Went out on the Cowlitz today for my birthday with my dad. My quarterlife crisis had me looking to catch my first steelhead and we were not disappointed. Launched out of Blue Creek around 7:20 and left the crowds around the hatchery behind. Hit my first steelhead, a sixish pound hatchery buck within an hour of hitting the water. Two passes later hooked another, a 12ish pound hatchery hen, BRIGHT CHROME! Then a few mintues later my dad pulls in another 10+ pound hen. After that it slowed down, but around 11am my dad lands another good sized hen and we're off the water by lunch time.

So, for my 25th my dad and i both caught our first steel and brought home four nice fish. Not a bad birthday present!

The only thing you're missing now is your candy apple red Corvette :)

If by corvette, you mean: Http://jalopnik.com/#!328705/the-z06-corvette-speed-boat
Then I would agree.
