Three kings
Corey Smith, 16, of Nikiski hoists the 72-pound, 50-inch female king salmon he pulled from the Kenai River on July 31, the last day of king season. Standing behind Corey are his dad, Vernon, and Bart Williams of Kenai (at right). Proud mom Lynn Smith said the end-of-the-year trip had all the makings of a great day on the water — good weather, good friends and great fishing.
“They said they were slaying ‘em,” she said.
