Mom took the kids so that Dad, Brent and I could take a Halibut Fishing Charter that our friends Hooky Charters booked for us.
Here's Dad checking out Homer, and the Captain Cook Inlet.
It was really foggy and Cloudy in Kenai. We were so excited to see a little bit of sunshine when we finally got into Homer.
Brent is READY to go fishing!
I just thought they were kind of cute checking out the docks together.
Inside the cabin of the Sizzler!, our illustrious fishing boat.
We really enjoyed the boat ride, we're all avid ocean lovers. (with just a little help from some Dramamine for me and Dad.)
Here they are again, looking so cute together. You'd almost think they were related. :)
My Dad with his perfect little dimple, and isn't the fishing hat so appropriate?
Getting ready to catch some Halibut!
Here you can see the 1st one my Dad brought up.
Reel Daddy Reel!
You can only keep 2 Halibut per day. But both Dad and Brent reeled in quite a few. I don't have great fishing skills, I definitely had the worst luck. I only threw one back. But they were so hard to reel in, by the time I would get one up to the boat I really felt like I deserved to keep it.
All of the Halibut were pretty small, only 12-15 lbs. Apparently we went to what they call a little "chicken hole" (You'd think it would be a halibut hole.... right?) So no trophy's but man it was fun. Everyone on the boat went home with 2. And they do taste better when they're a little smaller.
You've got to admit, that's a lot of Halibut. We sure had a good time!

Isn't Halibut a fabulous fish! You would never know by looking at them they are so ugly!
You know Dad's perfect little dimple is actually a scar from when he was a little boy. He was crossing the ditch trying to follow his older brothers and he slipped and jabbed a stick through his cheek.
Wow!! that looks like a blast!!! Something to always remember...that is big buck if you ordered all that at a restraunt;0)
oh yummmm... you just made me wish i was in alaska!!!
Looks like you guys had a great time. I love halibut, my new favorite way to have it is grilled with mango salsa....which reminds me, I want to get Brent's recipe for salmon.
