Nice George!
I never got a chance to do any salt water fishing, and the closest I came to it was an alternate. Corporate travel agent tried to hook us up, but it had to be on a Sunday.
Back in the late 80's, I spent 9 weeks in Puerto Rico working as a contractor to Westinghouse. I wanted to hit the Caribbean Sea, and could easily bump a paid charter with the right amount of cash. I don't play those games, never have, and never will.
I have a lot of stories about that adventure in PR.
I have also caught my share of 30+ lb King's (Chinook Salmon) out of Lake Michigan, they put up a good fight.
Lake Trout are like pulling up log's. We got quite a few with Sea Lamprey still attached, and more with the obvious same markings.
One fish that was one of my favorites were Jack's (Coho).
