I'm up in Alaska for a weeks vacation visiting a brother in law, and after 2-3 hours of trolling in his aluminum skiff brought in 28 pounds of chrome bright Silver Salmon..............yum.
Firing up the smoker tomorrow, then canning them in Kerr jars ourselves.
double yum.
~6 pound silver fresh in the net.
Our 5 fish / 28 pounds at the fillet table.
And then next to our personal 16 foot aluminum skiff which cost about $4 in gas money, there was the $$$ professional charter boat with ~8 tourists on it, at $300 a head, that's ~$2500 for a 1/2 day fishing for them, there are 4-5 halibut hidden under this mound of salmon.
wow that's a LOT of filleting work to do!!!
