another west coast trip in the books

[Redneck]

Made it home from my annual trip to Prince Rupert BC last night. We put a hurting on the Spring salmon lots of them and big ones. the Coho were hard to find this year but when we did we got our limit of 4 per person in a half hour with 3 of us on Dads boat. I got The biggest halibut and salmon my dad had the big ling award lol. We had ok weather one day was perfect the rest at least we got out. Had a pod of dolphins come and swim around the boat for 20 minutes that was pretty neat and man can they move fast tried to feed them a herring from the bait box but thy wert buying it at all just wanted to play around the boat. I caught a 35Lb White Spring salmon it pulled so hard and fast when it took off after I hooked it I thought I had kelp on not a fish. we were in a big tide and some wind that fish spooled me in about 40 seconds. I was yelling at dad to back down on it so I could get my line back from the kelp at least. Dad and Brett were laughing at me then said were in 200 feet of water when you hooked that fish its not kelp dumb ***. It turned out to be a beautiful fish and one of the best fights of my salt water career.
