I had just a great time meeting Pat and staying with him and his family as I got to see a slice of the frozen north few of the 48'ers ever get to see.

Here are a few more pics of the adventure:

Pat and his sidekick Pinzgauer, a totally awesome truck(first time I had ever seen/heard of it):



It was an awesome job Pat did to fight that big king from a zodiak.Whenmy hook on an idle rod tangled with his line, I thought it was all over; and then when we both hoisted the netted fishover the side,Pat's hook had come out. Whew, it could have gone the other way. It really is combat fishing on the Kenai as everyone tries their best to squeeze into the same patch of water while drifting in a very strong current:




The crowds on the last day kept Paton the tiller instead of holding a pole, trying his best to get me hooked up:



I left 90F weather behind in MD, and it was waiting for me when I got back. The frozen north for sure, a view from Prince William Sound on our ill-fated voyage:



Well, I am looking forward to getting Pat over hereto MD, land of pleasant living, and let him have something else to brag about, lol. Thanks Pat!
