Shelter Cove - 3/31 - R rated video added!

Eric -

I don't know what your day job is but you really have some talent with the video cam. You should make a DVD and give Jon some competition. 

Scott

Wow... Eric... I really feel for ya bro!
Your video said it all.  There probably would have been more potty-mouthing if it was me... along with periods of intense silent prayer too.

I know a lot of guys, including me, were rooting for you to catch an ocean king.

Wow, what a thrill ride!  You put that video together nice.  Well done.

Bryan

 Wow!!! Very Kool,

 Felt like I was reading " The Old Man and The Sea " , 

Thanks, forgot to bring a good book on this mini vaca

 Man, That's AWesome, wish you at least could have seen it

 Can't wait for the Big Blue to Open up!!!!!

 Got to get up there and Fish with ya

That was so much fun it hurt. thank you!

even though I knew you'd lost it...i still hoped while watching, that the outcome was gonna change for the better

Ditto!  As I sat and watched the video, with all my might, I was trying to will that fish to your yak.  Gonna have to work on that skill because I wasn't successful.  Heartbreak city.

Holy Shiite, Batman, I'm a F%$*ing potty mouth when I have a big fish on!   

Sorry about the heartbreaker...but what an entertaining moment!!!  Thanks for sharing.

You should make a DVD and give Jon some competition. 

Thanks, Scott.  Thanks, all. 

I think Jon's style is a lot different than mine...  I admit I've only looked at a bit of his stuff, and I could be wrong here, but I think he's the kind of mothershipper that we were referring to recently - NOT the envied and respected Islander type...  He also doesn't appear to be getting much of the footage by himself.

Where I feel really fortunate is in the fact that I have an ecosystem up here where I can tap into some big fish, and that's the real draw when you look at BWJ's stuff - the fish.  I want the draw for my stuff to also be the individualistic thing - out there solo, filming it myself, experiencing something that others admire for how I make it happen and how I embrace the experience. 

I wouldn't have a studly-looking, tan helper-man hold my kayak as I try to stand up, and I'd be embarrassed to be videoing it.  Sorry, Jon, it's that "dyed-in-the-wool" pride leaking out of me again.     Good on you though for the humility to show that to everyone.

I'll be contemplating this as I make more videos.   

Hey, Z - why don't you pitch me a website deal.  I've got a little money around.  Maybe selling videos on the web is my calling!   

Great job abking It looked like you had a blast even know it was not a salmon you gave it one hell of a try for the short season that you could fish for salmon in your area . The vedio that you put with all of your post are great. I felt like i was there with you. I hope to meet up with you this year on the north coast.

 Keep it up                                             (squidly) JIM RICKER

Nice!!   Cracks me up how you were super sailor mouth during the battle then when the fish pops you give a few quickies with little emotion and ur done   
21 pulls, that fish was exactly what you think it was...not a butt or a ling.







ps....turn off the clicker next time

Well put Al.....iWASwaitingFORthatONE!

that fish was exactly what you think it was...not a butt or a ling.

ps....turn off the clicker next time

I think it was a ling, Art.  I've caught plenty of lings at 21 pulls, and it stayed on the bottom like a ling would.  Also the fact that I caught the little ling immediately afterward...  Didn't feel like a salmon - even how it was taking out drag was more lingish.  QUIT GIVING ME SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT A HUGE F%$#ING SALMON!!!!   

...and I like the clicker, guys!   

But the clicker hampers the audio 

But the clicker hampers the audio 

I like the clicker for videos. I think we got to cut folks slack for that one.

Abking, I finally had a moment to watch your "heartbreak" video.....now my stomach hurts.
