# of People in our party: 10


Dates 9/2/10-9/5/10


Target Species: Halibut, Salmon, and lingcod




Well, the big butts did not want to come out to play this season, but we managed to get a few nice ones this year. Carlton Jones landed a 100 lber on day one of fishing, while the highliner for day 3 was captain Pauls boat with three nice halibut up to 60 lbs...




this monster ling cod had to be released because it was too large for the slot limit, and at 53 in. was too smalled to be called a trophy fish of 55".


This Yellow eye rockfish weighed in at a hefty 18 lbs


The accomodations at kingfisher were first rate!




me and Capt. Brian with another huge lingcod





this King salmon took up the whole box






this King salmon weighed in at 38 + lbs, which earned me the biggest salmon prize!







They can't all be monsters, right?








Just goofing around, while shopping in town! LOL








Day One's weather was beautiful at 60 dgrees, and it rained overnight so we were greeted in the morning by a rainbow!!!











The Gang: Carlton Jones, Jackie Appell, Pat Worthy, Ray, me, Kathy Walker, Doug, Jay, and roger (not shown... Mo)



All in all, we came back with plenty of fish, memories, and friendship. We also caught lots of black bass, and assorted rockfish, as well as our targeted species. I am already planning on returning next year. Kudos and many thank yous to the Kingfisher staff, and Captains Brian, and Paul who I fished with while at Kingfisher.
