Mathew's Big Fish Day!

9/10/2014

The one good thing about having a longer summer holiday than planned is that Mathew got to spend more time Grandparents "Papa John and Grandma B" as he calls them.  So with this opportunity in hand, it was time to show Papa John how good he was at fishing and plans were made, the gear was loaded and we headed out for some "Fishin Time".  

En route Mathew explained the finer techniques of how to land a pike and we talked about how it might be fishing for salmon.  After that the topic wandered over to sturgeon fishing.  Mathew was very interested in knowing what size sturgeon he could catch and whether he could handle one over six feet in length?  We discussed the pro's and con's of various techniques of handling such a large fish and whether he could barefoot waterski behind one.

Once we got the boat over to the fishin spot, we got to the serious business of catching sockeye.  With a four fish limit between him and Papa John, there was a lot of work to do.

After hooking the first fish a herculean battle ensued with Mathew and Papa John engaging in a team effort to fight the feisty fish!  Mathew determined that it would hurt his stomach if he held the rod with the fish bucking at the end of the line so he explained to Papa John that he should do the easy job of holding the rod while Mathew did the hard job of cranking the reel and fighting the fish.  Papa John seemed to catch on eventually and the team effort paid off with landing a really nice Sockeye.

Now that Mathew had explained the finer elements of how to catch Sockeye to Papa John, it was time to catch more fish and after three more epic battles Mathew was pretty pleased with the results.  (Even if Papa John looked a little tired after all that hard work! ) Way to go Mathew, could a six foot sturgeon be far behind?.......Not if a good fisherman like Mathew has anything to say about it!

Tight lines!
