Decision to harvest Kenai River Kings astounding

After witnessing the Kenai bonking fest on the Kenai for kings you can’t help but feel sick about it. It looked like Walter James Palmer, the dentist who killed Cecil the lion in Zimbabwe.

Maybe we need an investigation into the Alaska Fish and Game that allowed this and what really drove this decision just when the kings might be showing signs of a comeback. Just about everyone was astounded when this decision came out. Can’t wait to see all the stud muffins and their guides (the real bonkers) that killed these fish in the local media.

Kudos to the guides that catch-and-release only. I’ll send all my friends to these guides in future.

It’ll be interesting see Craig’s list in spring for these fish to show up as free freezer burned fish.
