I'm up in Gaylord for a few days with Brad, Will, and Bill. We're spending a few days on our second annual Wild-At-Heart get-together. The four of us, plus Noel, went on a very meaningful retreat in Colorado a few years back, and this is how we reconnect each year. Noel can't be here this year, because his wife is pregnant and due any day.

We went Salmon fishing today in Frankfort. We got up at 2:55 A.M. in order to get there by 5 A.M. It was pretty overcast, with waves between one and three feet high - which translated into me ralphing over the side (Thanks for the pictures Will). We caught 10 King Salmon, the largest was 22lbs. The King Salmon were amazing to catch - it would take up to 15 minutes to land one - and they would fight like crazy. It was a great battle. We came back to Bill's, worked for a while (gotta love wireless connections - even up North), napped, and cooked up some Salmon.
