Here's a shot right after she hooked it. The fight had just started and she still had plenty of pep. Note the black Lab watching what was going on. "Molly" goes along on every one of the guide's fishing trips.


At this point, she had fought it for about 10 minutes and kept asking us to give her a hand. The guide and I both told her it was her fish to land and that she would have to do it alone.


Here's the face of one VERY tired, but very happy lady. That smile hasn't left her face since she landed it.


We had her mom, son and his wife over for salmon dinner tonight. Mark, it wasn't cooked on the plank, but it was cooked on the grill. I think my recipe is better and it doesn't take as long. It was VERY good.

Great catch. Congratulations

Great picture, GFC. Glad you had a good time. Next time I hire Bruce it will be for Kings or Steelhead. He sure tied us in to a lot of Sturgeon last time.
