Off we went in search of groceries!

Instead of getting silvers at the 7-11 down the street, we went for something a little bigger and a little different :



Here's one of my lings coming up:



Mrs. C (Fishgal's Mom) with a dandy yelloweye:



Our audience, a playful otter:



Fishgal does it again ... a 100 lb. class flattie:



And while we found some more toothy critters of the deep, this load of groceries is about perfect for the winter

About that yelloweye??? Is that like the one fishgal got last summer.
How'd she get another day off?

Your slacking off Bob, Fishgals going to expect two days off next year.

Where do you go to get beauties like that? No, I am not stepping over any boundaries...I mean the fish....Not that Fishgal isn't....oh man!

Great catch!

Them are some great eatin' fishes! My mouth's gettin' watery. Well, I better go eat something.

Nice fish and great pics! It was a nice way to brighten up my otherwise dreary lunch hour from an office building in Portland.....

Where were you fishing? From the background, it doesn't look like the Kenai Penninsula. Looks more like Seward/Resurection Bay.

Why do I get the impression that Bob didn't catch any fish. Could it be they were too small for a picture Bobert? Only funnin!

YOu're right, not this side of the Peninsula. We usually head over to Seward once a year in search of lings and yelloweye. The halibut was a fluke that we caught on a good ling spot I found last year.

I got to catch one of the lings, but with 4-5 footers and a steady wind, the boys spent much of the day running the boat to keep our drifts slow ... although most of the day was just spent getting to and fro' the spot we fished about 35 miles out of Seward.

Maybe I would have caught more, but I finally got a chance to play with the underwater camera I got for Christmas: I set it about 15 feet under the boat and had fun pulling schools of sea bass up within sight of the camera. Most of the time I did it w/o a hook, but also shot some with the hook attached.

Poor quality as I took a digital shot of the video screen, but this is a preview of some of the new vids I'll have on the site in the fall:
