Hi Kil,

If this is you or somebody you know, please go on Allcoast and clear up the confusion.
Thanks,
Your Left Coast Jig Slingin' Pal.

Three King Islands are truely one of the last frontiers in the world.

I though that was you hiding behind that monster

yea that's the celebrity.. Kil, even though there are different species, how would you compare Three Kings and Alaska (today or 20 to 30 years ago)? Are there tons of fish?? I need to experience an amazing fishing trip!!

That one seems to have been happy to see Kil.

The fish was estimated at 110 lbs, but the mate was so strong he lifted the fish and gave it to me for the picture.

-another nice giant seabass caught by the mate

No, it was on bait. We had a contest between Capt and mate on the boat and they used baits. The seabass caught by mate beat a nice yellowtail(kingfish) caught by Capt.
