Default 1st Class Fishing

Yesterday I had the pleasure of fishing with Pro Guide David Johnson. It was definitely an "Escape To The Exceptional. Dave did a great job of finding the fish for us as we managed 13 keepers to the boat out of 17 opportunities. (5 Chinook and 8 Steelhead). As you can see from the pictures, none of the fish were very bright.
He also managed to dispell the banana myth, as we had two of the yellow critters on board. :grin:

Dave is a great guide and all around great guy and I would not hesitate to fish with him again.



Oh, I almost forgot. We had three double headers. Got all but 1 fish in the boat. The chinook double we had was almost a triple cause I was getting hit while the other two were setting the hook. I thought about it for a second and decided to yank my bait away from the fish. In the water we were fishing a triple would have been real ugly. :tongue:

Cool trip. Sounds like you kept busy. Keep fighting to eradicate the banana superstition.

That mean ole Dave Johnson, making is clients suffer with his subtle lactic acid building up in the arms from fighting fish torture. How can we just stand by and let this abuse go on?

:grin:
