A couple of decent ocean chinook, caught targeting coho a couple of years ago. No long arming.

Thanks! How far offshore were you when you caught those big Ling? I caught one in the Monterey Bay that big once, looked incredible coming up under my kayak.

Yeah I caught that bsb at a spot I fish for halibut that has a whole bunch of white sharks during the summer. This pic was taken the same day I caught that BSB. I’m up front and two of my brothers were behind me, we see a lot of juvenile whites, 6-10’ and they take off when you paddle up to them, this ~15’ Great White didn’t care at all when we got close, I ended up about 6’ away checking it out.

You guys on a Delta? Looks like a Delta deck and bait station. It’s funny that the best REALLY big lingcod bait is another ling… I would say 4 of the 5 biggest ling every year come up eating another ling. Looks like that one was pretty committed!

Yes. I have a 43' Delta.

You have good taste Delta was really ahead of their time. I have worked on 43’s a lot, and 50’s the past 7-8yrs. Both are Pretty much the perfect Oregon charter boats… great boats and they are great looking boats

An absolute beast of a rough eye rockfish we got yesterday while halibut fishing in 850fow

What a giant, that's awesome! Electric reels at that depth hopefully?

Quick little 2.5 hour limit. Put 30 in the freezer this weekend between two guys in two short mornings of fishing.

From what I know, we are the only charter boat with a full set of electric reels, but before this year I was cranking a lot of lead for people… love the aspect of being able to target fish even in 145 fathoms, hand crank reels it’s just not conducive to target fish those depths

You're probably pretty happy with electric reel upgrades every time you need to check bait or reel up to start a new drift. 800'+ is a long way down! I bet it makes it easier to fish some different water then everyone else too. Good job on the fish!

Great work on some good eats! Your pic brings back some awesome memories from 30'ish years ago for me, living in Anchorage with my aunt and uncle for the summer.

Those are Kenai fish. First run. The second run are typically larger so looking forward to round 2 in late July.

A 2 man limit of SD walleyes soon to be ready for the frying pan.
