This one is from a couple years ago in the Prince William Sound.  Not the greatest picture but it does bring back some great memories.

I usually don't take many pictures while fishing. I need to start. Here is a shot from last year. My favorite fish to catch. I have not found anything more fun that catching 5-7# smallies on lighter gear.
