Campbell River, 2023.07.15

At 05:30, we hit the water at high tide and headed to the shore off the south end of Quadra island.

The weather was perfect, the company was outstanding, and I caught both a Chinook and a Coho (which was wild and had to go back). I also had a number of fish get off the hook and had a line break(!) on a huge fish that would easily have been the largest I've caught. I actually prefer mid-sized fish (like the Coho, and also Mackerel) but it was amazing to see.

It was a great day.

A lot of people lose the spirit of childhood. Every child has a lot of imagination and you lose it little by little. I don't know why, but I kept it.
