Whale Channel

I spent Fathers day with my with pops on a fishing trip near B.C. Canada. We stayed on a floating lodge tucked back in a remote channel NW of B.C. Canada. The catch was as fresh as it gets! We flew into Seattle and then bused up to Vancouver. From there we took a commuter plane to a little town called Bella Bella. We then flew a sea plane from there and landed right on the ocean and docked at our lodge. It was pretty crafty weather the first day, but made for some memorable stormy fishing. The next 3 days we were up at 4 a.m. to start fishing and would fish until about 10 p.m. with a break for some gourmet dinners: fillet mignon, giant prawns, halibut, and salmon! We had been staying at the lodge with some uncles, a cousin, and their business associates. We were paired up in boats to do as we pleased. Rod and I spent a good portion of our time testing out new cameras and lenses, but still managed to reel in some big suckers. It was awesome to see the wildlife right up near our boats. Eagles, whales, seals, sea lions, and many more. Uncle Richard reeled in an 88 lb. halibut from 450 ft below! We managed to catch a couple of halibut, some big salmon, and a lil' shark! GOOOOD Eating! I had a blast with my dad fishing over fathers day and look forward to another trip with him and little Emerson.
