So I got back from Alaska yesterday and really want to go back. My buddy is a pilot up there in kodiak so I went to visit him. I had a fucking blast. Shot my first deer up there. A 210 pound 6 point buck. Had some trouble taking off in my buddies super cub airplane. It's meant to only have 650 pounds in it and with us and the deer we had 630 pounds and thata without the 80+ pounds of gear we had. Other than that I caught 15 coho salmon, 1 36 pound king salmon, about 40 pink salmon, 5 chum salmon, 7 sockeye salmon, and 4 dolly varden trout. I only brout home the coho, king snd sockeye home but it was still close to 200 pounds of fish. We also did some fishing for cod, halibut, and rockfish which we caught a lot of but didn't keep any. I saw about 40 mountain goats when we were flying around in my buddies cessna float plane. Saw close to 10 kodiak bears and almost lost a couple fish to a huge kodiak fishing about 40 feet from us. Also saw a group of around 60 sea otters and 1 fin whale and way too many puffins. I drank too much and ate way too well. I slept for 16 hours straight when I got home and I can't wait to go back. Other than that my wife is almost 8 months pregnaunt and I'm counting the days till our little guy gets here.
