I live here and fish for salmon every chance I get. Most people can't handle the long winters, but they put up with them for the summers and the fishing.
And I am a Texas boy that fortunately only visits Texas in the mild heat months.

You guys are killing me!
Now all I can think of is the fresh, and I mean so fresh that the meat is still quivering, halibut/salmon/etc... I caught, cleaned and ate while stationed in Alaska.
I miss living there more than any place I have been in my life... /sigh.
