I’m on a journey to fish in every state. 

State 25 Alaska

Part 2

I had to make this halibut trip a separate post because of how crazy it was. We were told that halibut fishing would be slow because of how there was not a lot of current. 

My dad hooked into a big fish and with how it was fighting it was thought to be a skate. After reeling in for 40 minutes we were finally able to see that it was a giant halibut. Soon after, 2 more decent sized halibut were brought into the boat. There was no way that we would beat that. But the last fish that was reeled in was even bigger than my dad’s halibut. 

You would hear this story and not believe it so here are the pictures. 

Last picture is some halibut blood on my face after drinking a beer off my dad’s halibut tail. Also known as a butt chug.

This year was a bittersweet end to my 20s. I had the best year of my life and here are some of the highlights. 

🎣 I fished in 18 states. (19 if you count Colorado but I want to save it as my last state in my 50 states series). I met anglers all throughout the country and learned more than I ever could about fishing. My 2 favorite states were of course Florida and Minnesota. 
🌺 I traveled to some of the most beautiful places in the country. My favorites being Hawaii and the Florida Keys. 
💻 I work a fulfilling job remotely that allows me to travel to all these places all year long. 
💪 Completed my first bulk confidently and have the most positive relationship with my body. 
Honorable mention: Took my dad out fishing and watched him catch his biggest fish and having him tell me it was the best fishing trip he has been on. 

If anyone in their 20s is reading this, the best advice I can give is live your life, make mistakes, figure out what you want to be when you grow up. Heck I am still figuring it out. You might feel like you’re falling behind in life but you are not. 

Thanks to all who have followed along my journey. 

I don’t know how I am going to top it next year but I sure as heck am going to try. 

✨Here’s to 30✨

I’m on a journey to fish in every state. 

State #10 New York

I did not get the chance to get out on the water as much as I wanted to but upstate New York was unforgettable. We stayed on Lake Champlain and what a beautiful place it is. We even made it to a cute little apple orchard. 

I made it up to Chazy Lake and caught some smallmouth on a finesse jig. I spent a little time on a kayak out on Lake Champlain but the fish were just too smart for me. On our way out of the state, we stopped to fish under a couple bridges, which is one of my favorite places to catch fish. 

Evan fished his first EQ and was fishing in six foot waves. He’s not thrilled about how he placed but he is eager to get to his second EQ at Wheeler Lake in just a week. See you soon, Alabama!
