Alaska

The Silver salmon were running in the rivers and we were just running from the bears!
Pooring rain couldn't keep Jack from the big catch
The rain lifted and we dried out around the fire!
We were able to confirm the answer to the age old question "Does a bear crap in the woods?" The answer is "yes," of course.
Dad felt a bit safer on a boat with seasick medicine than on the beach escaping the bears. The Silver Salmon (Coho) were biting. The tend to slap the bait with their tail to stun it and then come back for the bite! The bouncing effect on your pole before you set the hook is called the "Coho Yo-yo" This one tipped the scales at 13.5 pounds!
