50th Wedding Anniversary


June 16th to 19th. The last trips weather worries dissolved and we were joined by three couples celebrating their parents Marcel and Helene’s 50th wedding anniversary. We felt privileged to have them all aboard on their first salmon fishing trip. No strangers to fishing they quickly showed us how fast they could pick up on the salmon and halibut techniques The highlight of an awesome trip had to be the Triple header, salmon of 33, 27, and 22 all on at the same time. Too bad no one had a free hand for the movie camera, what a circus it was. Best of all, each fisherman did a great job of not only keeping their fish apart but also playing them beautifully. All three were landed, a first on the Thunder for three big springs at once. Well done. The halibut fishing was also spot on and we thank Gratien and his wife Lorraine for putting together the trip. We hope it was the trip of a lifetime they had hoped for.
