Fish On

Got tired of getting skunked trying for salmon on my kayak this year so decided to go out on the New Rayann on Labor Day. We fished from 6:45 am till 3:45 Pm caught, 38 fish for 21 people, the biggest 28 lbs. going to woman her first time salmon fishing. The action was on and off but when it was on sone big fish were being pulled up and high fives and fist bumps all around, but not for me. I got excited two times thinking I had a fish on, only to realize someone else's fish got caught up in my line and cut me off both times loosing all of the gear  . Realized that I am a big baby , I was happy at first for everyone catching as I was telling myself its my turn now, but as it was getting later I was not feeling the love as much because it wasn't my turn. Around 2:00 in the afternoon I was wondering if I was gonna go home empty handed (again)  as others we leaving with some big fish than it was finally my turn. I had about 120 ft. of line out and my reel starts peeling, it takes me a while to reel it in as it was a really nice fish. A I get it next the boat I get excited its a nice fish  22 lbs.    it takes another couple of runs then lands in the net. As it hits the deck I let out a victory scream high fives and fist bumps all around, all done with my pity party. Send down my set up and 5 minutes later get my second one 18 lbs. What a great day. 

Boom!  What a road to victory!

Nice one hangin  in there... hey never frown on pity parties.

Ha! Nice fishies and good story.

That's how a fishing funk ends. After many skunks and pity parties then .... BAM!!!
From now on salmon fishing will be easier for you.
Way to hang tough.
Same goes for any other species, fresh or salt.
Happy for you.
I am persistently waiting for my turn with a big WSB.
Someday......

..."I pity the fool"(said with best Mr.T impersonation)...that has a pity party...I'm sure I've had my internal share but we shake it off and catch fish, we hope...no pity parties allowed...BYOP...invites revoked...

Hell yeah Steve!!
