This is like a banana split!

The combo of fishing, shrimping, and bear hunting, boating, and camping all in one.

What a triple treat!

Awesome trip and fun time!
Thanks for sharing.

I know fresh halibut is my absolute favorite.

Once was on a sailing trip with a bunch of others, and someone caught a ~50lb halibut. Within a half hour, we were grilling it up for everybody. Folks pulled out their beers, best wine, fresh vegetables, many broke out the grills ... and we chowed down.

Nothing like fresh halibut 30mins out of the water and grilled to perfection. Yum.

To be honest they had tags but weren't super interested in killing a bear. As AK residents they get like 6 harvest tickets a year for black bear so in their minds if they wanted to kill a bear they were just gonna go shoot one behind the house. If we had seen anymore real big bears they would have shot one. My buddy did pass on one smaller maybe 200lb bear one morning after debating whether or not to kill him for like 10 minutes. Both the other guys were really interested in stocking up on fish and shrimp for the freezer since they both had tons of moose left and didn't really need the bear meat. So while they were really excited for me and taking my first bear they didn't put a ton of effort into shooting anymore of them.
