Sorry, ghoti didn’t fit into the headline.
I haven’t had a rockstar post in a long time, but it felt good. One of those things I’ve meant to post for such a long time and finally put it into words when I was in a good writing mood. This is not one of those moods. More accurately, it’s too late at night to be in one of those moods.
So please enjoy this little photo series.

Here I am showing off my catch. I was excessively proud and made too big of a deal about pictures, nearly chucking the fish overboard after this last shot because I was more concerned with how I looked in the picture than with the fish who was just looking for its 15 minutes of fame.
Esther is demonstrating the salmon shuffle. It somehow involves the hands, feet, hips, and face.
Less than a year ago, she thought you could see across Lake Michigan. Little did she know that she would be holding a chinook salmon before 9am this summer.
Lehnert, with his enormous – uh – catch, put the charter together like Jake did last year, only this year we left from Port Washington for salmon versus last year’s depature from Kenosha for trout.
Jake with his dad. Lehnert’s dad is in the background. Good times, good times.
