It's a tough Life eh, but ain't it great.
 

Hi everyone, I haven't had time to finish my Cross Canada Pics yet because we have been so busy since we returned.

I will complete the Cross Country Tour Pics if I have time before we go on our 3 week vacation in a couple of weeks.

When we got home from our Cross Country Trip I had 2 weeks to get our boat out of storage and get it ready to fish the 16 day Salmon Derby that Karen and I enter every year.

Well we didn't get the biggest fish but we did okay, we caught some nice Rainbow Trout, Lakers and Chinook Salmon. Karen reeled in our biggest fish, it was a 15 lb Salmon, it got us in the top 25 biggest fish. It placed 13th from the top. It got us about $1,000 worth of prizes. There were almost 1,200 entrants in the Derby. Karen was certainly happy with her winnings.

Here are some pics:

She's obviously a winner Wayne. It's a nice fish too. Seems to me Karen habitually reels in the prizes. How long ago was it that she landed you, or was it the other way around?
Congratulations Karen :JAMIN:

LOL thanks Sam, and yes she is a keeper, I was very lucky to find a partner that likes all the things I do.

and Karen said thanks.

Hope your injuries are improving after that accident Sam.

Way to go Karen! Congrats to the both of you. Looks like a fun time.

I hope all is well with the both of you and hope to see you guys soon.

Take care!

It must be great to get back on the water Wayne.

Congrats Karen, nice to see your reputation is still intact.
After all that time away, it didn't take long to get back in the groove. :biggthumpup:

Great pics Wayne. Pass along my congrats to Karen, that is one heckuva Salmon!! I'm guessing you've got that sucker in the smoker by now. ;)

Thanks everyone and Shane we ate some of that salmon the day we caught it and it was delicious. We always try to eat some of the fresh fish on the day we catch it.

I can feel your pride and energy all the way here! :)
