Fishing In Alaska!
 

Well some of you may know that I was up in Alaska for the last 5 days fishing with my family and some friends. Between My Dad, Mom, Brother, Me, My friend and my Brother's friend, we brought back home just under 500lbs of filleted Halibut, Rock Fish, Salmon, Black Cod, and Flounder! It was a blast. The best pictures are at the bottom of the post but you have to let the tension build a bit so look at them all!

Now the pictures:

His skipper when he caught it. He claims he did half the work and the skipper did they other half with his positioning and driving the boat while he had the fish on.

OMFG. That fish is disturbingly large.

That's a huuuge fish.

I'm going to have nightmares about that fish. :eek:

Holy carp!

I hate comic sans

omgfish

I lived up in Anchorage for 4 years and it's amazing the size of the fish they pull up there. Some guy caught a halibut over 400 lbs but It couldn't be set towards the record becuase he used a gun on it. :eek:

Can you ever go on vacation without giving someone head?

I just want to know what pen allows you to write on fish! I'd be taggin' fish all day long!

Looks like a blast Mang.

Damn, that is an impressive fish! Overall the whole catch is impressive actually. Fresh halibut is so damn good too. So... when is the SECCS fish fry gonna be? ;)

Wow sometime I wonder what can photoshop do!!!



just kidding kudo to your dad.

That fish is insane! You could stuff a human inside it and have a halibut human coured on blu.
Inject it full of cheese just like the deep fried cow in the "woods" episode of ATHF.

Wow! Looks like a great fishing trip.

That's crazy, makes me want to pick up a pole again.

Damn!! That fish is bigger than I am :lol:

Great Catch you guys!!
