Went to Alaska came back with Crabs and more

[Mildog]

Well, I haven't been on for a while went to Alaska, got home and  took care of the Crabs (LOL) Halibut, Coho Salmon and more, then packed for Archery hunt and took off for a few more days. Saw Du Bobs post and thought I would post  this and add some fish porn ! I wish I would have gotten the upgrade Bob got on his flight home. I brought back 100 Lbs and extra fish boxes cost me $140. But I'm not complaining, lots of great fish all Vac packed up. Mostly Halibut. I get plenty of Kokes around here and like them as much as AK Coho Salmon, so I like to bring home Halibut, but I did bring back plenty of Coho as well. Went up for a week with a buddy on a do it ourselves trip the first part of August and also fished with a good friend up there as well. We hit the streams and found lots of willing Pinks taking flies right out of the salt just as they entered the streams. Saw lots of bears. We got Crabs pretty much every day (dungenesse) not the bad kind LOL. Went out in a 17 foot Skiff in the salt and we got into Coho and pinks, lost a nice king guessing 25 LBS at the boat, playing around with too light of gear ( would have let him go anyway, closed for non res. But I would have liked my gear back LOL)
We also went out with my buddy in his Boat, met some nice people from Beaver Utah that were also his friends and we all went out together and spent a half day chasing Coho, could have filled the Boat and got into a bunch of shaker Kings and a couple about 15LBs that we let l go, it was awesome we only fished for a few hours and got into a bunch probably kept 35 in just a few hours ( we could keep 42, but we all felt we had plenty. We had Humpback Whales bubble feeding around us the whole time, it was a great show !
Spent some time chasing Halibut and got into them as well. Great trip can't wait till next year !
