We finally made it out to our deep sea destination about 40 miles off the coast and the good times began. We were fishing for kingfish, which are big time fighters and apparently take off going about 30 mph when they get hooked. This guy took me about 20 minutes to bring in.
One angry fish bit Ian on the ankle. He also later got bit on the hand after sticking his fingers in its mouth.
After a nice day at sea, we all caught our limit and headed back to camp at the beach. We grilled our prized catch over an open fire and headed home the next day with about 60 pounds of fish filets between us. Good times were had by all.

Man, that looks fun -minus the seasickness. You guys are living quite the life. I'm glad to see that you're taking advantage of so many things around you. I've always wanted to do that--maybe I'll go to Alaska.
You'll have to come up here and do some fishing sometime. It's actually very well known for the awesome fishing in the area. Anyway, Ian doesn't seem like the brightest if he didn't learn from the first bite he got. Shessh.
Those are some big fish you caught. Being a seafood hater I have a hard time understanding how you could possibly enjoy eating them. But it looks like you all had a fun time. I didn't know you ever had problem with seasickness though. I think Ericka might be lying about the great fishing in Leaf Rapids just to get a visitor.
