I still show this video off to give people an idea of a shotgun opener. You did great on this.

Excellent footage! I'll never forget the day I experienced this in person when I was a deckhand for the Mayhem II. Our vessel was the only stern picker among all the the smaller, faster bow pickers, but Captain Ronda skillfully maneuvered around the smaller boats and we got our fair share! What a great memory!

Stern pickers are superior for high speed setting.

Its a hatchery. ADFG has openers like that to clean up the spawned out fish that didn't make it upriver or back into the hatchery to spawn. They're a terminal species and will die anyways once spawned out.

@@Yourfriendinendtimes - it's ON THE MAIN RIVER... the 'hatchery' is off to the side, and hasn't anything (really) to do with where those boats are, or the 'confines' they are limited to. The entire 'setup' of HOW the federal government deals with the Alaska commercial fisherman is ridiculous... and wrong on so many levels.

@PolecatNat3 жыл бұрын
And these fisherman aren't responsible for this kind of fishing. No one does this because they like this kind of fishing. Who would? It's ADF&G that organizes this kind of shit. These fellas are just trying to make a living in a mismanaged fishery. There is only one other option. Don't participate and and risk losing you fishing operation and livelihood or go to the rodeo and ride it out. What are ya gonna do?
@Yourfriendinendtimes3 жыл бұрын
Lol you don't know anything about fishing. First of all this opener is just hatchery fish, probably very little to no wild fish. I don't remember any rodeo openers happening where ADF&G didn't want the fishermen to clean up the area of old fish. I don't think there's much more to explain other than that haha.

what a waste
@happyvalleymama4 жыл бұрын
No waste! Main Bay is the first sockeye smolt-producing hatchery in the world. Up to six different sockeye salmon stocks have been incubated and reared in the same hatchery building. PWSAC has concentrated solely on rearing Coghill Lake stock since 1998. This decreases the risk of disease, improves fish culture, and helps increase marine survival by a percentage or two. MBH is currently permitted for 12.4 million sockeye salmon eggs annually.
