Alaska's Kenai River.....world famous for its trophy King salmon fishing. Current home of the IGFA World Record, a 97 pound 4 ounce monster caught in 1985. And for over 30 years this river has produced uncountable trophies in the 40 to 80 pound range and made dreams come true for anglers of all ages.
Most first time visiting anglers employ the services of a river guide to fish for these tackle-busting giants. The power of one of these fish on the end of your line is indescribable. And with the number of boat anglers on the river, it takes a guide with special qualifications to provide the best opportunity possible for hooking up and landing one of these prized fish.
