Hey guys - Going to make this brief...I have a bachelor party to attend.

I mated for my father today. Great Day!!!

We loaded the boat w/ 3 totes of pollock right of the bat. Doubles, Triples, up to 20lbs.

Then we made our way over to a whale show...absolutely UNREAL. Haven't seen a frenzy like that in a while.

It was slim pickins after that. The bite kind of died. We landed a couple nice cod, haddock, and a few more pollock.

We landed a nice wolfish too, about 20lbs. Sent him on his way after a few pictures.

Right after that, we caught and released a small little Halibut. Pretty cool! My first time ever seeing one on the boat.

Also, more importantly....ah well forget it, you guys will all here the news soon enough.... I don't want to spoil things.

P.S - Received a little present from King Sail yesterday. I likey.
