Title: Dad's Alaskan salmon!
Post by: Guy on June 29, 2009, 10:51:42 AM: Dad was fishing in Alaska last week with his 9wt fly rod and brought in this 65 pound King. He's pretty pleased with it!

Hope I'm that healthy and adventurous when I'm in my 80's! He's a big guy, 6-04 and still over 200 pounds. Good to see him out there, enjoying life! He's worked mighty hard.
