AFISHUNT Charters, with John Baker, was our guide for our Alaskan adventure. Here we are standing by our daily haul of halibut. Although this day didn't produce any large fish, they were certainly fun to catch. A bad storm caught us on our way off the fishing grounds, and made for a long, bumpy ride back to shore.

Now THAT's a lot of bull!

Kris and Jon had good success for King Salmon on the Kasilof River this spring. Check out these 2 big 'uns! These and more were caught while fishing out of a drift boat. The quiet beauty of the river was so relaxing. We stayed and fished 4 days, spending 2 days out for halibut. Those are hard work, but the reward in fillets is well worth it. We brought back about 126 pounds of fish to stock the freezers with. One day we'll have to return and go after Silvers in Seward's Resurrection Bay. I figured this would be my final Alaska trip, but we'll see what happens.
Yes, we're in Yellowstone National Park. And that is Old Faithful. This was a fishing trip Cindy and I took in July.
Captain Wayne Broadhead, who stays for the summer at Bridgebay Marina, took us out for 2 days of Lake Trout fishing. He's seen here holding an 11 pound, 12 ounce Laker.

Cindy had bragging rights on day one. This 10 pound, 11 ounce Laker hit her jigging spoon in about 25 feet of water. What a great fight!
