That's my son Riverpup with that fish. But for the first several days they were all that size give or take maybe a pound. Later they varied just a bit more with 80% that size but a few larger and a few smaller ones in the mix. I've actually caught silvers as well as been embarrassed repeatedly by silvers quite a bit bigger than that on previous trips.
WH2 there are days on that island fishing I've seen more bears than humans. There all well fed black bears so nothing anyone worries about other than a group of dogs will run them off occasionally. Rumor I've heard from several over the years that there a a very few grizzles and black/grizz mixes now. Supposedly swam to the island after a few Roosevelt Elk swam over. If there are any they're outnumber a thousand to one by black bears. The black bear hunts are pretty popular in the spring and fall.
