened to be in town for my FAVORITE fishery. Spring Chinook.







Spent an awesome day fishing with my little brother just a week after he had a close call with a Spontaneous Pneumothorax, collapsed lung, chest tubes and emergency surgery. That's right, he's a bad ass.






Also made it back in July. Of course I went fishing.

About 10 casts into my first morning of fishing this wild summer steelhead CRUSHED my spinner in the top of a nice riffle. This fish was out of the water before I woke up. It put on an incredible acrobatic display jumping an easy dozen times. It was the fish of the week even though I caught larger. It was awesome.









Fished with my dad and brother. That's always a good day whether we get fish or not.



Cuttin up the goods...













Back home on Maui for a few weeks then off to South America where I plan to eat a lot of Argentinian Asado and hopefully catch a Golden Dorado. Taking my brother along this time. Guaranteed to be fun. Some more fish and fun pics by summers end!
