Our first day fishing the Spring King Salmon Derby
the month of May in Juneau, Alaska from our skiff...
 |
| A nice deer we happened upon while driving out the road... |
 |
| What a beautiful day to be out on the water... |
 |
| Impatiently waiting for that elusive King Salmon to bite the hook... |
 |
| A single Marbled Murrelet... |
 |
| I caught the first King Salmon of the day (about 17 lbs.)... |
 |
| Max caught the next King Salmon (over 40 lbs. in the round)... |
 |
| A Land Otter (or sometimes called River Otter) keeping an eye on us... |
 |
| This Marbled Murrelet just surfaced after feeding on herring... |
 |
| A Scoter riding the surf swell... |
 |
| Max holding up the 1st Place King Salmon (he held the lead until 5-30-11)... |
 |
| The King Salmon per regulations are required to be dressed before weighing them in... |
 |
 |
| Max weighing in his King Salmon at Jerry's Meats... |
 |
| It was one huge King Salmon... |
 |
| Compared to mine ;) |
 |
| This shows what a difference a few pounds make between our two king salmon... |
 |
| Max was one happy fisherman... |
 |
| Our King Salmon on ice (Max's fish barely fits in this large cooler ;)... |
 |
| Our lil' Miss Chelsey was happy to finally have us home from our long day of fishing... |
This was one heck of a day fishing, and in the great company of my husband. It was a bonus that we were both able to catch King Salmon - even though his was quite a bit larger than mine ;)
