Thank you for brightening a morning when I just found out I have to work Saturday! :shake:

Enjoyed the photos....

Wow. Looks like a great season. I can't decide whether a trip to Alaska would be a good thing or a bad thing. Fish like that might spoil you so bad you wouldn't ever fish at home again.

Fun way to spend a summer i retutned from doing the same thing about a month ago. I was a little bit disappointed having to miss the sailver fishing. Prolly just as well with all of the pinks in the water. lol Did you take a drift boat on the Kenai or dso you also run a powerboat?
