My Dad and Peter were invited to go on a Deep Sea Salmon fishing expedition while we were in Sitka. While I was excited for them, the thought of my "little" boy out on the ocean slightly unnerved me. However, I kept my mouth shut since it was after all a "good experience". I just hope that their expedition would be fun and incident free. It was fun and ended up being one of the highlights of the vacation for both my father and my son! It was not free of incident, but the "incidents" were positive ones. As they would say around here "They caught a big 'un!" They really did!
Peter's line was hit first and while he was "fighting the fish"my Dad's struck. Dad reeled his in first and was thrilled to see that he go a 28 lb. King Salmon! Peter soon "stole his thunder" with a 36-37 lb one! Dad didn't care though: he was so thrilled for both of them! Their boat guide told them that people have been fishing those waters for 20 years and never have caught a big one like Peter's!
