St Ignace 9/22

In a combined effort I hooked a 20 pound hen (see first fish article) and a 8 pound male this am. Shortly after setting the hook on both fish I gave the pole to a young guy I had just met who had just returned from his second tour of duty in Iraq. He got to do battle of another sort and landed both fish. It just happened to be the first and second salmon that he had caught. Welcome home Chris and we all thank you for serving our country. I gave him both fish to keep too.

Of all of the fish that I caught and did'nt catch this summer being able to watch Chris catch those two salmon was one of the more fun moments. It is because men and women like Chris make great sacrifices to serve our country that we even have the opportunity to hunt and fish like we do. He got to catch and keep two nice salmon and he was happy. There will be another day for me to catch a salmon, thanks to all of the people in our military. I went home empty handed but not without a memory and a smile
