A note from Kari (@akkenaigirl):
“Fishing has been a part of my life since I was 4 years old when my family moved to Alaska. My dad took our family fishing most summer weekends and brought me along on his fishing trips with his friends which instilled in me a deep love for the sport.”
“I lost my mom 5 years ago—though she wasn’t as passionate about fishing, she loved the Alaskan outdoors. Now, fishing on the Kenai River makes me feel so close to her, and every time I catch a monster like this I can’t help but wonder if she’s celebrating with me. For many of us, fishing is so much more than the sport of it. These trophy trout are just an added bonus.”
