Fishing in the Yukon River | Life Below Zero

That's a bourbon! Holy look, Maya! I got it! Yeah, you got it! Maya was able to pull out a lush, which was a big deal because it's a different kind of fish. None of my kids ever seen one; I've never caught one, and I was really proud of her to be able to pull in a nice lush like that.

Feels good to get a bit. My first time ever catching one! First time with the kids; they're excited, I'm excited, especially seeing little Maya pull it out. That's golden! I can't believe we got a burbet! That's so cool! We still have more lines to check too.

Oh yeah! Oh, there's a fish on it! Holy, that's a big Pike! That's a huge pike! Dang! Oh, that's a big bike! It's dead! It'll have a good lever inside of it now. We show you the other one; pull it in there! Another one? Yep!

Oh, it's still alive! BB it! Come on, BB it! BB it! Come on, BB it! Hug, it's a bir man! It's a huge one! Look at it! That's a big one! Huge, J! Yeah, now we can eat BL one! Oh, oh, oh, it's like a big snake! Jeez! Stand right here; let's see how big it is next to you! It's taller on the ground; it's big as you, mama!

Okay, we got to make a little fire and cook some BB! Have a feast! Definitely different looking fish. See how, like, the flakes are bigger? Oh yeah! Oh, look at those Mose! A baby Mar! Yeah, baby Mose! It looks into her!

Holy M! You're going to be hunting mov pretty [Music]! Feel, that's the beauty of having kids and being in the woods, and being happy out here is just part of being with nature. And part of being with your culture is learning to enjoy yourselves while you're getting food on the table.

My hands are so tired, too shaking [Music]! Another one? Yeah! Jeez, that fish is gone quick! That was so yuny! It was no more! That was good, huh? I just want to fall back and go to sleep! Me too!

Okay, good job, Maya! Good job, fish! All right, there [Music]!
