This is not the best shot of the perfect 18lb fish I caught October 8th 2005 at 1st street, Benicia CA at 6:14 p.m. on a warm Indian summer afternoon. I am a regular at 1st street on the Weekends during the Salmon Run. I was the only one who landed a fish from 3 - 7 p.m. the Men kept loosing them, or the seal stole them. All I heard was Cheers from the crowd. It was awesome.
