    Saw everything from sea otters, humpback whales and porpoise to eagles and ospreys. Overall was a hundred mile run from Valdez to Hitchenbrook Island. Logistically a nightmare to pull off...resulting in a epic coastal adventure. Thought I would show some of the gear used. Those lures in the 5 gallon bucket range from 10 oz to 24 oz not including the additional 8 oz to 60 oz weights tide/current dependent. The large reels are loaded with 1500 yards of 100 lb braided line.

    Very cool. Love the gear. What were you fishing for? Any luck?

    When I see those kind of pictures I always wonder how could anyone NOT want to live there.
