ND Mike THat is so awesome, and I am oddly proud that when you saw bears you thought of me! It looks freaking beautiful. Hopefully we get to see more pictures when you have time!
Jonathon Alaska is truly an amazing place.

So where to start? The first day was a super long day of travel. We flew from Fargo, ND to Chicago, Chicago to Seattle, Seattle to Anchorage. Spent about 10 hours on planes, I can’t remember how many layover hours, then a 3 hour drive from Anchorage to Kenai. We were pretty tired when we got there. The next day was a recover day hanging out at the cabins and visiting with the Alaskan guys I played football with.
The first adventure we did was fish for Halibut. We went out of Ninilchik. The seas were pretty rough we were in 6 foot rollers. On our boat 2 people got sick and on the other boat 4 people were sick. Both boats limited out but the Halibut were all small.
All in all a fun trip but also my least favorite thing we did. Part 2 will come tomorrow. -

bocephus We lived large when I brought home about 200 lbs of halibut steaks about 1.5 inches thick and 150 lbs of salmon back in the day from my trip. The experts up there advised to soak it in milk, season it like a steak and grill it. They weren’t kidding. One of the best white steaks ever.

bocephus halibut is good. It was just a crappy day on the water. Small fish and big seas make for not a great time on the boat.

A bad day fishing is better than a good day doing anything else.

samspade 100% and thats what I told myself!

zbigjeff My brother in law used to go up every year and bring back halibut steaks, always looked forward to them.

PapaSop it was one of the best weeks of my life.

ND Mike Better weather, water, and a Halibut over 50# may move it up favorites list. I am waiting for the drift on the Kasilof update. Typically a good King salmon run with the hatchery fish.
Spidey that will be tomorrow.
