Salmon 2010

Don describes fishing as "exhilarating"- that's not exactly the word I would use. In fact, that's probably the last word that would come to my mind. 


There's obviously something that I don't understand or appreciate, but I love seeing his excitement about it, and I'm glad he has a brother that enjoys it with him.  


This past weekend, they went salmon fishing in Michigan and had a great time. They hooked into 30+ fish and landed a bunch of them. 


Here are some shots of their trip:


These fish look a little prehistoric, don't they? I don't think I'd even dare put my big toe in this water knowing these guys were swimming around.  


Joe reeling in a salmon...


Nice one! (I mean that strictly in the sense that it's a big fish... I'd never want to catch or touch something that looks like this- if I had this fish on my line, I'd drop the pole and run in the opposite direction.) 


I'm glad they had fun, and I'm glad that they came home safe. (And, I'm glad that fishing season is almost over!)

Almost over??? I wouldn't be surprised if ice fishing is in their future. :)

Did they keep any for eating? I'm sure you would have enjoyed the cleaning and gutting process. :)

LOL Sara, you CRACK me up! I love it! :) I get it, but I totally don't get fishing without being able to keep & eat them. That is so weird. Looks like they had fun though!

I'm still giggling about your "I don't think I'd even dare put my big toe in this water knowing these guys were swimming around". :) Heehee!
