Went to a wedding and...

I caught a fish!  I guess it wasn't a wedding but it was one of those get remarried/reaffirm vows kinda thing.  No matter....

So the ceremony is supposed to start at 3pm in front of Blackstone Glacier from a boat.  A buddy of mine is there as well and he has shrimp pots down and wants to check them.  I hitch a ride to Blackstone Bay (where the glacier is) and have him drop me off. 

Nothing crazy but hooked maybe 5 or 6 rockfish waiting for the ceremony to start. One was a really nice 24.5 inch yelloweye rockfish.  Decent size for being so close to port.   

I saw more whales than fish, maybe a dozen in the 3 hours I fished.  One pod came so close that i could smell their "breath".  Halitosis to the max....nasty.

But what a great time.  How often you get to go to a ceremony like that in a kayak...in front of a glacier...and catch a 24.5 inch rockfish!?!?!?!?!  Life is GOOD! 

My outback comes TUESDAY!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO!

Nice Report Kard! Monster rockfish! sure is beautiful up there.

Got to get up to AK next year and do some yak fishing!
