Alaska Fishing July 08

I just got back from Alaska last week. It was everything I expected it to be and then some. We caught lots of fish, saw Alaskan wildlife, and breathed a ton of fresh, clean air! We also worked are butts of trying to film a portion of a new fishing commercial for Sportsman's Warehouse. It worked out. Check out the bear photos, we got some good ones!










These bears would come down to the mouth of a small river to check if the Sockeye salmon were running up river yet. The salmon were late and you could tell the bear were impatient. We saw 9 or 10 different bears and shot hundreds of photos. It was fun to see them so close. (20 yards!)

Our catch at Seward. The guy in the Middle of this photo is John Beck, Quarterback for the Miami Dolphins.- also former BYU quarterback. John was a really down-to-earth nice guy!

We were headed out of Anchorage to our fishing destination, I looked over and told Joe "I just saw the Angel Moroni". He gave me a funny look. I laughed and explained to him that it must have been the Anchorage LDS Temple. We pulled over and got some pictures. It was cool!

We only saw the sun a couple of times on this trip.

This was our trip to the grocery store. We caught some big ones and came home with a lot of Halibut!
