Good eating fish you caught there! Yes the trip was successful and there was a couple of fishing stories that were born. The first involved landing "my" first salmon of the day, the guy that was fishing past my son (about 30 feet from me) said he had crossed my line on the same cast, he opened his bail on his reel, barbless hooks mind you. Anyhoo I dragged in the fish and his line and upon further review it was HIS lure in the mouth of that humpy! He was a good sport about it lol! Second story was my son was fighting a fish and his reel flew off his pole, had become loose and popped off down the beach! He managed to keep the fish on, doing his best angling/fly fishing technique until we got the reel screwed back into the rod, he later lost the fish. Looked hilarious!!!
