Last day of crabbing.

Today we got up at seven again to go crabbing. During the morning we got three keepers and threw back at least two hundred small crabs. Right before we left, we got another keeper. While we were crabbing we met two people (a man and his son that were commercial fisherman) that told us all about salmon fishing. The salmon have to be at least forty eight inches long to keep. They use lures to fish instead of bait and get about five (out of nine) keepers. They were out fishing from the morning until dusk, and got twenty four keepers. Right after they catch a keeper salmon they gut it on the spot. They showed us their boat and they even let me steer it! I had so much fun!
