Fish on

Jeff and Dad came up to Alaska for a quick fishing trip and boy oh boy did it turn into an epic fish slaying. They got in on Saturday and we geared up and took of to the Kenai. Jeff got squished into the back of the truck but he didn't complain much! Anyhow we stayed at a nice little cabin that a friend of mine was gracious enough to let us use. The first night was well...less than productive, I think we each caught a fish is all. The next morning we went down to the same place because as we were leaving the dip netters were starting to pick up. So I tried my luck with the net and Dad and Jeff whipped the water. My net sucked but still managed to pull three fish in...Dad and Jeff meanwhile got skunked. We were super tired and hungry so we went to Fred's got some grub and decided to try Swift water campground. This was the first taste of Combat fishing, but luckily the fish were in so hot it didn't matter! After a few broken lines and some proper knots we had fish on and a bag limit in no time! The next day was a repeat, except we slept in a little then hit the river again, and yes slayed the fish! I think when it was all said and done we'd caught over 40 Alaska Red's! YUM!!! I had to fillet them all because we wouldn't have room to transport otherwise, so we used a friends sweet table that made it a quick job! boy I'm going to miss Alaska.
