Aleutian Grocery Shopping

Went late night shopping at the Aleutian grocery store. I know it doesn't look like late night, but it was 10pm and I'm exhausted today. It was hard work but well worth it. Didn't get done processing until after midnight but hey, this is a 100 pound halibut!!! (58.5").  With about 75 pounds of edible meat, needless to say, I'm a happy fisher!

Halibut Fishing and Humpback Whale Watching

The boat ride yesterday was awesome.  We saw at least 5 or 6 Humpback Whales breaching the water a few miles out.  Eventually a calf and mama got close enough for a quick show.  Below you can see the calf breaching halfway out of the water with mama by its side.  







smallest one was 10 pounds and the largest was 40 pounds!  Not a a bad haul for the day as we limited out.  At $25/lb in the grocery store, we just saved a tone of money by catching our own fish.
