Says Tom Fielder, "My friend Tom Mescher caught this 156 lb Halibut in
Sitka on June 10, 1999, aboard Reel Affair charters with Captain Tim Twaddle."
 


My wife Phyllis caught this 58lb King Salmon on a recent trip to Sitka,
Alaska. Just coming off surgery she needed a little help from our
captain Timmy Twaddle of Reel Affair Charters. With his help she got the
fish in in just under one hour.  The big lug holding up the fish is me.

My son and caught these two fat boys on a recent trip to the East Cape.
Mine, the one on the left, weighed in at 70 lbs and damned near killed me
in 99 degree temps it took me 40 minutes on 50 lb test. My son Ken's fish
weighed in at 108 lbs and took him 45 minutes on 80 lb test.  Both fish
were caught on blue and white hoochies about 10 minutes apart. We stayed
at the Rancho Beuna Vista Hotel. These were the only two fish we caught
that day but it was worth it. Before the trip was over we got about ten
more Yellow Fin between 30 and 55 lbs and two stripe marlin both about
50 kilos. It was a memorable trip.
