Several of us codgers got out on the last day of Chinook salmon season in our area.  One of them with a king a smidge under 18 lbs. 

Hope I can get out for Coho but not sure. I'd love to take a fly rod and find a school of Coho on the surface.

That is an absolute beaut!
I've probably mentioned this a million times before, but I used to live In Racine, WI. right on the shores of Lake Michigan.
They held (and still do) an event called Salmon a Rama, every year.
I cant even begin to describe how much I hated fishing for those things. I hated the water, I hated the people, I hated the crowd, I hated the drunks, I hated the equipment.
But I love eating them. Actually Salmon, CoHo, Lake Trout are some of may favorites foods of all. I'd rather have those types of lake fish over anything, including... I dont know...birthday cake. lol
Now make that make sense. :confused:  :shrug:

If thats the last one of the season. I'd say you guys wrapped her up with a bang. THAT is a nice one :congrats:  :highclap:
