So, where were you fishing? I have been fishing the Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan. Plan on getting out on Monday again - Kewaunee and/or Algoma area.

Is that a Defiance cigar hat? I got one in the mail just the other day.

Day two was even better. Handed off my stick twice to a seven year old boy who'd never caught one before. Too much fun. I finesse fish them, so I use only 4 or 6 lb test. This kid's first fish took 35 minutes to land!!! What a trip!

This is the picture of the fish on the wagon at the fish cleaning facility.

Genesee River in Rochester, NY- base of the lower falls (Seth Green side). Looks like you are doing well; I'd be there every day except I'm not sure how Mrs. Tikihut would react to my spending my entire leave catching salmon. (Actually, I think I know EXACTLY how she'd react- :-))

You betcha.
