Some had quotes embedded, nothing you said. Sometimes it's just easier to take a cleaver to things.

Nice pics Nate. Now I know what you look like! I'll look for you on the river.

Cheers!

6 and a winter run steelhead. First winter run for us this year! She was a baby, but I'm pretty stoked about it.

7 coho, 1 winter run steelhead. My bad, I was only counting the red one on the left as half a fish.

We had to keep it, it was our first one. Had to get the skunk off the boat.

Yes sir...he went wherever he pleased. I had to walk down the entire line. But I got this one into the net. Good times. My arms felt like they were gonna fall off. It was a blast.

Heres some chrome. Probably the last Coho I'll get this year. Not a bad last fish at all. Had a decent Coho year, but its time I start getting ready for steelhead.

Some pictures of awesome chum fishing. I know a lot of guys dog on dogs, but when you're catching numbers like pinks but adding 5-10 pounds per fish, you can't go wrong. Take a look at a few of the chrome-y chum we brought in on this 20+ fish day.

Too many people diss on chum. I just don't get it....it's fishing and you catch fish....

nice fish, I've been pounding the silvers in there lately. supper fresh but they are becoming few and far in between. not too mention you have to weed through a bunch of chums.

Chum are so cool. Another 20+ fish day today, kept some hens for the eggs, but man, we just had fun reeling in fish!

Been slaying some good size Chum on the Skok. I love the fight! And they are pretty darn bright too. That rain brought some in that still have sea lice on them. Good times!

They get smoked and given to the family that doesn't fish. In Virginia, salmon is salmon. Or boiled and made into soup. Lots of good uses for chum. Bury the carcass under your sunflowers when you plant 'em and they grow three feet taller.
