YAAAAHOOOOOO!!!

Ah yes, on a cold, wet wintery night, you sometimes have to reflect on some of the warm, fish-filled days of yore. I just stumbled onto this picture from my guiding days in Alaska. Man, those were some good times — ripping down tiny creeks in a jet boat, sliding around the turns (check out the lean that the guys have going), dodging trees, gravel bars and moose (while holding the camera!). All that after catching a bunch of kings, rainbows and grayling.

Ah, I feel better already!
