When we went to Alaska, I had my eye on seven IGFA records that were in our realm of possibilities. I managed three of the seven and had my heart broken on the one that got away. Found out today, the records are pending. Now, the waiting game begins!

Thanks, FishyB.
Had great help and support. The Coho, which I thought would not happen and ended up being the first one, had me bowing like I was catching Tarpon. Even though the barb was pinched, I gave him lots of slack. The pinks kept slicing my line on their humps. The Dolly was just good luck, because it was in a fast current and decided on its own to move out of the current. Light class tippets are a lot of fun, a little frustrating, and really give a sense of accomplishment.
