No fleas on a 85 pound 'but! Well, sand fleas maybe...

Dang right. I bought tickets and fished for them several trips every year for a decade and never caught one that big. Hooked a good one once and lost him but never caught one over 60. Sure had a lot of fun doing it though, probably the #1 thing I miss about Alaska is the saltwater fishing.
