Commercial has snubbed out pretty much the other 2, sport fishing and subsistence fishing. Commercial fishing has 12 / 13 members on the fish and game board that calls the shots for commercial fisheries to get there’s before anyone else. Most commercial fisherman are from the lower 48 and most of the community’s around that area really rely on sport fishing and oil to keep them afloat. Commercial fisheries have pretty much made the Kenai King salmon extinct. Commercial fisheries on the Kenai need to be cut in half at least, this video doesn’t say what is really happening.

What you are saying is you would like more of the resource allocated to you. Don’t demonize your neighbor in the process. Most commercial fishermen are from Alaska in this specific fishery. They are our friends and neighbors.

This area has been sustainably commercial fished for over 100 years. Most commercial salmon fishermen in AK are resident. You are misinformed or lying to advocate for easier fishing for yourself.

@Randy Bienia maybe if you count trawlers, Bristol Bay, and the Bering Sea fisheries. There are some out of state people one the Kenai...but a large part of them live and work year round. This is a specific fishery we are talking about here. Also thats an easy thing to say about commercial fisherman being from out of state. Where are you finding your statistics? Craig Medred or the actual State of Alaska? Craig clearly has a bias against commercial fishing in general.

The Kenai peninsula and Cook Inlet are an awesome fishery, I just got back to Minnesota from there and filled my freezer with some great halibut,silvers and rockfish. We had a blast and everyone we met were great! Fished outa ninilchik. Keep up the informative videos👍

In my eyes the most harmful activity is dip netting. I think it is much more harmful than commercial fishing. There has been a huge decline in the red runs that corolates with dip netting. I would like to see it stopped for good. If you can't get your fish with a rod and reel just stay at home. The amount of garbage and the influx of people is not wanted by the locals that I know.

Dip-netters harvest before the fish sonar. Red salmon have nearly reached or exceeded maximum escapement goals for the last few years. That is just a fact. Doesn’t mean you have to like dip netting, but the sockeye runs are healthy enough to sustain the fishery.

Commercial fisherman help the the salmom runs in the river!!!!! That is by far the dumbest thing I've ever heard! Then 30 seconds later you say the salmon haven't been returning with the numbers that they normally have!!! ..... news flash! Commercial fishing does not help salmon runs in any River! Period!

I explain why... it’s like anything else in biology populations fluctuate based on what the environment can sustain. If you limit wild swings in population you can get maximum environmental capacity over a long period of time.

Yeah, you still need a sport fishing license, and you also need a permit picked up from their office. senior residents can get a free lifetime fishing license including the king stamp. I remember a story about a guy who caused a big stink after he shot and ate a swan because it's allowed under subsistence.
