This morning Hubby went down and along with 18 sockeye he found a spring salmon caught in the net. They are huge compared to what we usually pull in. The net we've been using has large netting so we have been getting pretty big sockeye but look at the difference in the picture. Average size is the top fish, big sockeye is the middle, and the spring is on the bottom.
My brother is here for the long weekend and here's a picture of him holding up the spring. It probably weighs in at around 15 pounds.
The other night we caught another sturgeon in the net, this one was a bit bigger than the one we had the other day. But, yet again, I didn't have my camera! I really should get a picture because they are the ugliest things I've ever seen. It almost looks prehistoric, yuck. We let it go and it hung around the shore for a bit regaining it's strength and away it swam.
Well I'm off to Kamloops on Wednesday! This time it's to see RANDY TRAVIS!!! I have two tickets for the FRONT row, CENTER seats! I am sooo excited! Can ya tell?

BIG FISH! Liam was most impressed and not a little bit jealous!
I keep getting prompted to log into my twitter account. Any idea why?
It looks like the fishing is good. The spring looks huge.
Oooh that's a nice one!
mm mm smoked salmon I can almost smell it....AB
Oh yummy. I love smoked salmon. Do you use curing salts with that or do you just smoke it once cleaned? After making your sausage and smoking it, I will be trying some smoked chicken. We have had it done elsewhere, but it is expensive and I have chickens in the freezer yet and will be getting more in a month so thought I would do some up. If it works well, I will do a turkey or more. My FIL used to be a butcher and he tasted the sausage this weekend and thought it was awesome. He is going to give me a book of recipes. I don't know how much I will do, but I suppose in my spare time, I can do a bunch (bwahhahhaaa--spare time).
The salmon is something we miss living here in Alberta. I need to make a trip to BC for fishing. Maybe in my spare time;-).
