We thought Dick might have a money fish here with just an hour or two to go to weigh in ... but alas, it fell a few ounces short ... but still one heckuva fish and fight! Not to mention the muddy romp through the tideflats to get him to Corey's truck and back to the weigh-in!



The day after the derby found us out on play day again ... me, Fishgal and her Mom & Dad out for one more day on the "Barney Boat". Getting close to term and Corey's still chasin the bigguns!



Since I can't fish with clients, it's my rare chance to have a rod in my hand. With the rain a pourin', it feels like I'm steelie fishing rather than king fishing:



With double digit fish already to the boat ... this one looked like a perfect eater to end the day on:



July 31, last day of king season. All of 3-4 boats on the river for the evening tide. One of our July guides, Steve had a load of buddies down and found this magnificent buck right at high:




Jerri finished up our season with this nice buck a few minutes later as the sun sets on another Alaska king season:



And one last full rack shot of the year ... now it's time for silvers!!
