|
|
My buddy Chris and I just had a very relaxing week fishing with a few friends in Alaska.
Here are some images in no particular order. As you can see, life is grand.
6 different versions of Rock Fish
A nice Yellow Eye run
My first Halibut
Scott & his Ling Cod
Our friend art knows where to go to find the fish
Chris with the smaller of his two Halibuts. I cannot post an image of the bigger one as the guy working the gaff let it go.
Yes, our friend Scott is insane, however, he did bring back 5 fish from his Kyack excursion
This put a huge smile on my face when I saw it break water
This is what I call awesome fishing conditions |

| It is a Yellow Eyed Rock Fish. To me it is not unlike the Red Snapper we have here on the east coast, however, I think it is the best tasting fish I have ever had. |

| Yes, we catch those here in NY. Nice fish, but not as delicate a flavor as Yellow Eye |
