Its so weird. The meat is pale and not bright orange like salmon usually is (I'd imagine due to their diet in the lake vs ocean diet) but it tasted like a really mild salmon??? It was surprisingly good and I'm looking forward to trying more

We finally had a chance to cook up some of the salmon we caught a we weeks ago and DAMN! It was tasty! Couldn't believe how good it was.
I admit I was skeptical seeing how many people say great lakes salmon / lake Ontario salmon isn't good. So I was expecting it to be mediocre. Pleasant surprise!

My last salmon catches of the season from this last weekend! The runs were much later this year due to a lack of rain. Still always a thrilling fight when one of these decides to bite!

Always lots of fun going out with @anyare.art who also helped with netting these and taking photos 🎣

Some of the last salmon I caught this season over the last weekend.
Overall, it was a fantastic fishing season and I feel like I learned a lot and got a lot of experience under my belt this year. 🎣

The vet visit was... Not good.

She may have mammary tumors and I'm spending about $600 in tests.

If they come back poorly, she has to get a $6000 surgery to remove all of her glands since the tumors are aggressive.

Caught a Coho salmon for the first time over the weekend! Had some troubles identifying it since it looks pretty similar to a rainbow trout. Really neat to catch a different species!

I saw the trailer for the doc and I wanna see it! I'm assuming it was good? Was it sad?

Salmon fishing was super hot this weekend! Lots of fights and tons of hookups with @anyare.art

We even did our first harvest this year and will be smoking those up, probably next weekend 😁

Always an amazing time with my fishing buddy

Salmon fishing was on fire yesterday! Lots of hookups and landed two fish. I also decided to harvest one, so that was an experience! @phiro.bsky.social and I had a great time fishing the fresh run of fish.

Hide Hyodo Shimizu fought for Japanese-Canadians to gain the vote in Canada.
When Japanese-Canadians were forced into internment camps, she set up a school system.
Then, she campaigned for compensation for Japanese-Canadians who lost everything.
This is her story.
