Went fishing on Fathers day with my son,3, and nieghbors kid,11 at a local tailrace. I got a 27lb male and Erin got his first salmon a 23lb hen. It was fairly slow fishing but I'm sure he will never forget it. Spin-n-glows and eggs were the bait of the day. I was setting up another rig when I heard him say "I think I have one on" I looked over to see the 8'6" medium heavy action rod bent over almost double with line peeling out. "think so! Me too!". It took a few minutes but he finally got it to the bank. They were nice and fresh, not even starting to blush yet and were fine eating.
