Thanks guys!!

We were fortunate enough to speak with the owners of this highly-acclaimed outfitter recently, Luke and Maria Stamm, making it a no-brainer to choose Alaska Strike Zone Sportfishing as our Face of the Northwest feature of the week.

What a ride we are taking online right now! People from around the globe have been contacting us about the whale that Cy caught on video from our dock in Knudson Cove a couple of days ago. So without further delay, here’s our post with the details, and some links to news coverage from around the globe. Scroll down for more! (We will be updating this post as more coverage takes place.)

Thanks again for tuning in, and contact us if you want to go fishing in the most beautiful place on the planet!
