PAGE B4, KEIZERTIMES, NOVEMBER 15, 2019 Being the bug Lopez and Martinez highlight A couple of weeks ago we headed to a coastal river to go salmon fi shing. I arrived at my friend Driller’s house at 5:15 a.m. where we hooked up his drift boat and drove to the coast. We were meet- ing Stinky, our long-time fi shing buddy, who was coming from Nehalem where he has a home. He arrived at the boat launch right on time and immediately started com- plaining about having to get up so early and how hard it was to drink in the dark. Some things never change. We put all our gear in the boat and headed down the river, me on the oars. Getting to the fi rst spot, I pulled back on the oars and positioned the boat so Driller and Stinky could back bounce their leads in front of the boat, allowing the bait to slowly go down the river near the bottom. This is a fun and effective method to catch salmon. After about 30 seconds, Stinky yelled, “There’s one,” and sets the hook. A beautiful bright Chinook boiled at the surface as his rod is bent and his thumb on the reel as he tried to control the fi sh. I pulled the boat into the softer water and grabbed the net, which was tangled in loose bungie cords. As I tried to un- tangle everything, Stinky told me to hurry up. About then he said “He’s off,” as the fi sh came unhooked. Of course he blamed me, although I played a part in his misfortune. Back out, I rowed, and in short order, Stinky was hooked up again. This time Driller was able to net the fi sh for him, a 12 pound silver bright Coho. Wild Coho can’t be retained so Stinky retrieved his hook and released the fi sh. In the next hole Stinky hooked again, this time a smaller coho which he also re- leased. We had been fi shing for about 30 minutes and he’s hooked three fi sh. This one-man show was starting to get irritating real fast. Sure enough, at the next hole, Stinky ex- claimed “There he is.” As he was hooked up to a Chinook which came off quickly. At least he didn’t blame me this time. At the next hole he was at it again. Driller netted a bright 25-pound hen Chinook for him as he got it in the boat. Over the past 50 years we have had many great days fi shing that river—everyone catching fi sh. But not this day. I rowed all day. Driller wasted bait and was head net man. Stinky? He hooked seven and landed four, including two large Chinook. And he missed some bites. It was a group effort, he said, trying to ease our pain. “Yes it was,” said Driller. “And thanks for the clinic.” It was then that I thought of the words of the Old Cow- boy from the movie The Big Lebowski: “Sometimes you’re the windshield and sometimes you’re the bug.” It was a great day spent with good friends, but I feel the spray of Windex headed my way. McNary’s all-league selections Lopez McNary’s boys soccer team had fi ve members of their team receive all-Moun- tain Valley Conference rec- ognition for their play this season. Senior forward Luis Lopez was named to the fi rst team and junior Jose Martinez was placed on the second team. Seniors Jack Baez and Ale- jandro Villarreal, as well as junior Edgar Salazar received honorable mention nods. Lopez had three goals and fi ve assists on the sea- son. He scored the lone goal in the Celtics 1-0 win over #4 Summit. He also had the only score in McNary’s 2-1 Martinez playoff loss to Lincoln on Saturday, Nov. 2. Martinez was consid- ered the best defender on the team by McNary head coach Miguel Camarena and helped the Celtics hold op- ponents to two goals or less in every game but one. Baez was a four-year var- sity player, as well as a team captain, and had four assists on the season while Salazar led McNary with fi ve goals and six assists. Villarreal set a McNary record with seven shutouts on the season as a goalkeeper. “Alejandro was our best defender, he saved us so many times,” Camarea said. “In my perspective, he is the best goalkeeper in our con- ference.
