Speaking of fish ... we were as I recall? This morning at 6:00, I was standing on the Mukilteo beach watching the Humpies (that's a brand of salmon folks) jumping 20 feet in front of me. I hooked and lost two. Then 40 feet in front of me, rose a huge 300 pound sea lion, with a salmon in his mouth. I yelled at him and he gave me the flipper. Oh well ... maybe tomorrow morning will be better! bob (deckman)nelson
