  • 2021 was another epic salmon season in Bristol bay Alaska! ~63 million sockeye salmon returned to their home rivers this year. The gillnet fleet just couldn't stop them.
    Here is another video from this summer! • Seining Alaska, Cessna...

    Slowest pickers I've ever seen!! Flip the other fish over, so you can tan the other side!! 🤪

      We like to make salmon leather as they come on the boat…it’s called “value added” 😂

    Another great video. Glad it was another good season for all you guys up there. Really helps when the fish show up in numbers. 20 years ago I would have hit you up for a job. Should have stayed up there when I was there.

      Well there were some pretty skinny years in the early 2000's, it was pretty tough to stick it out...not much money to be made that's for sure. It was tough to find crew!

    With prices considerably lower now, does that mean captains will no longer feel the need to ram other fishing boats?

      Every single year 9 out of 10 captains you ask will say "the more cotton, more fish.." haha this year we were driving in from the airport red salmon, and everyone in the taxi said "holy smokes it's gonna be a great year"..

      @@HamWalletHandler right so doesn’t that mean the myth (just for argument sake) was confirmed? “They” also say that when the fireweed goes to seed the season is over…but I hear folks were doing good into August…

      I just seen the "cotton/fireseed" clip on your video and had to complain. We ended up pulling the boat early. We barely made a broom fishing Johnston Hill line. Anyways cool video man, and way cooler boat! Hope you did well.

    Maybe you salmon guys can piggyback on the crab boats request for Federal Funds to get back to what you feel is a fair fishing wage.

    • @SaltWaterSalmon
      @SaltWaterSalmon  ปีที่แล้ว

      I like your thinking but I believe the price is low here due to the volume we have been producing. The crab fleet has been impacted by no crab....at least the Bering sea fleet...I think, but I'm not close to that fishery anymore.
