In 1993 we (my Family) came to Anchorage for a two-week trip. Staying with relatives and traveled around seeing the sites of Fairbanks, Tok, and Valdez. I was in amazement at the glaciers, moose running wild along the roadsides. We had wolves running across the road, a black bear in Valdez, the fishing boats in the harbor, it was amazing. My brother-in-law (Harry) set up a fishing trip out of Homer AK. We drove down the day before and stayed in a motel. I was so excited, like a kid in a candy store. I had trouble sleeping that evening and as soon as Harry rose from his slumber. I was after him to head for the harbor. We arrive at the fishing charters only to be told the boat had been overbooked. The charter company realized what had happened and they started calling other captains in the area. We were so lucky, a captain said he would take us fishing. Just the Captain, Harry, and I, usually the boats wouldn’t take just two customers, as the fuel costs wouldn’t cover the costs. This turned out to be a great trip. I caught a 150 lb. halibut yielding 94 lbs. of meat. What could have been a bad day turned into a great day
