Expectations like: catching the biggest fish of my life, a solid swell at an Alaskan point break, a boat load (literally) of halibut, and of course, getting a close encounter with a grizzly bear (I think 15 yards is close enough, don’t you?). Anyway, not to disappoint, Alaska stepped up and gave me all of these things and more. After it was all said and done, I couldn’t believe that trips like these work out so magically. It almost seemed like someone scripted some of the scenes. Remember that evening session at Point Carrew, Pat?
