Nice job Brandon! Yes, I got a good laugh out of that first demo of the flop. Looks like you are in control, going as planned, and then...oh no!
Those commercial fishing boats would probably scare me off a bit at first. You did very well with them around. I'm sure it took some time to get used to for yourself. The comments from the one to you to get off the school are misplaced. Tough call for me to make though. You never know how many bad experiences that boat has had with novice sockeye anglers. I'll bet he could tell some stories...
