My Dad and brother & two friends caught their limit on a charter out of Port Renfrew, B.C.
They reckon the fish to be worth about $1000. 🙂

cycling Qualicum Beach, B.C.
Qualicum Beach is a town located on Vancouver Island British Columbia, Canada. At the 2011 census, it had a population of 8,687.
It is situated at the foot of Mount Arrowsmith, along the Strait of Georgia on Vancouver Island‘s northeastern coast. …
It’s easy to bike between Qualicum and Parksville on quiet roads.
Though I’d spent plenty of time – in the past – walking the shoreline, this time I stayed up above in town. Close to the railway track.
… a popular tourist destination, with many rental cottages dotting its coast. It is also a popular retirement community, and has the oldest average population in Canada with a median age of 60.9 in 2006. …
If you are looking for a cozy little retirement cabin …
