Success.......Finally!

Nick and Angie were fishing all day. They decided not to go to Sheep Creek (as it is an hour away) but instead to the Tail Race. They would fish there until high tide, when they would drive over to Ship Creek to fish the tide. After fishing for a couple hours at the Tail Race, there was no luck...no fish. Nick has been fishing often and other than the charter, hasn't caught anything. He was very discouraged.

Then they went to Ship Creek, and were just about ready to pack up and leave (since dinner was in the oven) when Nick snagged a WHOPPER. He fought for a long time, getting very fatigued, until the people fishing next to him grabbed a net to bring it in, he landed a 40 pounder! He is very excited.
Joey wanted to see the fish, but once he did, he was scared of it. He would hardly get close enough for us to get a picture. The fish is bigger than Joey.
Here it is....a native Alaskan King Salmon.
