Sorry for the long delay. Here is the full story on my Misty Fjords 2012 trip!
After posting my first day report I was approached to write out the full story for Kayak Fishing Magazine. I couldn't say no. I had forgotten to post it up for you guys until Howard announced the dates for 2013. So please enjoy my telling of the adventure I had this summer in Alaska.

The rest of the story ....

and a teaser pic just for fun ....

Great write up Bill. That's classic both of you fighting the same halibut. I love that place.
