Brad and his best friend Travis went to Alaska for a week to fish for Salmon and Halibut. This picture was taken on back woods lake you can only get to by float plane. They were fishing for Coho Salmon. Look to the left in this picture and you will see a grizzly also fishing, not even ten feet from the boat. Brad said the bears were as thick as the boats.

Here is a picture of a momma bear and her three cubs fishing on the lake not far from Brad and Travis's boat.

This is the float plane that the boys took to get to the lake. Brad and I flew on one of these planes when we were in Alaska two years ago...wow, I have never done anything as scary since!

Here it is! The first King Salmon Brad hooked! He landed this monster on the Kenai river, it weighed in at 45 pounds! The guy standing next to him is the fishing guide.

Another picture of Brad's giant fish!

This is a picture of the Halibut haul the boy's along with their shipmates came back to shore with. We now have about 70 pounds of fresh Halibut in our deep freezer.

And here they are... at the Salty Dog Saloon, to celebrate Travis's birthday! Apparently this saloon is world renowned for the hundreds of thousands of pairs of woman's underwear that decorate the interior walls. I wouldn't eat there...
