Salmon Snag | Life Below Zero


2m read
·Nov 11, 2024

So we're gonna set this net. We're gonna catch ourselves a bunch of salmon. If we have different kinds of salmon that come here, we're gonna make dog food, people food, and food for gifts and giving, and trading, and whatever else we feel like doing for the hailstones.

It is crucial to harvest migrating salmon to survive the coming winter. They will spend several days net fishing, a native method that has been passed down for generations. Check it out! You can see the fish splashing already—fun! So we're hoping there's quite a few fish out there. Feel free to advance in the boat. Thank you! Bring it up side; bring it up side. Oh, fish on!

Hey, we're definitely gonna have salmon dinner tonight. That was fun watching the fish get caught in the net as you pull it. Have a salmon for dinner! Salmon are a valuable resource, really valuable in Alaska. Tasty fish; they're full of fats, full of oils. They've got a lot of good vitamins, minerals, and proteins, and it's all just good for you. It's fish; it's brain food!

You know, I got to fish, but it's still catching the boat more than it's catching fish. But, it's not a good boat for checking your net; everything is caught on everything! Hey, boats are a good boat to check a net in if you're really trying to, but this one's not ideal.

This one right here has lots of snags and rivets and screws and locks and back corners. We have an older boat that's a Boston Whaler, and I'm thinking I'm gonna go pick that up. I had an old boat that we were using for a net checker. Now it has a leak that's irreparable, and it just sinks as we fill it up with more and more salmon. It sinks lower and lower, filled with more water.

But I have a brand-new motor coming, so I'll have an extra motor. I'm gonna go pick the wife up our really good fishing boat that we have over at our son's house. It'll have real smooth sides, and my wife will fish to her heart's delight without snagging anything while checking the net. I'll have two motors; I'll have two boats.

We've got six good fish, seven good fish—yep, no complaints about that! Hmm.
