Humpies and Chums (the other salmon)

Here's a couple humpy or pink salmon shots, and a chum or dog salmon that my boys caught from shore in the sound. After dozens of fish, the boys were whooped! Both species are highly aggressive and easy for youngens to catch, (and adults!) Pixies and corkies work like a champ for multiple hookups. These fish are making their annual spawning run to a local river.

Great pics barleydog!!! Chums and pinks are very underated fighters and table fare. In fact i have always believed chrome chums ocean chums are pound for pound harder fighters than kings, silvers,reds or pinks.

Thanks fellas! Your right Big Red. Lucky that my kids like to fish! Don't know what I'd do if they didn't
KC, Those chums are pretty dang good fighters, and jumping WHEW! Fun stuff, but bring on the SILVERS baby! Next week for 5 days I'll be in heaven fishing a hot silver run.
How's the run on Kodiak this year?

Looks like a great time Barleydog! The boys look like they're gonna bust! Someday I hope to be able to get up that way for some fishing, I can't even imagine how good it must be!

AKDreams, It was still early in the season, so we put a couple dime brite hens in the cooler. Fresh pink females are pretty good on the grill. My neighbor likes them smoked, so I kept some in exchange for fresh caribou steaks, (which is a great deal this time of the year!) We usually catch enough silvers and reds to hold us over the winter, so humpies and dogs are just for fun.
