Occasionally, I have a great notion....sometimes that is. Today I said "Hey, I'll just be a report chaser." I went to a new to me place where I knew salmon had been caught recently. It would never have occurred to me to fish there now had not one of our fellow members fed me some information a while back (you know who you are and thanks again). I got my first salmon since November 2011. 2012 was truly forgettable. My wife came along and took a lot of pictures so, even though I have not resorted to video yet, there is a cool series of pictures to share.
First. Action shot w/outhouse.
Not ready to quit
Who needs a net when you've got a lip gripper? Just be ready for a fight in the boat.
Success.
I went basic with just one rod and two Bob Toman spinners plus two Blue Fox spinners for a backup and no net. My wife has been bringing me good luck since she has been paddling and taking pictures. I told her she should learn how to troll and double our odds and I would do all the gross stuff related to fish handling. I also got a jack in the last fifteen minutes of a long day (no pic).

Nothing much cooler than that! Two strikes on your first trip :clap: Nice work Chris!
Too much adrenaline for smiling at the moment. I had lost so many bigger fish in the last year I hate to even think about it. I am hoping this is the start of a new trend.
