    Holy cow; awesome pictures!

    My wife and I stayed at a B&B in Alaska several years ago. The guy who owned it used to be a commercial fisherman (before the Valdez oil spill) and he told us amazing stories of HUGE waves that would crash over the boat. I’m guessing they were like the ones on that web site.

    Reminds me of a hot summer weekend day on the Miss with all the cruisers churning it up to a froth.

    Yep you guys fishing the big pond have no excuse to not be out there when the wind kicks up. Compared to these fellows.

    Yeah, I guess there’s no reason to take my 19 footer out in weather like that. I mean the Edmund Fitzgerald was only 710 feet longer!
