Appropriately, our 13th episode falls on Halloween, and it is a bit gruesome. Bertie meets up with a dedicated band of guys trying to save the Chinook Salmon from extinction, but their methods are not for the faint of heart. So be warned – blood ahead!

And to get your day started, here’s the band Leftover Salmon with “Aquatic Hitchhiker”

    It is Monday, and I have to work. Sleep cycle still all messed up. Losing your daughters within months of each other tends to do that to a person.

    Salmon are very odd fish, and become even stranger as they near the end of their lives. I love baked salmon. Watching what the locals call “combat fishing” in Alaska is wild. Fishermen standing almost shoulder to shoulder on the stream bank, casting lures non-stop. When I saw that the first time, I told my son you could not get me to go down there for any amount of money. A guy could get hurt by all those lures with big hooks flying about.

    Do a YouTube search for “Combat fishing in Alaska.” It has to be seen to be believed.

    Good Morning Chuck –

    Sounds downright scary – I can attest those hooks HURT, and can be hard to get out.
