I I wish I had more than an iPhone camera with me. There was no way I could get a good picture of the whale from several hundred feet away with my iPhone camera.

The dorsal was easily longer than 5’. I have zero doubts it was well beyond 5’ long. I don’t know much about orcas but that whale was absolutely massive and terrifying. I have been around pods of orca in a 17’ Lund numerous times and never felt the feelings that beast gave me. I was in an 22’ C...

I was out fishing slack on a reef for ling cod this weekend. The kind of place you can only fish at slack in the big water. I noticed porpoise spread out feeding. Not in a pod moving, they were working the little bit of flow. Then I heard the sound of an Orca taking a breath and looked over and...

I have fished Bush Point a lot (see avatar) but it’s too much of a shit show for a little boy running around while the lures fly. Has anyone ever done well for slimers at Double Bluff or Maxwelton?

I am excited about pinks for the first time in years. My son is now 4.5 years old and is ready. He will be baptized in slime!

Thanks for the update. My shopping experience was 3 years ago so maybe things have changed a lot. My wife wants a Honda Odyssey so I will likely back in the game soon. However, I do kinda of want to save our cash in case of economic crash. We have a Honda Civic that works great so should...

If you want a used car with less than 35K miles you should just buy new and take advantage of dealer financing. Used vehicles are extremely overpriced these days. Also, dealerships don’t care about cash, they want you to use their financing. So get new, get it financed, and pay that sucker off...

I should have answered Chris’ question instead of bitching; it’s just too easy to bitch on this topic. Honestly the main reason I buy my freshwater license now is so that I can take my son fishing for stockers and bass and the only other freshwater fishery I partake in is the Skagit CnR which is...

My entire adult life has felt like where I love to fish closes and as soon as I find and figure out a new fishery it is gone. Then repeat. That’s 30 years now. When I do find a new fishery or spot it gets blown up with people in a year or two because they are doing the same as me. We are all...

It was the quietest opening day on the lowland lakes I have ever seen in the Bellingham area. It was a nice sunny weekend and I would say angler participation was a 1/10th of what I usually see. I think people are hurting bad financially and don’t want to spend the money on a license to catch...

I took the last day off and floated in a buddy’s boat. Can’t say no to that! I ran a worm jig under a float ahead of the boat and had my best day of the year landing 3 on the Sauk. We went 5/6 which was not typical for us this year. The season was steady but no insane days but we hooked at...

I recently went into the doctor for my first physical in years. He asked me if I smoked and I said no but I do vape, “So that’s a no for smoking, and a no for sexual activity.”

They set everything up for first time users because first time users complain the most. It’s amazing how much better an alphabetical list is than 90% of “user interfaces”.

No idea about what recovery looks like. There is a lot of broodstock happening these days and it doesn’t appear to be an ecological disaster. But I just heard a rumor at this point. It was from a reputable source. Maybe wishful thinking…

Perfection in WA state is when absolutely nobody is happy because you have compromised to everyone’s ideologies. However, I know the Tribes are going to be getting some brood stock programs going soon because they are done waiting around for recovery.

Another good piece of advice I tell everyone is take advantage of the long days in late March and April. Very few people fish hard from 5AM to 9PM like you can towards the end of the season. The morning is always the huge surge and it’s crickets late. There is an evening bite too. I like to get...

That is a great idea. I don’t know the legalities but I’d just do it.

Thank you for sharing 2Many! It’s clear you have truly been blessed with a lifetime of good fishing with friends and family. Seeing these pics gets me really excited to take my 4 years old son out there on some real fishing adventures. The kids pond here in town is good too but he needs to see...

That fish from the upper Sky with you in a t-shirt is a 10/10 summer run. What a beast.

When I was a young kid with a Spey rod fishing the S Rivers in the 90s it really felt like something special and that is why I fell in love with the sport. I also saw some whale tails caught on the Skagit/Sauk by my mentors and random people to give me dreams of those beasts. It probably took a...
