A first

Been fishing on the Niagara River for a couple of weeks now for king salmon. Many early mornings with no success. Today I finally caught my first one!

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

One hell of a fight too! Between the currents of the Niagara and the strength of these fish it was by far the most challenging fish I have landed
