Our mornings started at 5:30 am sharp.
We got up, dressed in our fish-crusted suspenders, inhaled breakfast, and were off to fish.
After all ,the mornings are the best time to fish!
Rise and Shine
Just a floatin'
...and fishing
...and baiting some hooks
...and catching some salmon
reeling, netting, driving, hooking, gashing
...and sometimes we caught them by the eyeballs
...and sometimes we caught really ugly ones (Rock Salmon)
...and one time I caught a shark, a baby shark.
The skiff would get really bloody and slimy...
...and sometimes we all end up slipping and falling on our bottoms-with the fish in the net. Providence.
You bet our laughter was heard all over the Pacific Ocean!
One time, my mommy caught the biggest catch of the week, weighing a whopping 20.1 Ib.s
The Dream Team
We caught fish, fish, & more fish
one day we caught 30 fish, the men called our bait the "single ladies bait" ha. Girl Power.
who needs college when you can fish? :)
...but sometimes we lost them
we reeked of fish for a week
all 42 of us
the company
Grandma & Grandpa
Emil, a dock boy, playing charades with us.
Steve Urkel?
We had company game nights after dinner every evening.
The Beautiful Eagles (My mom loved to photograph the Eagles)
The trip just "slipped" by like a slimy, pink salmon
Everything I own reeked of fish but nonetheless,
I adore everything about Alaska
Ahh! fun fun fun fun fun! you guys still looked like babes, covered in slime, blood, and overalls. i love this :)
