drove up to the creek this morning hoping to get a chum for some smoked salmon dishes on turkey day (it's a tradition to use chum, not sure how it started lol). saw tons of fish milling around today, plenty of people too. I caught and released around 10 fish or so and had a fair amount of quick releases. my 21month old daughter reeled in her first chum today. after finally hooking up with a fish that was determined wear me out, I figured it was a smaller fish. so I got situated so I could handle the rod and she could crank away. well after a couple cranks it turned out to be a pretty good sized fish. it was tough getting it to the net but she was having a blast cranking on the reel. it was a decent looking fish so I bonked and bled it. took me awhile to get another good fish and called it day.
