The lingcod that did not get away. I'm the one on the right. We caught the Fish from a small punt in the area where the Steamer is coming into the Cove.
I had one about that size that tried to eat a ~15lb rockfish I was cranking in yesterday. Almost got two fish! Came back with about 75lbs of fish between 3 of us. Halibut, rockfish, and a couple others I f0rget now. I'll put pictures soon, they are on my sisters camera. Those top pics look circa 1800s.. steamer?!
The ship is the Catala . Its weekly arrival was a big event , groceries for the store , freight and more importantly for a small boy a chance to go on board and buy a comic book! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Catala
What year did your area turn to color? Musta been weird living in black and white? "in the late 1980s a girl fell through a rusted portion of her deck, breaking her back. Her family sued the State of Washington, which in turn ordered the wreck cut up" Wow, what a crock. Kid goes playing on a rusty boat and it's the state's fault?
