It’s August and the silvers (coho, to you southerners) are running in Valdez. This year it’s a 3 day excursion from the 21st thru the 24th with 3 of us going: my brother, his bud & myself. Ya’ll have seen this before and standard contest boilerplate applies:
Guess the total number of salmon caught and the total weight for the 3 days. Closest guess to each number snags a forum fiver. Bonus guess for the heaviest single salmon; closest one grabs a bonus fiver. Official weights determined by Katie’s almost calibrated, banged up spring scale. Open till midnight AK time on the 20th.
Do a little google-fu to figure things out like limits and sizes….I’m not gonna give any hints!
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...

All of it absolutely delicious.
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
I tried to resist doing this but I can’t.

If I win, send the winnings to @CalvinAndHobo.
My disagree, my entry is very clear. I only win if he doesn’t catch anything.
You'll also notice I haven't placed an entry. I have too many cigars and would rather Paul sends to one of these guys who are low.

I am not expecting you to hit those and my picking them pretty much ensures you won't hit those exact #s.
Like if the prop falls off, the electronics get fried on the boat. Or the road washes out.

Gone fishin’!
At this point, @CalvinAndHobo has the lead. Things are not going well in Valdez. Sunday afternoon was a bust and yesterday wasn’t much better. We’re at 2 silvers for a total of 11 lbs with the heaviest being 6 lbs. Dismal…..
I hope you were in the right spot at the wrong time and that the population hasn't crashed. I read the Alaska king snow crabs have mysteriously disappeared. Just too many humans on this planet.

I shouldn’t have spoken it into existence.
^ My disagree, Edward. I don't think there are too many humans, just too much gluttony and unwarranted feelings of entitlement.
