"Fishing Anonymous"

I know, I know...MORE fish stories? Here's the thing..my memories as a young girl and fishing are simply us on the boat..Dora (sister) fishing with my mom and David (mom's ex boyfriend) and ME..tanning on the top of the boat. Me fishing..non-existent, period.
Since coming to AK, I have become an addict. I knew I had a problem at the end of last season when I thought hours on end fishing was going to kill me with boredom, and then after 8 hours and no roe left, I found myself scrounging off the ground trying to get enough on for another bite. PATHETIC!
Anyway, it's a new season and I went on the 10th of July with some friends out to Seward. There were 568,827, 122 boats out there (I counted) and it was CRAZY! I was CRAZY. I was on a boat with 4 other people and for the first two hours, I was the only one catching fish left and right! We were out there all day and I seriously felt a deep sadness when we headed in..even though I caught tons of fish. What's wrong with me you ask?? I told you...I'm an addict. (Side note: the sad face picture you see was a huge fish I had on..and it got away)
