Dear crowdcor225

I put this video on so people might see fish caught. on the best fishing day in my 20 years of running fishwheels . This wheel (owned by a family not "tribe") has caught thousands of fish each year and killed them all - so what - what's your problem. Anyway you act like there's some hidden agenda behind this video and screw you. This is the last time I defend this video but will not restrict or delete negative comments so others can see how ignorant some people are.

Dear dwains21

You better be eating spinach and beans somewhere because the village people who this wheel provides fish for, use this fish as one of their main sources of protein along with game meat. This ain't no play fishery sonny boy. By the way this was a one time event as far as amount caught and the wheel only ran for 1/2 hour and provided fish for many days to people who used it for their dogs and themselves. You got a nerve. I'd like to see how you live your life you hippocrite.

@dwains21 you're a disgrace, and learn how to spell it first dumbass

@MrSteelheadfisherman You are a dumbass that doesn't know what this is all about. Fishwheels and people that live off fish wheels have been around longer than your grandpa was a sperm in your great grandpas penis

Looks like you got a good haul. Just make sure you leave enough for next time :)

[livewater72]

Very good video. I did not realize that this video was made by you. I saw it on display in a Valdez, Alaska museum and used it as an intro to my video. I hope you do not mind.

I live on the lower Columbia river and would love to see fish wheels used instead of the long drift nets used by the commercial industry. We might not see as much incedental catch this way...
