Getting Hooked


"To my mind, hunting and fishing is the big lure that takes us into the great open spaces and teaches us to forget the mean and petty things in life." 
- Leon Leonwood Bean

Some of the best fish that we have ever tasted we caught with our own two hands. We didn't mind getting down and dirty, if it meant filling our freezer and bellies. Sometimes we were more successful than others, and sometimes I was just more successful than Steve.

One of the best experiences we ever had was catching a salmon and then eating it hours after it was pulled out of the water. Nothing fancy, just a little butter, dill and lemon on the BBQ... Mouth watering. I even got to fillet that baby. 

Alaska has some of the best fishing in the world and is an angler's absolute dream. Fishing is a way of life up there, and we were hooked.

Salmon fishing in Bird Creek, Ship Creek, Skilak Lake, Kenai River and Kasilof River


Pretty proud of that fish. Between Steve and I, that baby holds the record.


Do you enjoy eating fish? Do you have any memorable fishing experiences? I'd love to hear!
