Evan, Sam and I got out on Sunday--and the fishing was incredible. We had a ton of doubles and a few instances where all three of us were hooked up. I'll take fishing like that any day.

Very, very nice set of fish guys!! Glad you had a great day:)
Wow! Great pictures of gorgeous fish (and water)...and a pretty snazzy presentation. FYI, a picture may be worth a thousand words, but I miss your pithy commentary!
I am writing to inform you that your blog contains unnecessarily large amounts of obscene and offensive material, even for mature audiences. These so call pictures of "FOUS," or Fish Of Unusual Size, are causing mental and physical harm. I was willing to let one or two blog posts go without repercussion, but this non ending assault on my wellbeing has become quite enough and must be stopped. It is in lue of this I respectively request that you discontinue your catching of FOUS and allow myself to enjoy my office in peace.
^ Josh, you probably didn't notice, but the picture of the rainbow laying on the grass next to the rod has a tag in it. Here's the larger version: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/zsynSDpZRlXIwrjOSjkBRg6xUaZRM95axuSRaKFNkHM?feat=directlink. Is that a radio tag?
Austin, i dont see the tag in the larger pic. If it is a radio tag, you will see a ~5inch thin wire protruding out from around the anal fin, or it can also come out from the fishes lower body. People will also insert them into a salmon’s throat (so you will see the wire coming out of the fishes mouth) but i dont think they would do that to a resident fish. Other common fish tags are floy tags or T-tags. These are external tags that get an “anchor” inserted into the fish’s body, but there will be a piece of plastic with a visible ID code on it. These are usually inserted directly behind the dorsal fin. Regardless of what kind of tag it is, that is pretty sweet! I have never hooked/landed a tagged fish.
So after further consultation with Josh, it appears the fish had a floy tag. My rudimentary google research indicates this is a mark-recapture tag. You can see it in the linked picture, just below the dorsal fin at the water line.
All right, now you're getting cocky ... not enough time for narrative, indeed! I'm tending to agree with Josh, you need to stop catching FOUS ... or at least you need to understand that doing so without the rest of us there is likely to have dire consequences at the next family gathering!! OR Mom

^ I guess if I didn't go fishing so much I'd have more time for the narrative. Of course, that's a tough trade to make.

Huge day, and great pics. Keep it going.
