Today was a Special Fishing Adventure for me because I got to take out Debbie (Vining) Denman and her Family out on Lake Chelan for a Great 4 hours of Catching..It is so cool that I get to reconnect with classmates again. We started above the Yacht Club in the Deep water and had 1 of the best Catching trips of the summer. First Laketrout that came to the boat within the first 10 minutes. The second Laketrout hooked was a Big fish!! We put the hurts on this bad boy and it tipped the scales at 17lbs. 1 oz. Austin did a great job on battling this fish! Now I was explaining to them that the ladies on the boat are usually the luckiest on catching the Big Fish of the Trip! I knew that the 17lber was going to be a hard one to beat, and then the Outside Rod took off.. It was Debbie's turn to do battle on a another BIG BAD BOY! She did a Great Job while battling this Fish! Finally the fish wore out and we boated a Brute.. Debbie's Fish Tipped the Scales at 22lbs. 1 oz !!! What an incredible Fish!!! We continued to just slay the laketrout all morning long. We ended with boating 14 Laketrout and long line releasing a bunch also. Thanks so much to Jon, Debbie, Austin, Alex and Mai-Li Denman for fishing with me today. Sure was Great to see you Debbie! Tight Lines to all and Be safe!!!!
