Fishing at Ketchikan

We went on a 4 hour private charter with Captain Bill from Strike Zone charters out of Knudson Cove, Ketchikan, AK. We had a good day!!! We caught 11 Pinks and 2 Chums. I caught both Chums and they were the largest. Pat caught the two largest Pinks. We each caught about the same number of fish. We were trolling and would alternate who would take the next strike. Even if we lost one, that person would keep taking the strikes until a fish was caught. In order for Captain Bill to land the fish, we would have to work them to the back corner of the boat. Sometimes the fish had other ideas. Captain Bill would keep telling Pat to "work with me here" so he could land her fish. We had the Chums smoked and the Pinks flash frozen. All in all, we wound up with 7 pounds smoked and 23 pounds of fresh frozen Salmon. They held the fish until we were home and then sent them to us.
