Salmon fishing on the Columbia

Nicole's Grandpa, Dad, Mom and Brother came to Omak this past weekend. Connor has now officially met all of his great grandparents.. all 5 of them!  Nicole's Grandpa loves to fish, but it is becoming more and more challenging these days, so for Christmas and Fathers day Nicole's parents got him 2 days of guided fishing on the Columbia with Jeremy's good friend from high school. The 4 of us that fished were: Grandpa Don, Nicole's dad Kevin, Jeremy and Nicole. Uncle Brian and Grandma Shelly babysat Connor so Nicole could fish, this is officially the first time Connor has been without Jeremy or Nicole for an extended period.... weird! :-)

We had 2 good days of fishing. My Grandpa Don started it off right with a 30 lb King Salmon within the first 15 min of being in the water... it was the largest fish caught the whole trip :-)
Grandpa reeling in the big one! Notice how dark it is... it was 5:00 in the morning :-)

Grandpa and Jerrod with the big one... notice how much lighter it is outside.. it took between 30-45 minutes to get it into the boat!!

Four Generations!! 3 love to fish... we'll see if #4 does too!! :-)

Brian was planning on staying in Omak for a week, but after the long drive, sleeping in a "non-hospital" bed and a different routine, he realized it was just too soon to try.. so instead Nicole and Connor are going to Boise for the week...should be fun!
