Here is a picture of the Famous Alaskan Buddy Kirk and Famous Fisherman Bob Danforth..... Enjoyed a great time with Buddy, talking about old times and the things he has been up to in the last 40 plus years...He wants to retire soon and then go into teaching at the local university and enjoy life at a more slower pace...He seems to enjoy his work and all the people he is involved with.....[Fish and Wildlife Management].... We broke bread in a local eatery and had a good time talking about my fishing that I had done while I was there.. Look for these pictures next.. Got an email from Buddy talking about how his salmon put on a better pull than our Redfish in Florida [ redfish pull harder Buddy ,,, Sorry!!!! ] My trip to Alaska was great, 1st week was beautiful , sunny and temps around 75 during the day and low 50 at night...great for sleeping..2nd week was rainy all week and some what cooler than the first week.......Saw lots of great views and plenty of fish to go fishing for and yes...we did catch some ..pictures to come soon.. Bye for now Bob
