Leaving Metlakatla bright and early heading to the Work Channel the sunrise shots here are amazing due to the smoke.

The famous Indian Head Rock at the mouth of the Work Channel.

Kalum's first ratfish the sunlight and camera got the picture just right making it rather cool top look at.

I did have a great picture of the Fisheries officers in the RIB videoing a humpback with it's tail up but mistakenly deleted it.

I think this one @chris73 took is my favourite this year. Barkley Sound.

We caught a 30 lb ling at Malcolm Island - with a 3 lb spring in its mouth. The spring was caught on our lure. Grabbed the ling and released the spring.

That’s a great pic!

Agree. The light reflection on the rod makes it epic.

These pics are all amazing!!!

I’ll bite. Just like my first ever Hali did:

It’s what you don’t see in this picture, my sons grin. He reeled it up from 150 feet. I have a picture with my dad and a beautiful spring when I was six too. We don’t post the kids online or social media but happy to show you all in person at the dock. I’m more proud of this chicken more than any fish I’ve ever caught.

Agreed that pretty much all the featured pics are great but there’s something about this particular one that makes you feel like you’re in there with them.

Although not big, we had amazing action and these kids were like pigs in s”it at the action one evening in Renfrew.





And how about your kids suggesting and helping cook up the days catch?

And then capping it all off…

Realize I didn't take enough photos of actual fishing shots this year! First time fishing and catching pinks for these friend's kids off Sooke.
The last shot is Johnstone Strait pretending to be a lake.
