The Klutina kings are always red. Meat was still very orange and tasted great 👍 I now guide for the company that took me out to catch this fish!

Because of the way we chased this fish and brought it aboard the raft once it leaves the water in Alaska it is to be obtained so this was my one and only fish I was allowed to keep I released plenty of other fish on this trip to finish their thing!

Still plenty of big fish in that system.. If the meat was mush it wouldn't matter then would it cuz he'd already passed on his genetics. Your comment is a contradiction. The meat doesn't turn to mush til they finish their spawning and start to die.. but for the record my license, my fish and the meat was still orange and still in great condition.

alaska is better than Canada no need to be arrogant facts are facts

Good none likes snakes or alligators kill them all

This is the Klutina River that flows into the Copper River at Copper Center AK. I did jet boat guided fishing here for 20 years so every day I had at least 50-pound Chinook in the boat and Chinook to 85 pounds at least once a week. These rafting outfits from Glennallen AK are bunch or drunken drug addicted morons that kill a few tourists every summer here because this river isn't any place to taking people in these small calm water rafts that turn over then people in 48-degree water off the Glacier kills people in minutes. I ran a 20-foot Wille open jet boat with a 225 Hp EFI Mercury here and much of the river is just dangerous that has no lee way for mistakes. These rafter guides are always drunk or on drugs making it even more of a danger for tourist

@@Lure-Benson my guides all all drug and alcohol free! every single one of us. The only death that has happened on the Klutina river in the last 10 years was a military guy that rented a boat that wasn't even allowed on the river. The raft guides rescued the rest of the party that was involved.

The reason we keep the rod tip down is to keep the fish from putting his head up in the heavy current and using more of the current to his advantage. When you put the rod tip low it make the fish point his head down and he can't use the current to his advantage as much

This is the Klutina river that flows into the Copper River at Copper center with one of the Glennallen AK Slock drunken drug addicted rafting outfits. They kill a few unsuspecting tourists here every summer. I used to guide Jet boat salmon fishing here for 20 years. No one has any business using a raft on this river for offering any kind of guide services and the video doesn't even show the real dangers of this river. Look how that moron has overloaded the raft with way too many people on an extreme dangerous river.

I've been a river rat my whole life been fighting big fish in the rivers in Michigan since I was 6yrs old this is not only rhe biggest river I've fished but also the biggest fish I've caught! The net job was the scariest part of the whole battle... lol

Scariest moment of my life.... that dude would have never made it back from the river if that fish wouldn't have made it in the raft... lol 😆

@@killermiller9627 yeah man i would be scared too netting a fish that big honestly i probably woulda fell in so i take back saying it’s brutal hahah

Mid Michigan

@@killermiller9627 I'm in NW Indiana - not crazy far away. I don't suppose you could share what river that was. I have a kayak and would love to walleye fish.

lol this fish was Twice the size of Brads. Both Brad and kyles fish were caught on my charters.

Pauly want a cracker

57lbs currently getting replica made to hang on the wall I was in Alaska for 10 days August 1st through the 10th but season runs from July 1st to August 15th! Look forward to seeing you on the river this summer!!

@@killermiller9627 Subbed to see the replica bro.

It says all the start of the video that it’s 57pounds by the way that’s a huge fish what a great catch

Right on! Returned the favor and Subbed to your channel!

@@killermiller9627 thank you very much!

Thanks Jake is a badass for sure! I will actually be joining him next year to help guide. This was on the Klutina.

I dont and will not name rivers lakes ext. In my videos those who know know but will not put rivers on blast these rivers and bodies of water I fish receive enough pressure as it is. But thank you!

@@killermiller9627 totally understandable, I would be the same way. I believe I know which river it is I just wanted clarification. Tight lines my man🎣

Notice how that fish went straight back after a quick pic? Foul hooked fish happen but always go back

Dont be Karen.
