We as a group hooked 4 landed 1, and released 2 at a distance

Sounds like great fun.

Have to ask though, "released at a distance"? ;)


Fisherman's talk for "he got away" Also referred to as "breaking him off" -
it's supposed to sound like he did it on purpose because the fish wasn't worth
playing.

But sounds like a great time! I'm jealous: Haven't caught a salmon up here in
over 10 years. AND, really wanted to take Far Cove out to break in the new
engine, but gale-force westerlies on Sat, followed by gale-force easterlies on
Sun, along with a "heavy rain warning" = good day to stay inside by the fire and
cuddle with the Lady.

Did get the tarp off the Tin Boat and got the engine started coff! coff!.
Started saving for a 4-stroke...

We have to use barbless hooks for salmon. So the salmon win the battle at
times. If you release the fish before you get it to the boat, is an LDR .
.. . Long Distance Release. If you get it to the boat and is undersize or a
silver salmon or Steelhead you reach down and release the fish without
netting and is called shook the fish.

I use barbless hooks also - only on my boat, we call those LDRs,

Yeah - note the difference: "The fish got away" vs "you release the fish". As
Tom said, I have "other" words for when the fish "released long distance" ...

My words are normally "Damn, he won". I hooked an aproximate 45#+ salmon in
the early 90's on a Rattletrap and 6# test line. Was fishing for 4# striped
bass. Salmon hit, and I fought for 2 hr 10 min before the line gave up.
Had the fish to the boat 3 times and told my partner to net it, and he
informed me that it was not ready to net. Still the biggest salmon I ever
hooked and I give credit to that fish for not giving up. Biggest landed is
38#.
Coming up to Lloyds area next spring for some fishing, I will post how I
caught them Lloyd.

Hey, drop in, say hi! I'll show you my Shiny New engine. And if you're up for
catching "little" fish (ie 5 lb rainbow), I can show you a few lakes where you
can chuck a fly...

We bring along Gould, and we can fly a chuck.
