There are some achievements which are never done in the presence of those who hear of them. Catching salmon is one, and working all night is another.

Oh. Nice fish...Wish i could fish that river more. But i can't fish anywhere till the 16th...Waiting to fish a river that's already pretty stacked with fish in some places, is never fun.
