Nice fish. I caught King's out of Lake Michigan in the middle 70's and a little later with my little 14 foot boat. Only mine were about half the size of that one. It was still fun. I did a little story on Mike's site about my salmon fishing. And like I stated there, one year I kept a talley and 75% of the time when I went out I caught fish. To do that however there was a lot of little technical details that had to be done to better insure success. It worked.
But now I am a little older and actually hope to go fishing tomorrow for the first time this year. Worked about 6 hours today on fishing equipment and the boat. When a boat sets for a year it sure gets run down in a hurry. I guess we must use it more often. Too much electronics and electrical gear. A simple jon boat would make it easier I am sure.
