I was in constant contact with Captain Chris leading up to our trip, and he was always quick to respond and keep us updated on weather and plans. On the day of our trip he got us out on the water quick and we had fish on the boat before we could even get all the lines out! I got to watch all my brothers and dad catch monster salmon, and a once in a lifetime giant brown trout! I will definitely be booking with Captain Chris again! Great memories made!

Thanks again for coming out, we had a great time fishing with you guys. I am glad we were able to help create some great memories, and wow that Brown Trout was a Stud! I will remember that fish, and the funny story behind it for a long time :)
