Leo Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 For those of you allergic to clicking Album links. Great trip! My biggest silver salmon. My wife's biggest silver salmon. My biggest halibut. What I took home. One of the ever present eagles watching over us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Awesome pics! Thanks for posting them! The salmon are starting to run a little here, a few more weeks and it's game on. Congrats on the success and the amazing trip you had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Thanks folks, Just a precautionary tip. If you visit Steve B. in Alaska. Don't touch anything on his walls!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Is it possible to take a bad photo in Alaska? Thanks for sharing Leo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Is it possible to take a bad photo in Alaska? Thanks for sharing Leo. My wife and I took over 750 photos there on three different cameras. I'm gonna be going through them for a long time. Some are definitely better than others. This is one of my favorite scene shots (you have to stay up late to get a summer twilight picture in Alaska!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Very cool pics Leo! Glad you guys had a great time. Love the twilight one! Always been fascinated with the north. Where I am we will have twilight until around 11pm in June. I have many clients in northern Canada (Nunavut) as high as Clyde River which is probably close to 2000 miles north of here. And to think Miami FL is 1800 miles. Puts it into perspective how far north that really is. Someday I will travel up there, the Inuit people are very friendly! (Nunavut is government assisted and is prohibited to alcohol). People who go up there to work make some serious cash. But need to put up with frigid climates and wind since you are in the Baffin Islands which is all tundra, no trees, in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. So I'm talking windchills breaking the -100F mark in the winter with no light. Sure makes up for it in the summer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yep Shaun there is just so much North Country. It boggles the mind. I found this the day we picked up Steve at the airport after he was released from the hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I can't believe I was there the same time (in ketch. one day) but would have been nice to meet up! Hind sight...Steve was in the hospital then! Would love to go back when the samon are running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
