Dipnetting Alaska's Copper River Red Salmon | 2022 Meat Run |

[@bonneymoseley1159]

This was awesome! My late husband and i moved up here in 2015, and dreamed of doing this, unfortunately it didnt happen for him, his health turned bad and he took his heavenly journey in 2020. I am now 69, and to old. I have hoped i would find someone to proxy for me, but that has not happened either. I have had friends gift me some, but, i didnt get the limit. No better way to eat fish than fresh right out of the river. You and your family are blessed.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Sorry to here about your husband wish you guys could have experienced it together. Hopefully you can find someone to proxy for you that has figured it out, I usually watch the fish count and wait for the water to drop from a high level and go mid week. Glad you liked the video

[@traceyosterlind14]

I loved watching the video, and especially relate to the end- My husband and I used to laugh & say it wasn't an adventure until you blew a tire on the trailer 😂😂😂

[@Max13077]

Can't say enough good things about this video!!! I think about how isolated and separated a lot of families are these days. So awesome to see a bunch of hard working people all putting positive energy towards a common good.

[@campbellj20]

That spot consistently produces lots of fish at high water. Great job! I love watching this video during winter time when I can reminisce about fishing in the summer.

[@trombjr]

I take back my earlier comment on the fillet job…. Glad to see you harvest even the scrapings along the sides…. Nice job

Loved the dinner and the date. Not too many ladies can say they had a date in the HooDoos. Nice! Beautiful scenery.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

It was an awesome dinner. Thanks for watching.

[@jessicamermaid2438]

I love watching Alaskan salmon fishing videos. I was so happy to see the family wearing harnesses. I wish the Dad would have led by example, wearing one also.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

I normally have my harness on, I thought I had forgot mine but it was actually on the rocks by the rest of our gear I thought my wife was wearing mine

Miss going to chitna! Thanks for the videos Scottie!

[@wilwilliamson8831]

Love the way you all work as a team. You got all your fish so quick as well , other channels I watch it took them a couple of days. Respect as always from the uk 👍

Great episode, very nostalgic for me.

Thank you for making my bucket list Alaska trip that I'll probably never get to make in my old age God bless you sir and your family and your children that was a beautiful fishing trip once of a lifetime

jonathan, I'm right there with you, pushing 77, living in Maine but no fishing like that here !!!!

Awsome video.. lots of fish..:)

[@NautiRulz]

Awesome family activity. Love the fishing and the Ford cap!

[@mimicolvin3200]

Wow what a fishing trip. You got yours so quick. The fillet s look awesome. Oh, why you didn’t save domes of fish parts to take home and cook for the dogs. You cook it until the bones are mushy and the dogs would have a fantastic meal. Just saying. I would love to have some fresh salmon to eat. I order mine from there sometimes and it was delicious. Enjoy you harvest and a job well done to all of you. I’m glad everyone was safe. Love your videos and will keep watching. Bye for now from Central Alabama.

[@luisnew6738]

nice job scotty! my folks use to take us to that same spot growing up. We called it the red hole because the mass amount of reds we use to get there.

So glad to see the wife getting in on the fishing action! We’re having salmon, Mac and cheese as well haha 😂 great minds think alike!

Excellent video man!

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Thank you

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Awesome video guys and ladies!!! Oh being able to fish for salmon definitely has to be a treat for sure!!! Plus getting to eat them no fresher than being able to catch them and then clean them and then cook them write on shore or even in the mountains just has to be the best ever!!! I definitely no that I absolutely love salmon but living in Iowa they just are no as fresh as you all get to experience!!! Some day we would love to be able to go catch some and do a shore lunch just so that we can get the true flavor of salmon!! Definitely looked like a blast to do also and being able to catch all the fish that you are allowed in under 3 hours has to make it that much more fun also!!! Awesome video once again!!! Remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!

Glad it worked out for you guys! I went July 3rd and we only got 9 fish in as many hours. Great video!

[@keithsanders9396]

great video - I feel for you guys having to haul all those fish up the hill. Putting them in those dry bags is a great idea. That king was a beauty. Do you guys can them or freeze them?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

We freeze some, smoke some and can some

[@jamiemccorkle4446]

Living the dream! What are the backpacks you used to carry the fish up? Brand or link to find them?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

They are a dry bag I think they are called seam sill

Thank you, I will keep looking for them! Love your video’s new subscriber. Been laid up for a year so enjoying fishing through watching your videos!

[@tammyfletcher7667]

Great video how often do people get checked by fish and wildlife to see if people are following rules I have never heard anyone mention that

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Ive been checked a couple times. I usually try and go during the week when there is less people. I think the fish cops hit it hard on the big weekends

Yes it is, but it’s not always as easy as it may seem

[@victoriaschell2225]

I cant wait to go salmon fishing when i get up there. I've noticed the amount of fish you caught. Isn't there a limit on salmon? Or is there a special license you can buy to catch more?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

There is a permit for personal use dipnetting the limit is 25 for head of household and 10 per person living in the home

[@geeccc5674]

What size nets do you use, i hope to fish up there next summer and i was thinking in the fast water that the 5’ nets people use down on the Kenai might be too big. Any thoughts? Do you have a manufacturer that you prefer?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

I’m not sure the diameter of the nets I have, but you are right the big ones they use on the kenai wouldn’t work that great in my opinion. I like the ones that our sold at frontier outfitters in fairbanks they have the blue poles that come apart in 6’ lengths which makes it way easier to get down to the water in the canyon. I try to always use a harness or at least be tied to a rope. I

Love it! Great video as always! How self sufficient are you guys when it comes to food? What do you guys typically have to run to the grocery for?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

We still go to the grocery store we just don’t usually buy meat we eat moose and fish. Plus we have a garden also so get some greens from it and we grow potatoes. We also pick quite a few berries in the fall

[@grousehunter67]

Tub full of fish Nice trip ! how do you like that smaller 6x6

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

I like it does pretty much everything I need it to do. The only time It’s been underpowered was when I was using it to pull he 1000’s up a hill that were fully loaded with moose. I bought it because where we hunt a 4 wheeler just doesn’t cut it and both the boys can ride it. I did put a clutch kit in it

[@grousehunter67]

@@diyalaskanlifestyle I run a couple newer Grizzlies and ive always wanted a 6x6 do you think the 650 is powerful enough or is a1000 the way to go

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

@@grousehunter67 the 650 is plenty but I think it’s more the base model, and by the time you put a winch on it your not saving that much. At least that was the case a couple yrs ago. The one my sons ride is the 450.

no you dont us plumbers work hard to perfect the plumbers crack

[@RayFMak]

Do you have to worry about bears with all those fish?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Yes I’ve seen bears opening coolers and taking fish on more then one occasion. I’ve also had bears not want to get more then a few ft off the trail when trying to pass on a wheeler. That’s why I’d prefer to clean them the night of instead of waiting but this trailer has locks on it so wasn’t as worried

Has to be illegal?
