  2. Disgruntled client from California can cause many headache. Can we see the illegal halibut? This subject also carries on into the the new regulations implemented on southeast Alaska charter operators. Is captain Tony a real outlaw or a professional captain offering a quality charter service out of Ketchikan Alaska? What does this criminal look like?
