My life has become a fairytale. The main protagonist- Seth. There must be a hidden language to…read moredescribe the impeccable joy it was having Seth as our fisherman guide. Alas. There is not, nonetheless Let me take you on a journey.
Me and my flock are not Alaskan natives. We traveled very far from Louisiana to fish these mighty waters. Having absolutely no prior experience (nor genetic predisposition it seems) in the fish world, we shivered with fear, yet anticipation for the salmon extravaganza that awaited us. Cap'n Seth greeted us with a warm smile and an even warmer "hello there!". He was our beacon of light in our ignorant darkness. On the ride over, we shared many a laugh together. Arriving to the fishing destination (Seth provided an education on salmon strategy that rivals even Yale University. The diligence in which he instructed me and my fellow fishers was far beyond your average instruction. He was patient as an eagle in positioning us in our proper and prime fishing locale. Moana would be jealous of his keenness with water. We could tell by all the friendly greetings that Seth received from his fellow river guides that he is well liked by his peers, and it is easy to see why. Some might call him the River King - we certainly do.
Let me tell you dear reader, I was by far the worst fisher out there, yet Seth wouldn't back down from helping me- and behold- I hooked a salmon. That salmon is my prize, the apple of my eye, the reason for my season. Never could I have done it without Seth. My crew caught more fish than we knew what to do with. Even us biggies couldn't eat the whole catch. The real founder of the feast was Seth.
I could write forever about this journey, but let me leave you with this, give Seth your time, your business, and your conversation. If there is anyone who deserves it, it's him. We enjoyed conversing with Seth the entire trip as he answered our curious questions about life in Alaska and on the river. Thanks again Set. Shoutout to Katy (spelled with a Y) for saving us with waders.
