| Karlee Winkelman with her personal best halibut at Dutch Harbor, Alaska. |
Airs the weeks of February 24 and May 26
A quick little quiz to see if you were with us last week and paying attention.
Name the island chain that stretch from the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska, nearly to Siberia. Collectively, they form the border between the Pacific Ocean and Bearing sea. V.o. Very good--the Aleutian Islands.
Now, which port town, on one of those islands, was home to a major military base during WWII? We spoke of crabbing…commercial fishing…and of course, sport angling being primary industries there today.
Right again! Dutch Harbor, Alaska—a magical place where so many of the things we’ve all heard about since childhood come to life each and every day.
Previously, we shared four days of incredible running-and-gunning for gigantic Pacific halibut--one-of-which, I might add, nearly had us screaming “little girl overboard.”
Ultimately, Karlee whipped that butt’s butt, enabling us to move onto another type of ocean fish we were hoping to catch—black bass or technically speaking…black rockfish. Three different types inhabit the waters around Dutch harbor, a big one’ll go about 5 pounds, they do share a resemblance with largemouth and smallmouth bass and on
Big butts, more black bass and wading for pinkies in paradise are in store this week!
