Two shad. One mystery.

I was fishing 12 lb line when this rod absolutely buried over. It was pulling way too hard to be a typical salmon or steelhead, so I slowed down and played it carefully, convinced I had something much bigger on.

The whole fight had me guessing.

Then the fish finally came into view.

Turns out there was a reason it felt so heavy.

Watch to the end for the payoff.

So Captain Rod Shulley of Reel Em Up Fishing Adventures and I gave away a $1,000 guided fishing trip, and this incredible family drove all the way down from Seattle to join us.

The fishing was steady early, but once we dialed in the right colors that afternoon, it absolutely took off. The best part wasn’t the number of fish though.

It was watching these kids wear themselves out catching shad.

By the end of the day they were exhausted, laughing, and having the kind of experience they’ll probably remember for years. If shad grew as big as Chinook salmon, they’d be breaking rods and emptying reels.

Moments like this remind me that fishing has never really been about the fish.

It’s about family.
It’s about getting kids outside.
It’s about making memories that last longer than any limit of fish ever will.

I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of days like this. Even running on no sleep, seeing smiles like these makes every early morning worth it.

And honestly, a lot of the best fishing memories I’ve had over the years wouldn’t have happened without Captain Rod. That’s why I continue to book family and friends with him whenever I can. We always have a great time, and more importantly, he genuinely cares about giving people an experience they’ll never forget.

Congratulations again to this awesome family. Thanks for making the trip down and spending the day with us.

Who else remembers a fishing trip from their childhood that they’ll never forget?

Headed out with Captain Rod, Don, and our guided shad trip giveaway winners who made the drive all the way from Seattle to chase some Columbia River shad.

Always cool meeting followers in person and getting them on the water. Let’s see if we can put some fish in the boat.

Who’s driving the boat?

Nobody.

The Pacific Reign is running on autopilot, smashing through ocean swells while staying stable enough for me to film and Sean Proulx to build a halibut bait taco. Twin Mercury Verado 400s, Zipwake trim control, and a hull that barely leans through turns.

Technology has come a long way.

The biggest springer I saw at Drano Lake this year. This fish stopped people in their tracks. I slowed the footage down so you can really see the size of this spring Chinook as it comes to the net. Drano Lake has produced some incredible fish this season, but this one was in a class of its own.

I’m looking to connect with charter operations, lodges, tourism groups, and fishing businesses in places like Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Alaska, and other major fisheries.

Part of my business is helping organize and promote trips while creating media that gives operations long-term exposure beyond a single charter day.

What makes this different is that I approach audience growth and marketing like an engineering problem, not just a social media page. I’m currently in engineering grad school focused on systems, analytics, optimization, and performance improvement, and I apply those same principles to content strategy and business growth.

That means:
• testing and refining content based on viewer behavior
• analyzing engagement and retention data
• optimizing reach and audience targeting
• building systems that create repeatable growth instead of random viral moments

The goal is simple: create authentic fishing content that helps quality operations reach more anglers, build trust, and generate long-term visibility.

I’m especially interested in partnerships involving:
• hosted trips
• destination promotion
• media collaborations
• trip coordination
• long-term marketing relationships
• collaborative growth opportunities

If you run a quality operation and think we could work together, send me a message.

Josh Henson showing off what the Zipwake system can do on the Pacific Reign ACI catamaran. Running around 30 knots and throwing hard turns with basically ZERO lean.

Wild part? This footage wasn’t even shot on a gimbal.

Twin Mercury Verado 400s on a 34x12 ACI cat make for one insanely stable ride offshore.

The Willamette River is currently 5.09°F warmer than it was on this exact date last year.

That lack of snowpack is starting to show up in a big way.

For salmon, warmer rivers mean more stress, lower oxygen, higher disease pressure, and lower juvenile survival. The fish affected today are the adult returns we’ll be seeing 3 to 5 years from now.

Snowpack is basically the Pacific Northwest’s cold-water savings account. When it disappears early, rivers warm faster and stay warmer longer.

This isn’t just a “this year” issue. These conditions can shape future salmon runs years down the road.

Something to pay attention to.

Whole herring. Shad fillet. Salmon belly. Squid. Then drowned in Pro-Cure butt juice.

This bait was built to w**d out the little guys and call in a straight-up barn door. Big halibut LOVE a giant scent trail and a mouthful worth eating.
