Best three hours of our entire Alaska trip. Every single person in our group caught a fish, and we landed somewhere between 10 and 12 total with 6 keepers. Kyle knows exactly where to put you.
The fishing was only half of it. Kyle is personable, full of great stories, and he read our group perfectly. One person hauled in a monster, the very next one reeled up a baby, and he turned it into a running joke we were still laughing about hours later. Nobody wanted it to end. Every one of us got off the boat saying we wished we had booked a longer trip.
The thing that stuck with me most, though, is who Kyle is off the water. Ketchikan recently lost two schools, which left a lot of local parents without childcare or education options. Kyle is working on opening a daycare to fill that gap, and he is taking no salary to do it, just so there is somewhere for young kids in his community to go. You do not run into that very often.
Book with Kyle. Great captain, better guy.
