Best day of fishing was Aug 10 2002 on the lower Kenai (where else?) when my 10 yr old daughter Marci graduated from tossing spinners for pinks to backbouncing eggs for silvers. We were anchored in tidewater at the Bluffs along with her grandfather who was also being baptised into the art of backbouncing. Needless to say, the kid quickly developed perfect form, and before long, it was obvious she had "the touch".... while grandpa just struggled, never quite getting the knack of maintaining contact with the bottom and walking that bait downriver.

We limited in less than two hours, with Marci hooking both of grandpa's fish. The first pic says it all! In the second one, a very proud dad helps to display her first silver limit.
