On my first trip to Alaska we were fishing the Thorne River on beautiful Prince of Wales Island (the third largest island in the USA) and I landed my first Silver Salmon! At first there wasn't much of a fight until it saw me then it ran upriver at mach one peeling line like no other! Game on! Shortly after landing this beauty a large black bear jumped in the river across from us and caught a salmon. What a thrill to see!
