This is one of the fish I caught during a week of vacation in October on the Yaquina River. It was caught on one of the many home-made lures my son makes for me. Even though this chinook only weighed 26 pounds, it gave me a really good fight. Pictured with me and my fish, is a friend's 3-year-old granddaughter, Kendra, who decided she wanted to be in EVERY fishing picture we took all week. So here she is with me!
