[@Strangernightg]

That was a beautiful catch for you and the family and the best thing about it all is the memories that you'll all remember and that's what family is all about . Peace , love and much respect to this channel .

[@stevewalker4904]

This is awesome a family working together and surviving on what they catch without any interference of the fish and game police that due their so called job for revenue and stealing from the people.

[@stevewalker4904]

It feels so good inside to see real people, time to stop government interference and corruption and let people like this live and hunt freely as America was meant to be, God bless this family.

[@AngiesPantry58]

I love how your family works together . Great video.

[@jimmygraham5693]

Great team work fishing very enjoyable video. Be safe and be careful my friends.

[@MrSmitty6969]

Great video, You guys are Outstanding parents !

[@Igloo_papi]

I've been going to O'Brian creek since the mid 1980s. Limited out dozens of times right there at the o'Brian creek . Used to be able to drive a car to Haley creek. Crazy how much its changed. Caught a king one year, went to clean it and the meat was clear. Like clear jello. Threw it back. In 1991 or 92 someone shot a black bear there at o'Brian. It tried to attack their dogs that were tied up, middle of the afternoon on a sunny day. Thanks for posting.

[@ruthgrimes2147]

What a beautiful place but rough terrain to operate in I'm sure GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🐕🐕🐕🦮🦮🦮

[@joannak4640]

Very cool video. Good for you for catching all that Salmon!! Have you ever seen the KZbin channel Simple Living Alaska? I like how they utilize the whole fish. Bones and all

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

We do watch simple living, when we used to grow a very big garden I’d bring the carcusses home and compost

[@stevenharrison2911]

Awesome channel up most respect for all of your family

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Thank you

[@RusticByNature]

Very Nice Thanks for sharing.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Your welcome

[@1648jim]

Very cool trip!

[@aksalaman4689]

Nice family fun day.

[@littlegoobie]

hmmm...that aluminum trailer. My friend designed and built things just like those way back in the 90's or maybe early 2000's. 4 wheels with an articulating box so it doesn't dump when you go over a rolling trail. ..started in south central, retired and moved down to kodiak but had other properties.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

These trailers are the only way to go I welded up the walking beam myself. It can be mesmerizing watching these trailer traverse rough country. The only prob I’ve had is I don’t have a stop on the beam so sometimes the tire may jamb up against the box and stop the wheeler if loaded down and in nasty country. But this rarely happens especially pulling with the 6x6

[@wayneclarke1727]

Nice to meet you!

[@blairtheageese5269]

Beautiful country

[@blairtheageese5269]

Only Native can dipnet in B C

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Yes it is

[@raymondcoggins297]

Another awesome video you guys must be part mountain goat that cliff looked scetchy

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

It is pretty steep and the river is very dangerous that’s why we wear harnesses and are tied off at all times

[@ГригорийСтупаков-э9ы]

Отличное видео Отличная рыбалкой. Но самое замечательное это дороги а точнее их качество.

[@lingbinzhu]

God job! How far, how many miles from parking lot?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

5 miles

[@wayneclarke1727]

Great footage, what's the name of that rock tunnel friend?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

It was a road with tunnel’s and bridges put in to get copper from Kennicot mine to Cordova(the ocean)in the early 1900’s

[@urbancowboyinct2161]

Awsome video

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Thank you

[@owenscool112411]

Are those nets available online? That would be mighty handy on steep banks. Great video y’all.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

I’m not sure if they are avail online, most of the better ones are made in Alaska by local company’s

[@owenscool112411]

@@diyalaskanlifestyle ahhh that’s makes sense. Thank you.

[@blairtheageese5269]

Great to see all the safety harness , I have seen dip netting but did not see safety harness on any one

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Yes we wear harness’s especially on the rock we were fishing the first day. The second day we didn’t have them on it was a way less dangerous spot to fish but we still should of taken the time to put them on

[@pebro3]

No PFD's? That river will swallow you in a one moment. Also I can't imagine how much that trip cost. I'll get my salmon somewhere else thank you.

