Great fishing for dear husband and his pals!

Western Outdoor News Tuna

Well, this posting is a little late, but I have to talk about my husband's latest fishing trip.

There isn't a lot of fishing to do in Southeast Alaska during winter. Sure, hardy souls can spend hours out in the snow and chilly rain searching for the elusive winter King Salmon, but it isn't exactly fun, at least not to those of us who prefer to stay warm and dry.

Every year my husband, his father, and a few friends fish in the Western Outdoor News Tuna Tournament in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Sometimes I tag along and do a little scuba diving, but other times, I choose not to. Besides, sometimes the guys need some time without the gals.

This year, I was saving money for the down payment on my husband's Harley-Davidson motorcycle so I chose not to go. Besides, you can only dive the same place so many times before you are ready for something new.

Wouldn't you know it that this is the year they placed in the tournament.

Congratulations, Dick White, Chris White (my beloved), Wayne Wilson and Mitch Falk on their 139.9 pound tuna, which placed 3rd in the 2007 Western Outdoor News Tuna Tournament.
