Up until I put the beast in the net, I was convinced it was just another big a$$ king. Boy was I wrong!
Congrats to Master Nick Farrer for the biggest coho to grace my vessel all year.

Pretty decent one  Another mid- high teener  This one was huge, netted it thinking 20 pound Chinook, then once she was in the bag we realized what we had.  Terrific year for Coho on the Fraser system, first year in many there was no Commie or FN Commie Chum fishery, ya think theres a corealation. Around here low Chum runs means Coho and Interior Steelhead sneak through, but at a cost to nutrient value provided by Chum. The Chum are like women, you can't live with em and can't live without em.

Had two glory days, a half dozen good days, and a whole bunch of ho hum days out there chasin' coho. But the most special trip of the season was when my oldest daughter Jodi called to ask if I could take her and a bunch of college friends out in the boat. I said sign 'em up for CCA and you got a deal. Sorry to the folks that got the last minute boot that weekend. How could I say "no" to my own daughter?
Couple days later I get a call from LMWS, asking if there's room for her, too.... and it's not even a Daddy weekend! Again, ain't no way I could say "no".... so I ended up launching on a Saturday AM with EIGHT people on board. Got all but one guy a decent fish.
Fish of the day came to Jodi.... now tell me, is there a better way to make a papa proud?
