Not the best start this morning!! Hit some deadwood (log) or something while going out about 530, threw me out from the boat. For some great reason, I was able to grab the railing, brother had to pull me out. Don't remember much, just a thud, then I am in the water, had my life preserver on, just my lower half got wet. Life preserver cushioned my upper body when I hit the railing, feeling sore, and bruised. Grateful, not more seriously hurt, put my brother's raingear on since my pants were soaked, did not want to go in. I ended up catching about a 15# king, if that's what it takes to catch one, I think I'll pass,..

Just leaving Edmonds marina heading south towards Oil dock/Richmond Beach, visibility was good, we were both scouting the water for debris as we usually do to avoid something like that. Quite the surprise, even went back to look for it and not a trace!! But very fortunate I did not hit my head, feel blessed regardless, and yes, always wearing life preserver when going on open water like that. Could not see any damages to my brother's boat, hull looked intact, but will look for more damages after we get the boat on the trailer. Hopefully back and chest area not going to be to sore, will be out again tomorrow same time,..fish caught at Kayak Point

Good warning for the rest of us. Glad you are ok, and sounds like it was worth toughing it out!
