Several years ago I was fishing out of the Anchor river with a buddy .  We were fishing on the other side of Cook Inlet along a drop in about 120'.  We had caught 5 or 6 spiny tail dog fish and decide that we would pullu anchor and move if we caught another.  The next fish was a 50 pounder.  I then caught a 179 and next time down hooked the big one.  It ended up weighing 281lbs.  I have a cool photo somewhere of me laying next to it.  I am just shy of 6'6" and the fish was longer.  These two fish fed my brother's wedding rehearsel dinner.  This past summer I caught one out in PWS while jigging for rock fish with a salmon rod and a buzz bomb.  It went 208 lbs.  Awesome fight!  The drag on that avent reel is amazing.  I highly recomment it.  On the way back to Whittier, I hit a submerged chunk  of drift wood and lost a lower unit.  I limped back to the harbor under darkness, but the smile never left my face.  Lower units are replaceable, memories like that don't happen every day.
