8/28/2009 7:01:00 AMI agree that they are great eating. Great to hear you are doing well on the river and having fun with your son. The last three days out in the salt have been amazing and today (Friday) I will smoke another 4 fish to enjoy through the New Year. I put 4 - 10 oz fillets aside for grilling throughout the weekend. I am amazed how great these fish taste. My buddy cooked up a silver and a pink side by side on the BBQ grill following Tuesday's trip and he said the pink was fantastic and the silver was dry. That may be a cooking issue as far as heat or cooking method is concerned, but these pinks are great table fare without question. I occasionally read a post from a member slamming pink salmon or commenting that they never keep pinks, and I think to myself, what ? Anyway, nice report. Keep up the good catching work. And don't forget a net next time out. :)
On a side note: Yesterday one of my limit was a 6.2 pound pink (buck) and he fought like a king salmon. I was surprised to see it was a pink. He will smoke up very nice. I'll bet your big fish was in the same weight range.
