Kevin’s ‘But is Bigger than My ‘But

Last weekend Kevin, Scott, and I went to Salmon Bay, which is off of Prince of Wales Island, and fished. And fished and fished.

When we weren’t fishing (and actually a lot of times when we were), we were eating, drinking, looking at ridiculous testosterone-filled magazines (that may or may not have brought us luck, but certainly made for some good conversation), playing Scrabble (or rather I was playing Scrabble – Kevin and Scott were putting tiles on the board that spelled basic three- and four-letter words), and enjoying the natural surroundings.

We were going for salmon and halibut, but as luck would have it, the halibut were biting but the salmon were not.

I ended up catching four halibut and keeping three. Here are the first two I caught:


While you may think my ‘buts look good, take a look at Kevin’s:


Kevin’s fish weighed in right around 90 lbs. A harpoon and a gun had to be used on that one – intense.
