This was my first WWIA event and the first time in Alaska. It has always been a dream of mine to fish and hunt in Alaska and this truly was a dream come true. I can’t say enough about the amazing hosts that made this event a success. John was spectacular, and I can’t believe how much he did day in and out to make us comfortable and successful on the boat. I have never caught a halibut before and to have the opportunity to catch a 101.8-pound fish is amazing and will be a highlight for years to come. It was a wonderful experience to spend time with fellow warriors helping to open up about our experiences both in battle and the hurdles following. This trip also helped me in my personal recovery and ability to reach out to other veterans and to see the generosity and compassion of others in our communities. Thank you so much for everything. I will never forget!
