First Salmon trip out of Northern CA today. (My buddy's boat, not the V). We fought the fur bags... ummm I mean the sealions for much of the day. Anyway, the pictures'll tell the tale.
Small silver salmon that would have been released... well I released what was left of him after the fur bag grabbed him on the way in. "Swim", I said to him, "It's just a flesh wound."
The one small 27" king salmon I kept for the day.
Fresh salmon steaks in my secret marinade.
Grilled FRESH salmon with alder smoke. Absolutely one of the best things around.
