Sven put us on kings from the moment we hit the water. I landed a 58-pound Chinook. The Kenai is every bit as wild and beautiful as advertised. Worth every dollar of the flight.

First time in Alaska. Sven made it unforgettable. We anchored in a prime hole and hammered kings all morning. The scenery alone was worth the trip. An experience I'll never forget.
