Had a great day today with Russ Stewart from Prince George and his two boys Curtis and Loren. Russ is an avid fisherman (lake, river and ocean) and has fished many places. After a somewhat lukewarm trip to rivers inlet a couple of years ago he decided to give fishing out of Masset a try. Minutes after putting our lines in the water, Curtis got the ball rolling by landing a nice coho salmon. From there, the action was almost non-stop.

The Stewart boys landed a couple of dozen salmon during the course of the day including a couple of Chinooks landed by Curtis and Loren. We then headed for the halibut grounds where the boys quickly got their fish. Russ wanted to try for a bigger hali, so we baited his hook with a whole salmon head. After getting smacked around by smaller fish for about 10 minutes, his bait got smashed by something else and his rod torqued right over. After the battle, Russ had a nice 30 lb halibut in the boat.
