I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

Was this the one with John?
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Yep - we got some video of it and the release - but there was a big raindrop on the lens, that was the best frame I could pull off of it. I will post the video when I get more time. Hard to tell in the water, but he had shoulders like a Coho.

Weve made a cradle scale to weigh fish with very lil to no harm.I have pics of the native we caught that hit 15. after weighing the fish swam off . Basically iuts the same way of weighing they do with Orcas and or sharks. I say this cuz you know how us fisherpeople are. " I Fish Therefore I Lie" :-"

Whats with the upside down fish? And where did your friends find sun??? I was out yesterday and got soaked to the skin even with waders and raingear (pics coming).
His reports aren't always what they seem. Hense the upside down fish? Maybe it was on a different day?

in low water it was a piece of crap, but the first 15 feet out from bank in the bottom half of hole was actually very fishy looking today, i shoulda stayed for a few hrs i bet more than one would have moved in to rest since water was high and their moving around, but i wanted to walk the river today. high water thats the place to be tho

Cool vid. She's dime bright. Spawn sac or just a clump of eggs? I haven't had much luck with eggs yet. Cured some with borax, but no fish on them yet.....

Maybe he should of been more clear in his report that his friends were in Oregon, and had a good day. Otherwise people might assume YOU caught them in Wa and that would of been fishy. Posting upside down fish although unattractive(my opinion) is his trademark, what's wrong with it? Until WDFW says its illegal to post fish upside down, who cares people.
