Words can't describe this beauty so we'll let the picture do the talking. Let's just add that Shawn was EXTREMELY excited. Even the tour guide, a bearded grizzly Adam's of a man, hugged Shawn, and gave him a manly pat on the butt, just after he shot the king salmon in the head with an assault rifle. This was the prize of the trip.
Shawn had a great time with his mom, dad, and brother Jake, and they all reeled in some pretty big fish ranging between 30-40 lbs. They even got to do some pike fishing with a bow and arrow. I think it is safe to say that Shawn has fulfilled all of his manly urges in just one week. Now he's back to playing wrestle and playing dolls with Lyv.
Shawn said the view was amazing, and you can see by some of the incredible photos he took. This is Mt. McKinlay. They were about 100 miles northwest of Anchorage on the Kichatna River. Shawn had a great time, and was so glad to have the opportunity to share it with his family.

WOW!!!! Wade is super jealous of that fish...mostly because I hold the record for the biggest salmon caught in our family so far and he has a hard time with that. (we went out once and I caught a huge King he's never been able to live it down!)
Serisouly - that is a lot of fish. I'm glad he is back home with you now too.
And a boy! We happen to think boy, boy, girl, boy is the best combo! Glad everything looked good!
Holy cow!!!! I can't believe the size of that thing. You are such a nice wife...i would be totally MOSing.
OH MY GOODNESS! That thing is huge! He totally earned his man card for that one and can play dolls for a month now. :) And I'm with you on relying on the hubby when he gets home...it's really the only way I keep my sanity at times. We definitely need our other half to help!
Holy Mackrel or should I saw salmon? My mouth is watering thinking of all the yummy salmon dishes you will be cooking up. What an amazing trip Shawn got to go on! Kudos to you for holding down the fort! Hugs to everyone!
That looks unreal!!!! So fun he got to do that though!!
