I caught my first king salmon today

I caught this fish early this morning. It is 25" and was caught on a green and white hoochie in the Puget Sound. Can't wait for dinner!

Looks like a sunny day too. I didn't think the sun shined in seattle.

Yep,we we're in my Brothers 18' Raider. White sides with a Burgundy top.

Your boat says Beluga in Blue letters right?

We got one about 12lbs and lost another nice fish.

You've not only caught your first salmon, you've also caught the FEVER!!!

Congrats, and may you catch many more!

Thanks for sharing.

You're hooked for sure now. Nice fish.

I was fishing Pt. Defiance today and caught a nice 18-20lber. Problem was he was a native and I had to let him go.

First time I've had to do this and I didn't like it. Sure hope the next one is missing an adipose fin--I'm getting hungry.

Yeah it looks like this. Yeah I saw your boat when the baitfish started going crazy at like 10 am when everyone was leaving. All the bait surfaced and we pulled in a huge native fish from like 15 to 20 ft deep on the downriggers. We stuck around until 12:30 or so without any more hits.
