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.
