Well, easy for me, not so much for Steven. Some of the charters have 16-20 people fishing - we only had 4 and our lines still got crossed!

I thought that little boy was going to cry all day. It was so sad, and the Dad was just as upset, he just didn't show it like his little boy. That elk came through their windshield onto their laps, it's a wonder they weren't hurt!The Choutershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798787090141843431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438854317312967203.post-32291622921884615932016-08-03T18:14:48.830-07:002016-08-03T18:14:48.830-07:00I *might* have gone without him, but maybe not.

We're definitely going fishing when we make it to Alaska. Hope we're as successful as you were. Way to go getting the biggest fish! And you weren't even wearing fishing camo. :-) And Steven, you're a real trooper. Glad you guys didn't hit that moose. That could have been bad.

He said yes and then some. Larry lucked out as I had a fishing buddy to go with instead of him. Though I really think if I didn't have a fishing buddy, he would have taken one for the team, with the same result as Steven's. That's true love.Connie Farquharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11578015144471514790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438854317312967203.post-29159875413201108282016-08-01T15:00:43.662-07:002016-08-01T15:00:43.662-07:00After a couple of days, and as soon as we had our ...After a couple of days, and as soon as we had our first halibut meal, he decided it was worth it.

Bouncing for an hour to get to the fish spot, fish for 2 hours and bounce back. All for $10 more fish than I could have bought at shore.
