I wish they were in our creeks

clik to enlarge ...the white underside of the fish is photo shopped...one googly eyed guy huh....the fish

A few days ago a coffee friend of mine ..... a man of rankness in our Flat Earth Society called me to come over to his home to see some fish that he and his son had caught on a trip to Prince Rupert....They took a guided boat for a few days and he had only been home 12 hours when he called....... I grabbed my camera and headed over the few blocks to Jim's place.... this is a picture that I took of him holding about a 40 lb Halibut. Jim generously gave me a couple of feeds of Halibut fillets and I gotta tell ya that is the best fish I have ever tasted.....man, I wish they were in our creeks....They caught what they are allowed which included some nice Coho and Chinook salmon......a couple of steaks off a 32 pounder were also gratefully received.....He drove to Kelowna ...joined his son....they drove to PR went out on the boat for 3 nights then back to Kelowna and home....hit the sack....then up in the morning cause these critters gotta be dealt with....it is Hot...like 33 degrees.....yep they are on ice but they gotta be hacked and packed......I want to let him know how much we appreciate the gesture.......that is about 2000 km ....the guy is what...77 years old...wow that's pretty cool......
