A salmon pic for you

Here's my fish I caught yesterday during the Sitka Salmon Derby. I think I might be in the top 10, but I didn't hear the final results.
This guy weighed about 35-36lbs when we got him on board, but we didn't turn him in for a while so my "official" weight was 33.6. Not exactly a monster, but a decent fish for this time of year. :)

That is a nice looking fish!

Mmm.. salmon. Truly the food of the gods. How do you like yours done? I'm partial to pan-seared and blackened.

Looks like you had to punch him a couple of times.

I knew there was something fishy about you but I didn't think you had blood on your hands.:D

Congratulations, how long is it?

That's a rather personal question. /python

Ewww.....

Anyway, I just went back and looked at my pics and it was just over 40 inches long.

Pervs!

Hey - awards ceremony this evening - I walked away with $250 cash! I was in 13th place.

How many salmon fillets did that baby turn into?

Congratulations! That $250 will help defray the cost of shipping the fish to UT's wedding reception. ;)

Salmon chanted evening
You may see a stranger
You may see a stranger
across a crowded room
And somehow you know,
You know even then
That somewhere you'll see her
Again and again.

We don't get to keep the fish - the Sportsman's Association gets them.

But regardless..... every salmon has the same amount of fillets. Two. One on each side. :)

STEAKS! I think he meant steaks. Griff knows more about goats than salmon, inland, y'know, but he's a swell guy.

:) I actually typed steaks erased it and put in fillets after looking at the label of the store bought salmon in the fridge. I will update my vocab to meet standards. $7.99 a pound?!!! We both got ripped off Seakdiver!

Fillets is acceptable, if that's the way it's cut, V.

How big was the winner? :confused:

Salmon, chartered dinghy,
You may see a stringer,
You may see a stringer,
Across a chowdered room.
And salmon, you know,
You know, reel them in!
That salmon, you'll see her
Again and again.

This reminds me of 'Wet Dream', by Kip Adotta.

It was April the forty-first
Being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis
My barracuda was in the shop
So I was in a rented stingray
And it was overheating

So I pulled into a Shell Station
They said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing
And leave my private life out of it
Okay pal?"

While they were doing that
I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar, a real dive
But I knew the owner
He used to play for the Dolphins
I said "Hi Gil"
You have to yell, he's hard of herring

The quote is incomplete, you can go to the link for the rest.

55lbs. Not bad. My mom won a couple of years ago with a 47 pounder. The biggest one to win was 73lbs.

$7.99/ lb is what you would pay for farmed fish. Fresh kings up here are going for $17-18/ lb.
Christ - I gave away a $600 fish! :) Happy to do it though.
