Salmon, Salmon, and More Salmon


On Monday fishing was open from 7am to 7pm, so we got up at 5am to put nets in the water. 5am came really early considering we got to bed around 2am the night before. The water was much smoother than it was on Sunday, which was nice. There was no fishing on Tuesday, which meant the crew had the day off. Jackson and I were up at 4:30 to meet a guide on the Kenai River. The guide trip was great, and Jackson caught a 64 lb, 47 inch King Salmon with a 33 inch girth. Unfortunately King from 46 to 55 inches in length must be released, so we couldn't keep it. There are, however, pictures on Jackson's Picasa site. Enjoy!

  1. What was the name of your guide? I'm pretty sure I know him. :)

  2. Dave Michael. He teaches with Mike, has fished set nets with him, and I think either is or has been affiliated with the same church.
