Show me the pink!
The day after golf we went salmon fishing. Salmon fishing really involves little skill unless you're the boat cap't. We chartered a boat out of Grand Haven, Mi and went out on lake Michigan. Basically we sit around and drink beer while the cap't trolls 11 rods through the water until we hook into one - then you run over, grab a rod, and reel it in.I caught the first one because I happened to be standing closest to the first rod that got a bite. I think it was the biggest fish of the day - some where around 18 pounds I think. Then we went in a rotation - me, Steve, Dad.
We each had a limit of 3. I missed my third one. My dad got all of his on his first try and was 3/3, I ended up 3/4, and my brother 3/5. Those things can take a while to horse in though, and my arms felt like jello when finished. I don't know how those deep sea marlin fisherman do it!
Anyway, if you're interested, you can check out my pictures on my website. Oh, and we ended up with 38 pounds of salmon after it was cut up.

When I read the title, I thought this article was going to be about strippers. Looks like you guys had alot of fun this weekend. Are you guys going to eat all of that fish? I wish I wasn't scared of them because I think it would be sweet to go fishing.
That would be awesome. I have always wanted to go deep sea fishing. Sounds like you all had a blast!
My brother and dad took most of it, I have some. I think they're giving some of it away to friends.
You don't like fish? I am not a huge salmon fan, but I'll eat some.
I should send that picture to PETA.
I don't mind eating fish, its the holding them when they're alive part that creeps me out. I'm a pussy.
