A vibrant, high-energy photo of a family or group of friends gathered on a wooden dock in Ketchikan. They are smiling broadly, holding up several bright, silver King and Coho salmon. At their feet or hanging from a scale is a thick, healthy halibut. The background features the F/V 4 C’s with its gear visible, and the misty, evergreen-covered mountains of the Tongass National Forest under a soft Alaskan sky.

A heartwarming and high-quality photo of Sarah and Emma Campbell standing on the deck of the 4 C’s. They are both smiling, proudly holding a large, “ocean bright” King salmon that still has its silver sea-scales glistening. The background shows the professional fishing setup of the boat and the scenic, forested coastline of Ketchikan, Alaska. It perfectly captures the family-run spirit of Campbell’s Fishing Charters.

A detailed, close-up shot of a prehistoric-looking lingcod being held safely over the side of the 4 C’s. The photo should show the fish’s unique mottled coloring and sharp teeth, with a measuring tape visible in the frame to emphasize the importance of the 30-35 inch or 55+ inch “slot limit” discussed in the report.

A professional, high-quality photograph of Captain Cable standing on the deck of the F/V 4 C’s. He is smiling and proudly holding two vibrant, “ocean-bright” Yelloweye rockfish (often called “yellow rockfish” locally). Their orange-yellow coloring is stunning, and they show the healthy size that is back on the menu for 2025. The background clearly shows the professional fishing setup of the 4 C’s and the scenic, forested coastline of Ketchikan, Alaska. This photo perfectly captures the limited harvest opportunity discussed in the regulation report.

A vibrant photo of a client on the 4 C’s holding a pair of large, dark-colored Black Rockfish. The fish look healthy and “ocean-fresh,” perfectly illustrating the species affected by the new “3 fish” limit. The background features the calm waters of the Inside Passage near Ketchikan.

A high-energy shot of Captain Cable on the deck of The 4 C’s, holding a bright, silver Winter King Salmon caught in the crisp April air. The boat is positioned near the rugged, evergreen shoreline of Clover Pass, with the “4 C’s” logo visible on the cabin in the background.

A crisp autumn morning scene on the water in Ketchikan. A fisherman is preparing a downrigger on the deck of the 4 C’s, with the mist rising off the dark Alaskan water and the shoreline trees showing hints of fall colors.

A happy fisherman on the deck of the 4 C’s, holding a bright, silver Coho Salmon with the lush, green Alaskan forest in the background. The sun is hitting the scales of the fish, and the angler is wearing a big smile, clearly enjoying the fall run.

A high-energy collage style photo (or a single standout shot) of a happy fisherman on the 4 C’s holding a massive, chrome King Salmon on a bright summer day. The blue waters of the Inside Passage are sparkling in the background, showing the peak of the 2024 summer season.

A bright, sunny July afternoon on the water. A happy fisherman stands on the deck of the 4 C’s, proudly holding a solid King Salmon that’s shimmering in the sunlight. The calm, blue waters of Clover Pass and the lush green mountains are perfectly clear in the background.
