Silver the Salmon

Once upon a time there was a beautiful Salmon named Silver. He lived in the ocean near Seku. On one early Saturday morning in September there were really big waves, some swells nearing 10 ft tall. Silver didn't think that he would be in any danger as the fishermen were all getting sea sick. But one particular fisherman named Zach, had not been fishing for almost 5 year. He was bound and determined to catch a fish. Even though he was not feeling well he persisted until Silver got a little to curious and took a nibble on his line. Silver and Zach struggled back and forth for a long time until the determined fisher won the fight.
Zach spent the next 5 days trying to calm his tummy from those 10 ft swells but he could proudly present his treasure to his family.

Zach the fisherman and his worthy opponent Silver.

Silver's shocked expression when he found out we intended to eat him.
Silver begged Samuel to changer our minds. Samuel begged Silver to changer our minds. Neither succeeded.
Samuel wanted to give Silver a farewell kiss. (this is as close as he got by the way). Samuel promised Silver that he would not eat him, and he kept that promise much to our dismay.

Our brave fisherman turned out to be a man of many talents. He manned that BBQ like a pro preparing us a savory meal.

Farewell our little fishy friend.

What an adorable post! Jim caught some salmon this year, also, and he is doing quite well at manning the BBQ. Yummm... He had to bring home much fish, though, to feed our gang. :)
