So some of you may have heard of the "world famous" Kenai river in Alaska. Well a friend came back and said fishing was great for "reds" (sockeye) but said it was more "combat" style fishing then anything else.

I thought this was weird since I think of Alaska sort of as the final frontier.

So I looked up on youtube and lo and behold, combat fishing at it's finest even in Alaska - makes the Vedder look not so bad when you consider how close it is to a major city lol...and yes, they are bottom bouncing predominantly.

The funny thing is that the sockeyes are probably moving upstream behind where the fishermen are casting.

That's one crowd I wouldn't want to fish with.

Besides able to release unintended species, another reason why we use barbless hooks here in BC - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6HUN0-UlGc&mode=related&search=
