Great day Commercial Fishing Alaska

[I shoot Rage]

Great day commercial fishing this past season in AK. First one is trolling Salmon and second is dinglebaring for Lingcod.

You, sir, are more of a man than I. I hate cold. I hate wet and cold even worse.

Thanks for catchin' the fish I like to eat, though..... I hope you're making a lot of $$$$

dang that's a lot of fish. I had a chance in high school to work on a salmon boat out of ak but my parents shot that down fast. after being a boatswains mate in the navy I fell in love with the sea and I still would love to give it a go. if you ever know of anyone up there looking for a good, halfway salty hand let me know.

Here are two videos showing the two different fisheries

The dingle bar video doesnt show the process but it still shows the excitement.

"It`s called "dinglebaring", referring to the 4 foot steel rod that`s used as a weight on the end of a single wire line that allows the lures to be trolled along a rough snaggy bottom where the Lingcod feed without getting hung up. The Lingcod bite and are brought to the surface alive and are humanely stunned, live bled, and dressed immediately. Each fish is handled individually to prevent the possibility of bruising and frozen at sea onboard pre-rigor mortise to -30 degrees within minutes of capture." This is the quote that website that sells fish... Ha.
