"The Old Man and the Sea" is the greatest book ever written. This story reminds me of the time I camped alone at the mouth of Glacier Bay and was awakened by the sound of a gun. I looked out the tent to see a little skiff pulling in a big halibut and I sleepily thought, "I bet they never make the mistake of shooting the fish once it's in the boat."

I’ve heard the Atlantic population is starting to come back, but the idea of catching those brutes within sight of shore in AK is a dream of mine too.
