I figured it out!

I went Hooligan fishing for my first time two years ago and haven't been back until this year. With some experimenting, I think I figured it out how to catch the little fish from the sardine family.

Nice video! Awesome that your son was able to film for you! And glad you not only had an extra net but got the 22 gallons or so of fish! 😊

Thank you, it was a good to be out with the boy and he had some fun ideas.

When I was a kid in northern CA we had a run of those except we knew them as Candlefish. I think they got fished out because they're gone now. The Native word for them is "eulachon", pronounced oolichon, which became hooligan. They are oily and will light like a candle when dried.

A TRUE sportsman! Being the dirt bag I am, I would have closed up that hole with some para-cord or something. You always the more sporting of the 2 of us Jr! 🤣

this is fun! Love it.

[@RaisedinAlaska]

Thank you. I worked on this with my son and we tested out a new style video. I’m curious to see how it does.

[@MooseManNaturePhotos]

@@RaisedinAlaska Tricky! Love the new style. You have a cameraman in your son!

I need to find out more about this type of fish RIA

[@RaisedinAlaska]

I have big plans for the bounty from this trip. 🦀

[@MyAlaska12]

Nice! What are you going to do with all of these Hooligans? I haven't been yet but want to.

[@RaisedinAlaska]

I gave a bunch of them away and will use some to catch better food later. 😉

[@TheBeardedCamper]

Interesting, are you catching those to be used as bait fish?

[@RaisedinAlaska]

I gave some of them away to friends who love to eat them. The rest may show up in an upcoming fishing video. 😉
