191K Sockeye in 1 day: Unreal Salmon Fishing on the Kenai River
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- This video is all about redemption! After our week-long push to get all our salmon having failed in the most depressing 6 hours of fishing we've ever had - it's time to get back on the horse and get our waders wet in the river.
The run is in and the numbers have skyrocketed. So we're out to hit our limit of 6 fish, 2 days in a row.
We're fishing in the same spot we did last year, where we had mixed results. Check that video out here:

Now that is what i call a great days Salmon fishing.
Plenty for everyone.
Hope both of you are keeping safe and well.
Thanks, you too! It was a pretty great experience!
It was crazy and fun fishing this year on the kenai river so many fish
For sure!
It does kinda look like you may have hooked 191K reds in 1 day. Not gonna lie - pretty jealous. Flipping for reds on the Kenai is some fun stuff. Ok, and the look at 11:33 cracks me up. It's kinda like when you go albacore tuna fishing and after you've brought in the 10th or so tuna and your forearms and hands are cramped in "the claw" position, you toss your anchovie back out and it's bit as soon as it hit the water.
It was pretty epic! We've never had fishing that good - it was a nice change of pace for sure, but our arms we're ready for it. Thankful it was over quickly!
This video should be titled. "How to Floss Your Limit Of Salmon".
Yeah! Good suggestion!
Living the dream!
For sure!
Nice floss job
Thank you! Cheers!
So nice seeing you catch your limits both days. Is salmon fishing still going on or is the season over? What boots did Cate get? Until next time take care .
Thank you! It was great that we both got our limit both days! We’ve never experienced anything like that, it was so much fun! Fishing for sockeye is wrapping up and Silvers are what most people seem to be going for now. Cait is much more comfortable now in new Simms boots.
Dan, no wonder it took you longer to get your limit. The fish were swimming past your feet, while you were casting too far out!
Could be true! More likely it was because I was filming Cait and netting for her. We still did okay! Not going to complain about fishing on a day like this!
Nice catch! Which state you moved from?
Thank you! We moved up from North Carolina a few years back.
Need a 9 foot Lamiglass Kenai Killer rod and a Penn 10 with 40lb Dacron. Yard them out.
Is that what works best for you?
@@semi-wild-alaska yep. When you’re just trying to limit and not have fun that setup will let you jerk them out of the water in seconds. If you’re fishing for fun, which I do, a less brutal approach is better. 😄. Tight lines to you and your wife.
Is that Centennial Park?
This was at the Gilman Fishing Center, a bit further up the river from Centennial.
@@semi-wild-alaska oh gotcha! We live in Kenai 🙂 Your channel came up as a suggestion.
@@Sunshine_AK Awesome! Thanks for checking us out! Maybe we'll see you out on the river!
Was this the 2nd run late July or early august?
Closer to late July we’d say…
What is the limit for each day
6 fish per person per day at that time.
looks like the airport......disagree w your fish fighting method....keep your tip up...much easier to fight them rather than keeping it low to the water!! that was a great day fishing....
This is at the Gibson Fishing Center. We keep our tip low and even in the water in case the hook comes out. We’re not interested in anyone taking a hook to the eye. Keeping the tip in the water helps absorb the energy from the rod if the line breaks or the hook comes out. We’ve also had pretty good success with bringing fish in with this method, but thanks for weighing in! We are always looking to learn more about!
@@semi-wild-alaska you are correct, keeping the rod high looses leverage... You are doing it correctly...
One of my tarpon guides in the Caribbean told me to almost point the rod right at the fish and just reel. Have the rod held up just enough to put a decent bow into it. Your line has more umph in it than the rod does. I live on the kenai, have employed that technique on them ever since. Hook em and just turn on the winch Lol.
@@johnwagoner7571 for sure! We've seen people pull them in that way.
Is that called flossing or snagging
This is flossing. We're trying to draw the line and hook across the mouth of the fish. Snagging is when the hook is pulled aggressively through the water to grab the fish wherever - which is illegal on the Kenai river. Sometimes when flossing we accidentally fowl hook the fish - a.k.a. hook it somewhere instead of the mouth, similar to snagging - but we let those fish go.
