Ketchikan

Our first stop in Alaska was Ketchikan. While Mom was nice enough to baby sit Matthew at a lumberjack show Jamie and I along with Dad, Jacob, Meagan, Ben, and Dylan went deep sea bottom fishing. We were hoping to catch a halibut but we mostly caught rock fish and on sole. I enjoyed it but Jamie thought it was a waste of money. Captain Johnny Gilson of Experience One Charters showed us a great time as we snacked on smoked salmon and crackers. We were fishing right next to a small rocky island that attracted 10+ eagles all at once. It was a pretty site.

Jamie in front of the ship at the dock. It was really windy.

One of Jamie's rock fish as he pulled it in.

My first Alaskan fish! That is the captain in the background.

This is Jamie's sole fish. He caught 2 and I caught 4. Of course I caught more, that is the norm for us :)

The Catch. Dad got it shipped home to eat. Yum!
