When I go to our place in up state NY I fish the Black River for big channel cats.This pic was taking on my honeymoon yeah I made her go to [8D]
I figure I would get her to go then because it would never happen again anytime soon []
Anyway, I was fishin for catfish that night and I hooked into this nice Chinook salmon on a ultra lite rod with 8 pound test,it took me 45 min to get him near land,when i finely got him there the hook came out of his mouth,there was no WAY he was swimming away!I was so jacked up from the long fight and caffeine I did a belly flop in the water and landed right on top of the king salmon.Needless to say,he was already dead from the long fight.It was the highlight of the night for my wife,not me catching the big fish,but me being soaked to the gills with river slime on my neck and a dead fish in my hands.
True story

That is one tasty fish Rick. So did the belly flop knock it out?[][]

No Rock the long fight killed it,I was a lot lighter then thank you very much
The salmon were heading up stream to breed at that time,he was already beat from all that swimming I made him fight for his life[]

Where did you catch that salmon, Rick? We were at Kinzua Dam on Memorial Day and saw a lot of fish! It was a hot day and they were almost jumping our of the water. I'm not sure what kind they were, but they were BIG! I saw one splashing around right where I was swimming, and a bunch more when we were canoeing. One was so big, we thought from the sound it must be a beaver splashing. Joe knows all the types of fish in there. Does freshwater fish have the same Omega 3's and health benefits as saltwater?

We have a summer Vacay home in Henderson Harbor NY 20 miles out side of Watertown NY the fishing is cr[8D]Zy.
I got married on the lake [8|]
