Salmon Fishing

Every Year all the guys in our family go out fishing, we love deep sea fishing, fly fishing, spear fishing, trolling for trou in the sierria's. Its all good. This summer we kicked it off with a trip out of San Francisco, waking up at 4:15 to get to Emeryville and board the boat before its light, Today we are set out to get our limit. Going past the Golden Gate bridge and up the coast towards Stinson Beach, our captain searches for fish. Once we drop our lines, we troll for the best ocean fish in the world, King Salmon! The tender red meat that is OH so good. After 2 hours i caught 1 of the 4 salmon caught, but the deckhand shouts out "green" which means the endangered Coho salmon, so we release them. Soon after the captain askes if we want to head out to the farralon Islands to catch some Cod, he says we can catch our limit. So we do, and we all catch our limit, we keep following the fish, in water about 100-180 feet deep, we drop our lines to the bottom, as we pull the fish out, their eyes bulge out as they come up to the surface, under no pressure. My brother brings up a cod, and then the prized Lingcod bites onto the smaller fish, and the deck hand shouts out, "hitchiker" which means he has to spear the fish, because it will let go once the smaller hooked fish is out of the water and the net will surly scare him away. All in all, we catch 30 fish between my brother and dad. Heading back to port, with our catch and thoughts of fresh sushi and fillet for dinner.
