[B]WOW![

That's all I can say.

[Loopdawg]

You're definitely building up some great memories. What kind of fish was that with the spots and long dorsal fin? It almost looks like a huge sculpin.

[Labrador]

freaking awesome. More...More...

Richie those are incredible. Looks like you are having a great time out there. Jealously is hitting right now. Keep up the good work, and send more pics...

[Rusty Fowler]

Nice! The adventure continues! :cheers:

[Richie27]

hey guys...I've had a great time while being up in Alaska. We've made countless weekend runs up to the north slope to chase Caribou or down south to catch the salmon run, and pretty much the outcome is blood shot eyes on Mondy morning but its worth it.

The fish in the picture is a small Lin Cod. Most of the time you'll see them and they're the size of your leg and they taste really good!


These were alive about 3 hrs prior!

when I grow up. What a wonderful way to LIVE!

[nuggetlegs]

Where did you go for the sheefish? I've been meaning to check those out but haven't had the time or money.

[Richie27]

hey man we caught those in the Chatanika River just north of Fairbanks. We've also had some luck in the Chena and moose creek.

[Windknot]

Fabulous, Ritchie! :cheers:

Here's some pics from our trip Prince WIlliam Sound. Dad had just returned from Iraq and Richie's about to head out. It was a special trip and I have a rug to help tell the stories to the grandkids one day about our adventure.

Wow rambler, those b and w shots are incredible. Nice job.

[Gaines'BowBum]

I really like the shots of the Northern Lights, pretty darn cool... Not so much of the -37* shot from the truck, a little cold for my GA blood. Thanks for sharing, looks like yall are having a blast up there... How much longer are you guys out there???

[Richie27]

My brother Clayton lives here in Ga but I'm stationed up in Fairbanks and I'll be there for another month before we head out to go and play for a year. Then I'll be back in Fairbanks for a couple more months before my time is up.
