Back on the old farm again, Tomollia tree farm next to the puyallup river in WA, I thought I would go fishing, or grabbing, for salmon coming up the small feeder creek we had going through the property. I had scouted the creek for a while and found a narrow place, between two rocks, where the salmon pass though. It was a cold and raining day, what else, when I decided to attempt it. Salmon were passing through the narrows and I stood over them and tried to time them. I finally managed to grab the tail end of one but I leaned out a little to far and he pulled me in. Splash I went and got soaking wet from my head to toe, but, I still managed to keep the fish and after I took care of dressing him out a friend offered me a 10 lb deer roast for trade. Not a bad deal if you ask me. Next I will have to try grabbing for catfish, now that should be an interesting sport.
