Fishing Alaska with Leah

Just returned from fishing Prince of Wales Island with Leah "the daughter I never had". This young lady "LIVES TO FISH". Her parents gave her the airfare to Alaska and I went along while making all the other arrangements. A great excuse for me to go back for a fishing trip. We stayed a week at a friends place in Coffman Cove (on the Inner Passage). We fished the Passage with good luck. The streams were a strike out for us. In the end it was a fabulous trip and we brought back about 120 lbs. of salmon and halibut. We caught Silvers and Pinks.

Looks like an amazing trip!

Looks like a wonderful trip, those 20lb fillets were big. Glad both of you had fun.

Very nice! A 100 lb halibut is work, good job Leah. The silvers were sure in good shape, fat little pigs.

What a pile of fish! Fantastic vacation
