The scream of Bajr our chief’s Hardy reel could be heard from the Baranof Lodge Deck as it emptied 150 yards of backing in one run!

Mark “Bajr” Rosenkranz took of his apron and made of few cast off the dock this afternoon and got yanked by a 40# BLUE WATER brute! Now we might have to fend for our selves in the kitchen!Mark "Bajr" Rosenkranz , Baranof Lodge

Bring on the Summer of 2012

Each season when we return to our special spot on planet earth to Baranof Warm Springs Bay; the anticipation of the first King of the season looms in the back of all of our minds. It is an auspices event when the first juicy King Salmon steaks hit the grill and we toast with great confidences the wonderful season to come and pay homage to the sprit of the sport and our blessings to be here.

Last Night Charley hit it off with a nice 22# Cromer with Sally swinging her first successful net job of the season!
