Title: A work contest... Fireweed, Klawock, Alaska
Post by: Flytech on March 23, 2015, 09:21:31 PM: I work for a sales organization and they're having a contest. 4 sales reps get to go, based on the contest rules around margin.

I made 13 ballots in February, and I'm banking on winning this trip. Will find out the week of June 1st.

Looks like a pretty swanky place.

And I especially like the blood dripping from the fingers; the ring finger no less :)

Sounds like it was an awesome trip. Nothin beats fresh ocean-caught salmon!

One thing does...

Fresh ocean caught Halibut. ;) it's $27.99 lb at Bruce's right now, I must have caught 30lbs worth after processing!

I stand corrected! ;) Freshly caught fish is always better/tastier than anything from the store. You simply can't beat it!

The only thing that beats freshly caught fish is freshly caught fish that you caught yourself. It loses something when you are eating someone else's freshly caught fish.

Totally agree. There's something special about eating a fish you caught versus eating a fish that was caught by someone else, or from the store.
