My husband and I went on a fantastic fishing experience with "Alaska King Charter" with owner/captain William Baghoomian when we were at Ketchikan, Alaska.
We booked at the last minute and met with William near the dock. William had said that the Salmon fishing hadn't been great but we'd give it a go. At first my husband and I were a little concerned but that soon changed. We tried one spot with no luck and then moved on. While getting to the second spot we surprised by a visit from a Humpback whale.
During the boat ride and fishing there was plenty to talk about.
The second spot was a hit. I caught the first Coho Salmon ( the biggest), my husband then brought up a king salmon ( which was thrown back in as it was small). A few minutes later the fish line whirred and my husband had another fish on line then my rod bent so now we have two fish. I brought up a rock fish and my husband brought up a beautiful Coho ( not as big as mine though lol).
We discussed the possibility of having them shipped back home to Canada but with customs they may have gone bad before we received them.
William responded that he would fillet them and throw a couple on the grill and bring them to our hotel. Well William more than delivered grilled Salmon. He brought us a whole meal of potatoes, carrots, parsnips all wrapped in tinfoil and still hot.
What a host.
William was friendly, professional, ethical with his catches, very informed about the area and wild life. I would highly recommend his fishing charter for anyone and everyone.
Thank you William for creating a fantastic adventure and memory.
