It's a dirty job, but someones gotta do it.

Well after catching 350 fish... we had to clean, gut, skin, fillet and vacuum pack 350 fish! Whew... that was an all day job! But wow the fruits of our labour are amazing. Fresh Alaskan Salmon!
Ray and Kotah flew in to visit us while we were dip netting. We could not leave the last day of dip netting to pick them up at the airport because the fish had finally hit hard. We had a friend (thanks Chablis, and Gentri) pick them up from the airport and drop them off at our apartment so they could drive our car and meet us in Kenai. Well there were 2 huge wrecks the day they drove to see us and the road was closed until 6 the next morning. They were stuck between the two wrecks so they could not do anything but sleep in the car that night! Such a sad welcome!
We finally met up with them the next day in Seward. They came right in time to help us with all the cleaning and gutting. Once again such a sad welcome... but they were awesome for helping us!!
The men, discussing important matters...

Lance and Miki
