Before we hit the alagnak we did a warm up day on the kenai.

We hit a coho spot and Peter got hooked up before we got out of the drift boats.

I got in on the action and picked up a couple of silvers for dinner.

Luke and I got in on the action as well. We went back to the kenai and the Russian after our float and stayed at Gwen's at Cooper Landing. It was nice to be in a warm cabin and have hot meals after fishing.

It was good fun catching bows on the egg drop. We got fat dollies as well and enjoyed the action. We lost some big fish and hooked some close to the 30 inch benchmark, but did not get photos due to bad net jobs and various breakoffs and mishaps. But we stioo got many quality fish.

Ron said he had caught this fish before, we nicknamed him scar.

It was a great trip and Ron did a great job putting it all together for us. Alaska is a true wilderness and can't wait to get back.
