Off to Alaska

[StarOfGlory]

Taking a two-week trip to Alaska starting tomorrow. One of the reasons is that I have a bucket list of 50 different fish to catch before my time is up. 45 of those of those fish are checked. I have never caught a halibut, and I intend to check that off the list. That will leave me with next year's trip to the Amazon to catch an arapaima and red-tailed catfish. After that, only a golden dorado (Argentina) and Great White will remain on the list.

when going after the great white, be careful about who catches who....

Don’t get eaten by a polar bear!

Oh, it is illegal to purposely fish for a great white everywhere around the world. It requires certain research permits to do so.

No fish list is complete without a Crappie or 2

One of the first fish I ever caught!

You can catch the Red tailed Catfish in Florida.
This guy has some monsters he has caught in ponds and canals.

That’s under “controlled” conditions. I want the Amazon experience. I live in Florida most of the year. There are a few ponds stocked with large invasive species that you can fish for a hefty fee.

Using my academic contacts to go out on a research vessel in the Gulf.

That's a pretty impressive #. Golden Dorado has always been one I'd really like to fish as well. I've still got white sturgeon on my list. I've fished for them 3 times in Idaho on the Snake with my brother in law. He caught one each trip and I got blanked.

You should try noodling for great whites.
