I’m counting the days until next Wednesday. My spoiled brat kids are going on a Mexico cruise with their mom next week so I decided it was my window of opportunity to head to Portland, Oregon to catch the Columbia River spring Chinook salmon run!!! A long weekend of relaxation on the river hopefully interrupted frequently by fast and furious fishing action. Now mind you the on the past couple of trips the action was far from fast and furious. More like slow and painful. However, it’s very difficult to complain about a weekend on the river.
While the last couple of trips we haven’t exactly harvested the fish, we have over the years caught our share. So I’m in the mood to see some fish pictures to properly focus my positive energy into catching copious amounts of Chinook next week.
Unfortunately Jake was the only one that caught a fish the entire weekend. :)
One of our best days ever at Courtright!
The Holy Grail of Salmon. The Spring Chinook!!
Brie doing her best Vanna White imitation on a sturgeon that is about to go back in the river for a little more seasoning.
Okay….so it’s not a fish but we still caught it.
I don’t recall catching anything that day but it’s a cute pic nonetheless.
Annette and her first big catch though not her best catch. That would be me.
This picture just makes me sad. Brie is a munchkin!
Even Mojo the Monkey has gotten in on some of the action.
I just wanted to post this because it reminds me of when I was skinny.
Hopefully we will be adding to the stockpile. This is not all the fish of course. With all the really big fish we were too excited to get the camera out until it was too late. :) Anyone buying that one?
