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

in this video we make a trip down to the Copper River to catch our Red Salmon for the year. We had an extremely awesome trip with over 100 Red Salmon caught and 2 kings in less then 3 hrs. We are allowed to keep 65 fish for our family which we did in record time. We hit the run just right and limited out in under 3 hrs. Plus bonus video I take my family up to the HOO DOO Mtns for a fresh salmon dinner date

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

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!!!
