Here in Alaska this isn't called "fishing" it's called "flossing" which is a fancy way of saying "snagging". The fish isn't biting the fly/lure, the line floats downstream and it gets stuck in the fish's mouth. The lure is then pulled up to the mouth by the person fishing, thus snagging the fish in the side of the mouth. Technically it is illegal but so many unethical types do it it is difficult to properly enforce. So we rely on angler integrity and honesty to enforce it. Sadly, there's not much of that up here and unethical fishing, like this snagging on Ship Creek, goes unchecked. 9 out of 10 kings hooked this way are hooked somewhere other than in the mouth, usually in the belly. So the landing process basically kills them and they are forced to release a fish that has no chance of passing on its genes before it dies.

That was a great fight, nice video!!!

Awesome video man! Tight lines! 🤙🏻

Not sure why the "net guy" didn't head a bit downstream to make the whole catching process a bit easier? just sayin'
