Three Big Fish!
Over the summer vacation I helped my dad
commercial fish. I thought this was going to be just another boring
fishing year, although most of the openings were good
ones.
One fishing opening it was really windy and rough
on the river and I thought we weren't going to go out on the water,
but my dad told me to get ready. I really didn't want to go out on
the big killer waves on the river, but I had to because nobody would
help my dad. I got ready and we went down and put our longest net in
the boat. While we were going across to Goose Island I felt as if I
was on a rocking chair, rocking hard enough to make me
nauseous.
Our first drift was fast and the current took us
down the river quicker than normal. When we checked our net most of
the kings were toward the bottom and the beach end of the net. We
didn't catch much our first drift, which was about three-fourths of a
tote. Towards the very end of the opening we had to make the drift
shorter than usual. While we were checking the net my dad jerked
forward and I looked in the water and saw a really huge
silver-colored king. My dad reached over and took the gaff and pulled
in the fish. "Holy cow," were the only words that came out of my
mouth. My dad and I had a hard time taking that and two more huge
kings in. It took us a while to take them out of the net. I wanted to
just stand there and admire the big fish, but we still had a long
ways to go till we emptied the net. When we were finished, though, I
lifted the burlap off the fish and admired the three monstrous
fish.
Since Boreal payed more per pound we delivered to
one of their tender boats right across from Pilot Station. My dad and
I loaded the fish onto the scale but left the three huge kings to be
weighed individually. The biggest turned out to weigh 78 pounds, the
second was 72 pounds and the smallest of the three was 68 pounds!
Three big fish!
When we got back we delivered our chums to the MFP
and came home. When when I took a shower I felt as if I was still in
the boat, swaying back and forth. But I was really glad that I went
with my dad because those three fish were the biggest I'd ever seen
in my life.
