We recently chartered a fishing trip with Big Irv and we were not disappointed. We had three generations onboard and limited out quickly with halibut and silvers along with some cod and rockfish. The entire family had a great time and Chris worked his butt of making our trip a great success. We have our own boat but decided to expand our fishing memories with an expert. Thanks Chris for making our summer complete! Highly recommend this charter and looking forward to future trips aboard his vessel.
I went fishing yesterday, August 22nd, with Captain Chris and had an amazing time! The weather was perfect and the water was calm. We didn’t catch a ton of fish, but it definitely wasn’t for lack of effort on the Captain’s part—he took us to several different spots and made sure everyone had a chance. In the end, everyone on the boat went home with halibut. Captain Chris was fantastic—knowledgeable, funny, and always keeping the trip upbeat with his jokes. I live in Alaska and would 100% go on another charter with him again. Highly recommend!
Best trip I’ve been on since moving to Alaska! Awesome boat and the captain was extremely hardworking all day. He helped us land a ton of fish with a variety of species. Super knowledgeable and coached some of the beginners to land some trophies! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trip close to Anchorage. Caught more fish and had a better experience than other trips I’ve been on out of Homer. Veteran owned and it shows.
Captain Chris and Ryan providing three elderly persons with one of "those" days you never forget. My bro in law, being blind provided a larger challenge for the Big Irv. No problem, bagged out for the day. My Sis, loves fishing and did awesome, with a little guidance from both crewmen. No problem, bagged out with "buts", rockfish and pacific cod. Myself, my nice wife bought this trip to fulfillment of my Bucket list. Mission accomplished to the fullest. Complete with bloody "butt" hand shakes from Capt Chris. Very safe, extremely confident and very efficient. You cannot beat this outfit. Military discount helps too. Tight lines & ripped lips to ya'all. Ken Haynes, David & Leslie Jones 05/25/2025.
We booked our first annual fishing trip with Captain Chris, he took care of us from start to finish. Big Irv’s just got a brand new boat and he shared those photos with our party to keep us in the loop leading up to our trip. Captain Chris was standing the rain at the Harbormaster to ensure we even parked in the right spot. We had a few Alaskans on the boat and they made comments as to superior level communication the Captain had with clients and crew. I love he is a veteran owned and operated business. I cannot recommend this charter enough. Captain Chris will absolutely do everything within the limits of his operation to give their clients the best experience they can!
