Ivory King Finale. Content Warning.
Setting: Adak Island, Alaska 1956 The taste of the white fleshed chinook never left Caleb's mind. He greatly anticipated the end of winter so he could attempt to catch another one. However he would have to wait a little while before he could get back out there since a heavy storm battered the island. Anything that was left outside was either destroyed or swept away by the storm. If Caleb hadn't fastened a metal cage to the side of the shipping container, that was his home, he would have surely lost all his firewood and froze to death. And because of the island's limited resources, he would have to travel to Adak Island to gather the supplies he needed to rebuild everything.

Striped Bass and Halibut Fishing. Content Warning.
A few weeks ago, I went fishing in the San Francisco Bay. It was the first time I had done anything hunting or fishing related in over 5 months. Which is way too long for me. I went with my father and a small group of guys I have been fishing with for a number of years. I was really looking forward to the trip. Not only because I had been away from my passion for a long time but because I had been having a rough few months in my personal life and I needed something to lift my spirit. Hunting and fishing has always been able to do just that.
