Teach a Man to Fish...

It seem it takes visitors to get us to do some of the activities around our home. Yesterday, we charted a boat to take us fishing. The 5 of us...Lori, me, Annika, Anneka, and Mike did an afternoon trip with Sitka Secrets charters. In addition to us there was another gentleman there to fish. We went about 17 miles out from Sitka to bob around in the water. The trip out and back were no problems, but all that bouncing around got Anneka and Lori really sick and eventually me to. Mike and Annika did just fine.
Only Mike and I fished. I ended up with a 15 lb king salmon, while Mike had a 2 silver salmons, a king, and a rock fish. We had no rain, but the rough water(at least to us) was tough. I hadn't puked in almost 20 years...so I'm quite bummed.
The captain of the boat also stopped on the way back to show us a group of sea otters floating in a group and tried to get close to a puffin, but it kept diving.
We had them cut us a filet of one of the king salmons and then sent the rest off for professional processing. Mike and Anneka will take some back to Utah with them. We had the one filet for dinner and boy was it good. Lori commented that she had never had eaten fish that fresh.
