Alaska - Kenai River
« on: August 01, 2010, 07:08:44 PM »
Hello, I know this is a hunting site and all but given the down time I figured I would post a few pic's of my AK trip on the Kenai River.  The 52lb'er was my biggest King, however I got out-fished by the crafty old man as he was quick to grab the rod when the 70lb hawg hit.

Congrats on the Big Hogs! You will definitely have some great eating there! :) Alaska Fishing is so awesome. I've fished the waters out of Sitka twice and I had a ball! My biggest King was only 50 pounds, but we also caught Silvers in the 18 to 22 pound class. We also caught Ling Cod and Halibut that were whoppers! :)

Thanks for all of the compliments.  It was an incredible fishing trip, out of 8 of us we brought back 850 lbs of fillets (salmon and halibut). 

Engelwood - thanks for pointing that out, I didn't even notice for the fishing section.  Thanks

Boom - we went with Big Sky Charter (www.kenaiguide.com); Adam knows how to put you in front of big fish.  He's guided the river for over 10+ years and is fantastic, I highly recommend the outfit.
