Finally!!!!!

So Sam and I went out again last night, we stopped at the same spot on the Ganaraska. We pulled up and down to the river we went, but nothing, one fish passed by us in 5 minutes. So we figured it was gonna be a quiet night, hopefully not though. We pulled further down river into Port Hope and stopped on the bridge. We got out to check it out and noticed that everyone down at the river was pulling in a fish. We decided to start there and work our way down river, we never left the first spot. The fish were running past us like Godzilla was chasing them up stream, I mean there were literally fish splashing me as they were going past. So Sam the "Salmonman" drops his line in and yep catches one, lets it go, drops his line, got another, releases it. I mean c'mon man, bloody hell, I feel like Daniel LaRusso being shown the ropes by Mr. Miyagi, "Fish On, Fish Off, now you try."


So I get one on, fight for a minute and I lose it, get another one on and wouldn't you know, I Finally land my first Salmon, its not a huge one but good enough for me. I can finally say I've caught a salmon; it weighed in at a whopping 11lbs. But the next two were just a little bit bigger, the second one was closer to 30lbs not lying Sam can vouch, and the Third was around 20 - 25lbs. probably some of the most fun yet was the fact that Sam was pulled in the river by one of his many catches last night. So were sitting there he gets one on, wrestles with it for about 5 minutes, the thing run right up on the rock ledge, I put my rod down to go and get the net. As I do Sam figures hell, it’s at my feet I'm just gonna grab its tail. So he's still holding his rod in his right hand and reaches down and grabs its tail with his left hand. I look over just in time to see the fish wiggle and Sam go feet first into the river, I couldn’t stop laughing, but not once does he let go of his rod. Keeps the tip up and the fish on, hilarity at its best, and history is the rest.
