July is definitely here. The fishing has been getting better and the average size has been picking up.
Above you'll see a photo of Joe, Kevin, Mike, and Parker. These guys booked 4 half days of king fishing. They experienced the gamut of what it takes to catch a king on the Kenai. On one trip we'd catch a few, on another none. We'd catch a small fish, and then a nice one. We'd miss a strike, then we had one snap off on a rock......Sorry Mike, it may have been the biggest one of the week! More often than not there was a lot of waiting around for a bite.
On our final trip it all came together and 4 nice Kenai kings were brought to the boat in short order. They're patience and perseverance was definitely rewarded. Jane and I have always said that everyone has an opportunity to catch a king on a single trip. However, the more "saddle time" you put in the more likely you'll run into a "trip of a lifetime." Great going guys and I know your first trip to Alaska will not be your last.

Awesome photo. I want to get up there as soon as possible to catch one of those big dogs.
Looks like they averaged 40-45 lbs.

Rattlesnake Bob's group will outdo this, I hope next week.
