Dustined83Just a little shy of our total limit.

The lodge owner after filleting all of the halibut we caught told us that we had caught the most for the year this year.

Right on, the lady and I are Florida Keys vacationers and we fish almost every day when down… Alaska though is on my bucket list. My brother did the king salmon run years ago fishing across the rivers from bears, said it was insane.

IronFoxThanks IF. So many things to do in Alaska.....especially if your the 'Outdoorsman'. If you like to fish or hunt.....its your paradise.

I will say that it was not cheap......nothing is really cheap in Alaska especially if your not a resident. The charter we had was off Kodiak Island in a small town called Port Lions.....no internet, no cell phone service,....the lodge didn't even have a TV so not even sure if that was available. But its not like we would have been watching much TV anyways......was out fishing from 8-4 everyday.....was awesome.

Yeah.....that bear pic was actually at a the wildlife refuge....they rescue hurt or sick wildlife. That is the typical 'Brown' bear that you see on the mainland. The 'Kodiak' bear is kinda like a hybrid of the Brown bear but they are only exclusively living on Kodiak Island.....no other area in Alaska or Canada.
