I was just thinking about a previous post about someone getting struck by lightning in the Amazon peacock bass fishing and it sounded like a Jeremy wade story to me so I figured see what kind of responses I would get
Yeah, that would be me. Step on a sting ray the next day too. Wearing ugly ass Crocs saved my butt both times.
I actually leave tomorrow to hunt big river fish in Alaska, if the weather doesn't screw me (tight connections). I should fly into Anchorage tomorrow, spend a night there and then fly about 300 miles north west to Aniak. Fish there for a day and then go 50 miles up river for 6 days.
I'll be targeting 11 species, so gear packing is a nightmare. Bringing 1 paino box, 4 rods, 5 reels, and an assortment of lines. I actually think I may look more forward to the pike fishing than than salmon the fishing. But that will probably change once I get there.
Can't wait! Just hope my gear gets there when I do and in one piece.