[@wayneclarke1727]

What a butt load of copper!! Makes me hungry

[@j.j.clingman4083]

You sure do have a pretty weimerunner that I seen there in the video buddy!! I used to raise those kind of bird dogs for years!! They have very very good noses on them for sure or at least the ones I raised did!!

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

This is our 3rd weim we adopted these 2 from a family friend. They love treeing squirrels

[@j.j.clingman4083]

@@diyalaskanlifestyle oh ya they are definitely good hunting dogs!! I had several that won first in some bird competition hunts!! They were ones that I had raised and sold!! I actually have people that baught dogs from me before calling me back wanting another dog that they absolutely loved them and they absolutely had to do less work when going out bird hunting and just couldn’t believe it!! I also tried correcting the long nose on the males to match the females nose length!! I absolutely hated the longer nose length on the males and I definitely had a lot of complaints on that from others!! I sometimes wish I was still raising them kind of dogs but they just got to hipper for me and would definitely end up wearing me out!! Lol!!

[@cjackfly]

Folks... This is Chitna the HARD WAY. Much props due.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Yes it is. Believe it or not I have the perfect boat for chitna it is a 28’ inboard weldcraft. I feel safer tied to a tree then being on that river. I just try and time it when there hopefully won’t be a lot of people there. I’m sure eventually I’ll put the boat on the river.

[@timwilcoxsr2712]

What's the reason for cutting the tails ?

[@kiger363]

Alaska DNR requires the tails to be cut when harvesting fish for subsistence use up here.

[@northjerseygiants9201]

Commercial fish don’t have to be clipped only personal caught fish. You can’t sell a fin clipped fish

[@randallweaver7718]

Im pretty sure down here in Texas they would call that entrapment and fine your ass. Great video. I want to do this.

[@richardsabean5781]

Unless your an illegal then you can do anything,, never a fine ,just free room & board.. lol

[@lexaket]

I couldn't understand, why did you cut the tails? What it's for?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

The fish and game require it for dip netting in Alaska.

[@lexaket]

@@diyalaskanlifestyle Ok, I got it. Just have never heard about it. Good luck.

[@juliantorres8403]

No safety harness wow they brave .

[@davebathie9653]

Is that river full of silt-?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

Yes it is, it’s a very dangerous river people that fall in don’t usually come out that’s why you see us tied off for the most part

[@Новиков-н9к]

Правильно воспитываете сыновей

[@wayneclarke1727]

Damn! That's a happy dance!

[@pilgrimcp]

Nice trailer,how big is it.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

24’deck 2’beaver tail 4’ vee 30’ overall. This is what was left over from the fifth wheel toy hauler I stripped for my bus build. 3 7k lbs axels brakes on all axles and even has a fuel tank with on board fuel pump.

[@Korennoy990]

Зачем они обрезают хвосты у рыбы?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

We cut the tails because it is subsistence fishing and not sport fishing. It is a way for fish & game to differentiate. Sport an subsistence have different bag limits

[@Новиков-н9к]

Это видео по ссылке о том как живут охотники промысловики в далёкой сибири

[@ВладимирАвангардов]

Здравствуйте 🙋‍♂️ Зачем режете хвосты пойманой рыбе??? Hello. Why are you cutting the tails of a fish?

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

It’s a rule that fish & game has for any salmon caught by dipnet

[@planetvegan7843]

If it dont burn gas it aint worth doin.

[@janedoe3095]

I hate sounding like a snowflake but isn’t there a way to determine the exact place you should be hitting the salmon to finish it in a single blow most of the time instead of 3-4? Hunters try to aim for that perfect kill shot so the animal can be humanely dispatched. It just seems that would be a good goal for fishing. Yeah, snowflake.

[@diyalaskanlifestyle]

What you don’t see is my kids carefully putting their very sharp knife through the fish’s gilll’s to bleed them out seconds after stunning the fish. I decided to not put this key piece to our harvesting techniques in the video because of the SNOWFLAKES. 🤪 We hit the fish on the back of their head to stun them and then cut gills immediately to bleed fish out, if this isn’t done the meat will have alot of blood in it.
