Todd got a fishing boat last year so that he would be able to fish for salmon in Elliott Bay and also use it to go crabbing. Todd and Gramps (Todd's grandfather) set it up with downriggers and got lots of new fishing equipment needed for salmon fishing. They went out a LOT last summer and never caught a thing, not even a bite. Todd was determined to finally catch one this year. After work he would stop by the boat launch to ask the fish counter if many had been caught to see if the salmon were running yet. On Friday, August 1st he found out that 40 had been caught so he decided that he would go out early the following morning. Unfortunately, Gramps had just hurt his back so he wasn't able to go out this time.
Todd woke at 3am Saturday morning and after only an hour of trolling he caught the BIG ONE!!!
A 34 in., 18 lb. King salmon!
The proud fisherman!
The fish was almost as big as Bryson!
Needless to say Todd was pretty happy and the salmon tasted delicious!
