Canning 32 jars from yesterday's trip with @jasmillo, @adamcu280, and a friend of adamcu280. Thanks for organizing and giving us a great sea state day @Cabezon! Quick report: worked for our fish, captain Nick pushed hard all day. we would have had 12 tuna, but @jasmillo decided to stick with...

Did you pull my coho out of its stomach? Happy days, for transient orca and salmon. When I was in school and surfing NorCal beaches a lot, we'd see the headless versions of those seals and sea lions up on the beaches about once a winter. Just cleanly clipped off, like with a pair of scissors.

What never, ever makes sense to me is how the "giant science/research conspiracy" folks think there is actually any real money worth lying over in science and research. There are instances of lying and coverups in science, but usually that happens because somebody is trying to protect their ego...

Can buy two Priuses/Outbacks for the price of one lifted F150/250 or a Ram dually. Just saying.

I have spent some time visiting various non-profits, marine research labs, and university labs. It's always pretty telling what these people are driving to work, you can tell they are sucking on the teat and living large. Lots of Subaru Foresters and Outbacks, including some from the 2010s...

Despite their ugly white sheen, the actual barrier zinc and titanium oxide sunscreens are the best, in my opinion. I spent too much time in the sun relying on my natural tan ability, so now I try to always put them on. Plus they don't kill coral and maybe other things like some of the chemical...

It wasn't a Leviathan line, but I had a Rio line cleanly break in August on a strong fish after a troll hit, about 15' up from the backing loop with no sign of any damage.. I think it was their 500 grain custom cut sinking line? Think that's some kind of outbound line. I don't have a reason it...

Just the net simplicity and ease and low cost and low maintenance of kayak fishing. I have a Hobie Revolution 13' with regular old school, non reverse, non rotating mirage drive. Love the speed, love the fish finder for finding bait, and absolutely love getting towed around by a big king...

Sign me up. The WA version would also be "occupy our tidelands", in addition to supposedly private river bottoms.

I got one on a cast and stripped fly, and effectively got a fish on the slide too when my troll strike fish came off after 10 seconds, but I hooked up 10 seconds later stripping my fly in. So mostly troll with some slide and bait stop action. Getting a quad going was lots of fun, especially...

Hope you get well, best wishes... That big Atlantic picture is one incredible fish. Would be a life experience for anyone, nice you got a chance at something like that. I was in northern Norway in 2018, and I actually got 2 casts at a 10 kg class Atlantic in saltwater just below the...

I have a Sonar Titan Clear Tip line for sale. 12 wt intermediate, with floating running line. Bought this in June 2024 to throw giant eel flies at night for giant Easter coast stripers. Unsuccessful over 2 nights fishing, sadly, so it's been fished about 5-6 hrs total. In perfect shape. See...

I was back east in early July fishing stripers. After an awesome 2022 trip with old friends who have them usually well figured out, nothing this year in 2 evenings of hard fishing and a couple hours surf casting. Tossed my fly over hundreds, spooking big mommas left and right, but no bites...

I have fished the west side of Whidbey for winter steelhead several times, reasonably recently. Like basically all my other WA winter steelhead days, I did not catch anything, but I wasn't alone out there either. And I was told by someone on the beach how they used to successfully catch winter...

Big and abundant lake trout in those lakes if you bring a canoe.

Its hard to feel confident in the number of fish that are "paper fish". Using MA 9-11 numbers just released, 66% of MA 9 fish, 67% of MA10 fish, and 57% of MA11 fish are paper chinook (defined as the difference between reported quota fish and actual fish checker counted fish). I am at least...

The emergency reopeners have been rumored to be highly likely, just good to hear some confirmation that we should know soon, I know you have some contacts in that space. We'll see what the outcome ends up as..

Bringer of great news!! Been waiting to see that message somewhere yesterday and today! I am always so excited for more salmon fishing days, see you out there..
