On the first day of King fishing
season on the Kenai river, Jane
Matthies-Holtan landed this 148 lbs
monster (or was it 48 lbs?). Keith,
her husband who took the picture
(and Heidi's older brother), talked
with Scott about how his salmon
fishing-guide season has been on the
Morning Show, click
here to listen!
Looks like things are going pretty
good.

 IT'S
YOUR BUSINESS TO KNOW
KAXE would like to thank all
our business underwriters for their
strong support. These businesses understand the value of having
their name associated with KAXE.
Why? Because KAXE members support the businesses that
support KAXE. They will sometimes drive
50 miles to buy something at a business
that supports KAXE versus going across the
street to one that doesn't. Will
you provide us with a name of a business
you think should underwrite/support on
KAXE?
