A friend of mine took Dave Bayer and I fishing on Lake Michigan today. It was fun, but I still have this feeling that I am still on the lake. We fished in 4 foot swells. That does not sound like much until you get into a 22 foot boat and you're bouncing all over. We each caught one fish. We also had 3 get off the line. Oh well. It was fun anyway. We listened to the ship to shore radio and heard a distress call to the coast guard and it was close by. At that time the coast guard boat was next to us. He took off and a little later the chopper came. It was nothing too serious. A 40 ft sail boat had smoke filling the cabin. No fire, just smoke. They had to be towed in and fixed.
The rotors quit working on the chopper, but amazingly it kept right on going.

The Salmon I caught. Approximately 20lbs. Good size one as I compared it to the others on shore at the cleaning station. It took 10-15 minutes to bring it in. He fought the entire time. So did I. I was more exhausted than the fish I think.
