Alaska...the fish tale.



Danny, Jeff, Uncle Mike and Craig and their fish.

Craig caught this whopper of Halibut (yay, the only fish I like to eat).


Here is the story of Craig’s (he wishes it was Annual) Alaska Trip.
Wife drives Craig, his dad, and friend Jeff to airport, they get on plane, plane flies to Seattle, they board a different plane, plane flies to Anchorage. They get stuck in Anchorage for a very loooong time. High winds and stormy weather keep them from their final flight into Kodiak. After what seemed like days at the airport, they finally board and take off to Kodiak. We have success.
I know that Craig would have much more to say about his trip than I do, but if you want to hear about it before the return of Jesus, then you will have to hear it from your lovely correspondent…me! After much rain and not a lot of luck Salmon fishing, they headed out to the ocean. I think the pictures tell the rest of the story.

In the pictures above and below is one of the ships from the show Deadliest Catch. The Cornellia Marie is a 128 foot house aft fishing boat that carries 180 pots. Her crab tank can hold 312,000 lbs. of king crab.

Those are the biggest fish I have every seen. That is amazing.

Technical difficulties...

This blog doesn't always do what I want...ugh. So stretch your imagination and pretend like the pictures and words are all lining up correctly.
