Fishin' in AK

Darin and I were in Alaska last week to visit our family and fish. My momma jan met us up there and the three of us spent some beautiful time on the water catchin' fish. Alaska is so beautiful that even if you don't hook the big one, being in such a magical place makes fishin' fun. Luckily we caught more than our fair share of fish. I started the trip with a 25 lb. king salmon. That night my Mom nailed the first red salmon she ever hooked- which is quite the accomplishment. The next time out she got herself a 57 lb. king salmon that fought her for a half hour before we netted it. After a couple days on the Kenaii river we headed to the ocean for some halibut fishing. We fished out of Ninilchik and had an incredible day with the big one weighing in at 102 lbs. The BIG fish of the trip was a Salmon Shark that Darin hooked, but I will let him tell his own fish story... Check out the slideshow!
