King Salmon (6.11.13)

The top of the Pacific salmon food chain is the King salmon.  King are so prized that you are allowed to catch only 2-3 per year, depending upon which jurisdiction you are fishing.  So, when Sally dropped anchor just outside a salmon hatchery, we had stars in our eyes.  It seemed to take hours as we spotted different schools, made our casts, and hoped to land at least one of these big fish.  A little patience goes a long way, however, for Harrison and I were each able to take home a trophy destined for the grill.
