We all flew home today.  I need to go unpack but here are a few teaser pics.

Tim starts the trip out right on the first night with a 60+ pound halibut (released).

Salmon were a bit on the slow side, but here's an 8# silver on the deck.

Thanks for the report, and more importantly, the pics. Great pics.
I want to do that!
Ketchikan, huh?
If you don't know where you're headed, any road could get you there.

It was a great, amazing trip.  Slow fishing, but some unforgettable fish.  Such a beautiful area -- you don't go up there just for the fish.

Here are some more shots...

Howard whipped up some great meals, and even delivered them to us on the water!  Here's some great prawns...
