Chad G. Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Soo lucky to live where I live, still only about 10-15 miles from where I caught this fish on the Columbia. So many things in life are wonderful & you never forget them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Wild columbia River salmon went well over 100 Lbs. before the put in all the hydroelectric dams LINK :: https://timeline.com/there-used-to-be-salmon-as-big-as-golden-retrievers-in-the-columbia-river-but-dams-killed-them-off-20854d1f971e Pictures of a White sturgeon LINK :: https://seahistory.org/sea-history-for-kids/white-sturgeon/ ______________________________________________________________________________________________ We estimated this one @ around 600^ pounds and almost 9 feet long using the boat as our measuring device, 50lb mono w/ a 6 foot 110 pound test squid line and 10 OT hooks, too big to get on the boat. WE were fishing in the Columbia river estuary using fresh sardine for bait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 Yes it is a lingcod. 18 pounder. I caught it when I lived in Morro Bay California. I sure miss the Central Coast🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 I’m glad I tied these when I had young fingers. I need a Fish Fix as well. 🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Here’s what’s really NUTZ. I tied these back in the early ‘80’s. I miss the Midwest line up of fish to be caught. Out here it’s a trout and another trout…on and on. Dream fish? Yes! But I miss the bobber days🔥 RAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bobber, sinking fly line or w/ a corky lead to keep it off the bottom a little bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 I just wanna catch any type of fish I can with my Granddaughter. I super glue my swizzles on and can then change lures when I want to. So in a nutshell. All the knots I use to be able to tie are now replaced by Krazy Glue. Are any of you guys to that point when you go fishing🔥 RAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
