Here’s a couple of pics from many years ago of @Greasy B kicking my butt on the Salt River

Salt river? Green water?   

Where'd y'all used to put in at?

Indian something or other, it’s the ramp just east of Hwy 40/61 just past the New London exit.

We're so proud of the ol'man.   Look at his wasted @$$ with a Ruger pistol on his hip.   Naughty Naughty 

 

Old pics are so fun. 😂

Dad and Papaw, doing what they did best. 

Look at the GUNS on that basturd!  Consider yourself lucky that you didn't have THAT keeping you in line as a kid.

(next several pictures) Mid- to late- 1990's.  A Lake Michigan tributary in WI.

Big Brook Trout:

Steelhead:

Chinook (King) Salmon:

I hooked one of these on an egg-sucking leech pattern in a small pool above a broken lowhead dam.  It charged downstream over the dam, and just kept going, through some logs, sticks, around a creek corner, etc.  I chased it downstream, slipping on algae-covered riprap and rocks, dunking my rod & reel under the logs and sticks to get to the other side...I was scraped up and bloodied, but finally caught up to the fish and landed it.  I returned to the pool.  Next cast, another salmon did the exact same thing...went over the dam...I was worn out.  I decided not to chase the fish, and just gave it a bunch of slack line.  Wouldn't you know?  The fish turned around and swam right back up into the pool, and I landed it without all the drama!

~1996.  Fishing near a creek mouth along the shore of Lake Michigan.  27.5" Brown Trout. 7.5 lbs.
