I would be happy to contribute to a prize as well.

Okay my dad has you all beat, one year well fishing the snoho for coho my dad pulled in a completely dead, molded through pink, it was falling apart from what little current there was and he HOOKED it in the MOUTH! I wish now we took a picture of it but everyone on the boat fought over who had to unhook it hahaha

I think I remember that guy, he was yelling "FISH ON" and then after he reeled in the fish, we all asked " How was the fight" [lol] [lol] [lol] [lol] [lol] [lol] [lol] [lol]

Nice job Kid!!! Was that today? I was looking for you on the river, made a run from Snohomish to G-Bar checking the river with my buddies little boat. Saw quite a few folks fishing for boots up on the flats. We passed on that and drifted most of the slots on the way back. Picked up one bit of metal about half way to Monroe. 7# Hen, barely a faint pink stripe on her side. Late summer or early winter......

Sweet!!!!!! We got a little two man sled that runs in about an inch of water so we're trying to get out most weekends. I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for ya.

PS Man, I'd love to be up on the Vedder!!! It's been years since ive been up that way. Used to go the Thompson a couple times a year for monster metal.
