No faded roses. I read on the 'lectric innernet that meat cooked and consumed within sight of where it was harvested DOES taste measurably better!!!

I borrowed an Orvis 8W and some reel with an adjustable disk drag for stalking Cohos in Kodiak. They were less than 2 miles from Ugak Bay and 5 from the Gulf of Alaska. They were strong, fresh fish. Hooking one was like tying onto a submarine; that drag will NEVER be the same...
