Catching Salmon

Catching red salmon on Kenai River. Salmon were biting like crazy but my hook was too small so they kept coming off, but I managed to catch one and capture it on the camera. I caught six in total in about 15 min.

thats a lot of damaged salmon out there which ever way you look at it. Just because you rednecks claim this is how its always been done doesn't make it OK. People like you give the anti-angling lobby good ammunition.

haha ok miss environment. You all hypocrats always blame those who hunt or fish, but ironically you eat the meat that come from animals. I don't see the differece between a cow or a deer, how are you the right to judge which animal is right to kill which isnt? I love nature and all that it provides but I am not going to say that because I do that I am not going to use some of its resources. You live in the house right? that means that you are anti tree person right?

Maxxxy - youve gone way over the top here. I do fish for salmon - -and shoot but I eat everything I kill.

There is however a certain degree of dignity and respect we should show the animals we intend to eat. We should not maim or damage the animals (land or water) we cannot catch.

I cant agree more with you on showing repect. I fish cause that's my hobby and go to Kenai every year. And I do respect nature. What you don't understand is that Kenai river when it opens up is so overcrowded that in order not to tangle fishing lines with other anglers, we as anglers pull those fish out as quicly as we can. Plus that salmon that i caught i did infact eat. This video is a bit misleading b/c of the angle the camera is set. But there is a person on the left and right side of me.

He's not snagging the fish. He throws the coho fly up river and let's it drift until it runs into the red salmon's mouth, and when he feels the fish at the end of the line he sets the hook. That's how everyone fishes for reds in Alaska. They don't bite, so in a way you snag them in the mouth while they're going upstream. It's a totally different way of fishing than what is used for other salmon species.

thank you for posting this comment. I have so many people mad and angry at this video but they just don't understand how to fish for reds in Alaska. 95% of the reds that I catch are in the mouth, sure I snagged a few but there is nothing you can do about it. It wasnt intentional. They are also angry about how i pull fish on the banks but they dont understand what "combat fishing" is all about. When fishing with so many people around you you are forced like everyone else to get the fish out fast

You snager you dont know how to catch a fish

[crankbaity]

what bait/lure did u use

This is an excellent video, it is the only way to catch reds. I am from Montana, but I spend my summers commercial fishing in Alaska. Isn't it a pain in the ass to listen to what these greenies have to say about our ways of life. Its the same in Montana. I'm not going to lie but that lady just sounds like an idiot.

P.S. Kill every damn wolf you can find in Montana.

O ya and as soon as salmon lay their eggs they die, so don't be too worried.

"biting like crazy" bahahaahahha

[Georooney]

Maybe he'd have a bit more luck if he'd try catching them by the mouth.  What a lamer!

@kellyf356

my brain is damaged after reading your stupid comment. the only reason the human race survived is because of eating what god gave us. domain over the earth means we use the animals as we see fit. I LOVE TO KILL AND EAT MY OWN FOOD. makes me feel like less of a sissy and more like a man. your probably too pathetic to understand how goods go from nature to your dinner table. "anti-angling lobby" that is the most crap ive heard in one sentence in all the public restrooms ive ever used.

[bren5dan]

fuck all of you. fuck a salmon they all die sooner or later you fucking idiots.

[kidskrange]
