Since everyone was wondering if I really have caught salmon before due to my last post on Bryan Clay’s salmon trip. Here is proof. The salmon was caught, weighed and released into the river after the photo shot. Not out of the water for more than 2 mins. I try to be pretty efficient and keep their survival rates up so that they can complete their journey and breed upriver.

I’ve been an avid salmon and steelheader for over 10 years now! Wow! I hadn’t realized I’ve been doing it for that long! Thanks!

I got a tweet from @BullsandBeavers blog regarding the National Geographic Series on fishing for monster fish called Hooked. I had watched the series back in 2008 and I believe a DVD is already out. You have to see this series if you’re into BIG fish!! “Hooked” Monsters of the Deep…. http://bit.ly/UdbA6

Bryan Clay, Hawai’i’s Olympic Gold Medalist (decathlon), recently posted Twitter/Facebook updates regarding his salmon fishing trip to British Columbia, Canada. I was excited! Because, aside from my saltwater fishing endeavors, I’m a diehard salmon and steelhead fisherman too!! I’ve flyfished for them with either a fly rod or spey rod on both the east and west coasts.

Bryan caught some really good size salmon and boy! was his timing great. Timing the run for these anadromous fish is a science in itself and it’s awesome when you’re on the river at the right time. Endless fishing as Bryan will attest! I’m elated, not because, he’s a famous Olympian, but there aren’t too much island boys (except those on the mainland) that have fished for salmon/steelhead and experienced fishing for them first-hand.

Check out his Twitter or Facebook pages for more details.

Wow! I’m jealous, next time you need to take me Bryan!!
