The last couple days here have tested me, and today was a great day to have off. I now live in a wall tent and might have to for the rest of the summer...time will tell I guess. I went fishing today with Cullen and Tom and we had a great day of fishing for kings. We each landed and kept a king salmon and also lost many more. I had the bonus fish of a much smaller sockeye which will taste very good over a fire! The king I caught today was the toughest battle I have ever had with a fish! It was about a 30 pounder and was fresh out of the ocean in the river with lots of power. It gave me a great battle and now I am going to butterfly the fillets. Even for there size,king salmon taste great and look great on a plate. Fishing will only get better and I cant wait! Ive been told about the crazy runs of sockeye and silver runs that will begin in the upcoming month. If it is what it should be it should be a great time of fishin. I have to pull some crazy hours this week, and then I get my first two days off in a row. I hope to get out to bear camp to see the bears, or maybe a little halibut fishing. It depends on open seats and what our clients are doing.

Glad you are having fun, other than the tent thing. I don't suppose you can ship fish home???
