Fishing on the Kenai Peninsula

We've made it to Anchorage! 

After Seward, we drove over and spent the day and night at Homer.  Below, if you look close, is the three-mile long "Spit" that was jammed with vehicles and tourist shops.  It's where we spent the night and did some ocean fishing. 

After buying some BIG hooks, and some wicked squid bait, we fished off the end of the "Spit" and had some success.

Guess what kind of fish this is (below)?  Here are two clues and the answer will be at the end of this post.
Clues:
John Belushi gave this name to a fraternity pledge in the movie, "Animal House".  (Tim's hint)
Ariel's friend in the movie, "The Little Mermaid" had the name of this fish. (Tami's hint)
 

That night, at our campsite, we fried it up.....it was delicious!










We are including this shot to show that the old van made it to the most westerly point in North America.  Way to go '95 Ford Econoline!

Here we are waiting for our order of fresh halibut in Homer. 

One night, Tim cooked up a bunch of pancakes and we heated up the leftovers in the portable mini-oven the next morning....Flapjacks on the highway!

 

The views continue to amaze us.  Here is another glacier we saw on the way to Anchorage.

By the time we got to Anchorage, we had less than an hour left on our three-day fishing license that expired at noon.  We found a small lake and were determined to use up every minute of the license.  With 15 minutes to go, Tami reeled in a leader line with a tiny fishing fly attached that someone had lost.  She tied it on to her line and proceeded to fish the hour out.
We weren't getting any nibbles when I finally heard her say, "This is my last cast."  I was starting to pick up the tackle box when she reeled in this trout.  I took her picture and checked my watch....11:59.  She made it by one minute!  Boy, was she happy.

Answer:  Flounder
