Alaska Chronicles: Mission Complete - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

nickc5 · 07-01-2015, 08:42 PM

Since I was literally on the go everyday, haven't had time to post much on the forum. But damn, what a trip! Alaska should be on everyone's bucket list and especially since Rudy, aka Kardinal_87, is a fellow BWE member.

All I can say is that Rudy made my trip. Though I went at an off time, I was finding myself BENT every single day. I am forever grateful and plan to make Alaska a yearly excursion from this point forward.

I'd get more into detail, but since everyone mainly looks at my posts, I'll let my fishing do the talking.

Took home over 80lbs of fish. That was just one box of 48 pounds.

The highlight was Rudy's son pulling in the biggest fish of the trip. Seeing the excitement on his face was priceless.

Slayed the butts, sockeye salmon, few Alaska sculpin, world class rainbows, and dolly varden. I couldn't be more of a happy camper.

Much appreciated Rudy! I'll be back soon.

Nick, it was a dang pleasure to mean ya bro! Sorry about putting ya on the water for crazy number of hours that first day out. lol. But you passed the test. No wimps allowed!

I really appreciated the way you worked with my 10 yer old son Ryu. I can tell you have experience as a teacher.

That last fish made my sons YEAR. It's the talk of the town really on facebook, the news channels Pic of the day section, and the local forums. I think the last time I Checked, the video I posted directly to Facebook had something like 15,000 views. It would not have happened without you and for that I will forever be grateful.

Well now ya know what it's like. You came at the worst possible time in summer and you still caught some good fish. That's impressive. So now its time to start planning for the peak times depending on your interest! Let' do it again!!!!
