Annual AK trip

[BuzzH]

Did a quick week long trip with 4 days of fishing.

Was a great trip, went with my Dad, Brother, and 3 other friends. It was my Brothers first trip and he tore up the fish.

Probably the best halibut bite I've had in the dozen or so trips I've made. One day we landed on a pile of larger fish and got 4 over 100 real quick like.

Grey Cod bite was fast as well, one day we topped off the box in about 45 minutes.

Black Rockfish were awesome, caught some holding the jig 4-5 inches out of the water.

A few pictures.

View from the place we stayed:

Day one box, slowest day by far:

Nice Quillback:

Good halibut:

About as good as black rockfish get:

Kings around:

Awesome!!!

Pretty rough water:

Better box of fish:

Waiting for a bite:

My Dad and my Buddy Tom both got nice lingcod on one spot we fished for rockfish, I lost another in this class...don't think I got the hook into it, just clamped down on the jig.

Last day...great way to end the trip:

All packed up and ready to head home...750lbs of filets for 6 guys.

Can't wait to do it all over again in another year.

Now on to the orthopedic surgeon for a consultation on shoulder surgery. Definitely a someday destination for me. Looks like the perfect trip, other than the rough weather. When you landed you became the biggest seafood broker in Wyoming.

[mdhunter]

That’s getting it done! What an adventure!

 

[fallfreak]

Wow!! 750 lbs in 4 days? That sounds like some incredible fun. Hope to experience that myself one day.

[Nick87]

Jealous.

 

[Straight Arrow]

Now that's a mess of fish! And a ton of fun!!!

All you guys saying you need to do this someday, just go do it. Find a cheap ticket, stay 4 days, fish 1 day. Can be had for around $1500 bucks if you're frugal. If you love to fish, it's something you really need to do

Trip with your Dad, Brother and friends...NICE!

 

[Steelsearchin]

Helluva haul! So awesome!!!

Last time we went I found I liked the rockfish and ling over the halibut. What are you thoughts?

That would be a blast! Those are some awful calm sea conditions you guys had.
