Thought I'd give this photo my brother sent to me a try.


Hey! It worked.... but only on new posts. All the old ones still display my 2003 Kenai king.

Nice shot!

I know the old trick of holding the fish out to make it look bigger in the pictures, but flexing to make your guns look bigger????

Might as well test mine too.

That is a beamy Chinook!

Actually, I did not catch this king... my brother did. I got to do the honors of reviving and releasing her to go forth and procreate more of her kind. I love the feel of that tail pumping in my grip as the fish regains its strength, then watching a big king like that swim away... too cool!

BTW the angle that pic was taken really exaggerates the size of the fish. It was only about a 36-38 pound hen. Will post a side view later.

Nice pic, little bit better grip with the latex? I have been meaning to ask you what you think of your digital camera now that you have used it for a while been looking for a shop that carries Pentax and so far no luck might have to order one online but I would rather purchase in person.

Here's a more "standard" view of that chrome hen, definitely one of the prettiest fish of the trip:

Tall's camera carries the Pentax. Bought one for my daughter last Christmas at Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood. She's a diehard skier and even goes flyfishing with me. So far the camera has survived and takes great pictures.

Last pic of the fish in the net is my favorite.
Wow!

your pictures are very nice, how many mega pix is your camera?

The Pentax Optio 43WR is 4 MP.

I can't say enough good things about this camera for the active outdoorsman who spends any time in or around water.

BTW what I post on the net (only 640 pixels wide) is no where near the quality of the full size image at 2200 pixels wide.... these images only contain 1/12th of the pixels of the original!

This angle shows just how "beamy" these hens get:



Can you say W-I-D-E-B-O-D-Y jumbo jet? This rotund hen was absolutely loaded with eggs! Fish like this truly are the motherships carrying the river's precious cargo.

Nice cohos, Doc!

Ya got to admit it Doc, Park's got an awesome sence of humor.

Me thinks Doc knows I'm just having some fun.

I'm just hoping that Doc is over in AK during the time that I will be there next summer! Bob is letting me back on his barge next July!
