Our jobs often lead us into great opportunities. That and the fact that for a big city, Anchorage is still a pretty small town. Amy has a couple of patients who also happen to be neighbors. Luckily, they are very generous people who love to fish. We were invited to join them for a day of halibut fishing in Ressurection Bay. The captain took us to his "secret honey hole" about a 4 hour boat ride out of Seward harbor. We were all alone out in the middle of the ocean with about 15 other charter boats. Despite the cold, over cast gloom, and the 6 ft seas (not bad for this part of the world) the whole boat limited out in less than an hour. They were all "chickens", but it was enough to fill the freezer for the season. Chris even caught a couple of ling cod (out of season, so we had to throw them back), and discovered that cod are, in fact, uglier than the 'butt ugly' halibut!
