Talk about a blood bath! Nice job Brian!

Ahoy Captain Chris, This is a cool video with some doubles. Now with your video as a proof, my family have finally believed me about my "stories" being on the water and catching some fins. As always thank you for the great time on your boat. Safe fishing to all. Anthony

Count your blessing Brian! I am glad nobody got hurt and you did not lose a thing due to faulty breaker.

I m looking to add them to my collection of stick baits. In case you got several storm thundersticks or Jr Thundersticks laying around, please let me know. You may send me PM. Also, photos will be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

Great work Tom with landing six fish solo! That picture of beaten up steelie makes my stomach cringe.

Thanks fellas. Maybe, it was my secret plan to send everybody over to the west side while leaving the east free of any fishermen! We should all know this by now: the NW winds make most of the fish stay on the west side.

Great job on the big king. I am sure I saw your boat yesterday. Very beautiful rig with two tall outriggers. At least you were in the right spot - NW of Rochester. Thanks for the excellent report. Tight lines.

We had a good day of fishing on Memorial Day with 4 for 7 score including a Small king, coho, laker and steelhead. We started out a bit late at 6 a.m. and headed out in front of I-Bay with the following set up: Set up trolling with 2 riggers - spin doc and hammer fly on 90' and spoons (NK Carmel Dolphin and Stinger) with cheater on 60' Wire with paddle and fly out 240' 2 stick baits flat lining off the otter board' We started trolling in front of Ibay 80' FOW and there was no action on the screen as we trolled all the way west. The rods did not move for about 2 hours. The surface temp was cold at 49 degrees and it warmed up as we headed toward west. It was 51 degrees on the surface and that was when the best screen action started as this is just west of Russell in 110 and 130' FOW. North of us, there were about 5 big boats sweeping the area. While I dont fish in the pack, I could see where the action is with flurry of charter boats trolling around in one location. The NW chop has quieted down after around 11 a.m. The highlight was when we had a triple hook up with my buddy fighting two fish on his pole. A Laker took the fixed spoon and the coho took the spoon off the cheater set up. The third fish was peeling off with the spin doc fly set up in its jaw. The screamer took off and I came up empty. Three hits on the wire diver set up. Lost 2. The stick baits did not take any fish. If I had to do it again, I would just go straight to Russel area and start fishing there. There is nothing like a grilled steel head for the Memorial Day BBQ!. Tight lines.

Talk about a full redemption after a day of getting skunked! You should know how easy target I am and you can blame it all on me!

Looks like you re off to a great start! Like your new avatar! Best of luck fishing in 2013!
