Hey there,
I just wanted to reply to a few comments made and offer a little knowledge on the subject at hand.
In regards to Poppa, you would have to be a total sucker to think this domain is only worth $1000. The fact is LastChance and others who are interested see the potential in this domain. Ever heard of location, location, location?
When it comes to salmon charters, marketing in the real world is just as important as online. As we all know this industry has a lot of competition. Wouldn't you want to stand out from the crowd with the best domain for it? Sure, top ranking in search engines is important, but there is more to marketing. I would also like to mention that when you build salmoncharters.com, actively promote it online, you will gain search engine ranking. You're not guaranteed top position, nobody is. But, if someone is looking down the results and see SalmonCharters.com, there's a higher chance they will click it.
The most important thing is this. SalmonCharters.com is easy to remember. People will remember that address without writing it down. That's important. Having your website address on the side of your truck and/or boat is a great way to attract clients. If you're driving down the highway at mach 10 and a potential client next to you glances at your address, they aren't going to have time to write down your longdomainwithauselessextensionlike.biz. They probably wouldn't remember your madeupdomain.com either, but they will remember SalmonCharters.com. Existing clients will have an easier time referring you to their friends also. Another great thing is SalmonCharters.com is a type-in a domain. That means people will type in this domain without knowing whats there. That's a good thing because they wouldn't be typing salmoncharters.com if they weren't interested in salmon charters.
If anyone still doesn't think domains are valuable, I suggest you take a look at dnjournal.com. There are many websites out there that focus on domains, but this one shows you all the latest domain sales that are publically known.

All in all, I think the price on this domain is pretty cheap considering the potential and rarity of it. It wouldn't take long to pay off this investment.
