First time guest Dave Delibac (wdnr forum) on the boat today. 9 am start and off at 3:30 pm. One nice 22" shootout salmon capped off a 10/15 salmon effort today. Lots of 17" fat salmon! 10 DNA clips for the USFW ongoing study. We were the only boat on the calm sunny water today 42F air / 48F water.

Video of the 22" and DNA samples:

Your welcome Jason! Great to help out the USFW with some good data (information) on the DNA samples! It's been our focus the last 3 years to help the research studies!
