How is it that we as humans somewhere along the line decided that spending 40+ hours a week in front of a computer screen in a cubicle under fluorescent lights was such a good idea?? I’m just saying…

You know me…I’m always a sucker for a good kid fishing pic! So, it was impossible for me not to post this photo of super cute Alexandra Martin, 7, of Brookings, OR, and her first-ever king salmon, a 15-pounder. Alexandra caught the fish Sept. 18 on the Coquille River on the Oregon Coast while fishing with her father, guide Andy Martin of Wild Rivers Fishing.
And that, my friends, is how you get yourself a fishing buddy for life! Good job Alex & Andy!

Anticipation runs high!
Right when it suddenly gets a little colder just before dawn, when there’s just the hint of dawn over the over the distant hills and the water is a mirror…that’s when I feel most alive.

I took this photo a couple weeks back and just thought it was kinda interesting. As Big Fred was attempting to land this colored-up buck, I swooped in for a ground-level shot and, other than the water that got splashed on the lens, I like the different perspective it presents…more fun than the classic grip-n-grin anyway!
Okay, so in the interest of full disclosure here, the headline is a bit melodramatic: Since the fish was released seconds later, it probably wasn’t his final jump, but it just kinda sounded cool…

It just doesn’t get any better than the feeling you get when set up on a bite, feel the resistance and then get to shout out that most blissful of declarations: FISH ON!!

With the 2009 season being my last one as a full-time guide (It’s time to move on to the next big adventure), I thought it would be fun to take a look back and see just exactly what the heck I was doing some of those years. So, if sifting through a bunch of photos of a much younger me holding a lot of fish we don’t currently have doesn’t get too depressing, I’d do a few flashbacks throughout 2009. Check out the STORM Lures shirt in the pic above…that’s dating myself a bit!
So anyway, in no particular order, let’s turn the clock back to 2001…
