Joe Zuray Checks His Fish Net for King Salmon at Rapids

Fishing for King Salmon on the Yukon River is not for sport. People put up large amounts of the migrating fish that come up the river, some traveling more than a thousand miles to their spawning grounds. Promised you a video of my son Joe checking his King Salmon net after I uploaded the one of him setting his net out (see https://youtu.be/x5u51ih480A). The first video shows how simple setting can be for someone who does it a lot. This one here is probably more rewarding and fun to watch.
Note: Been getting a large amount of questions about why the rocks are used to sink the net. Because of new regulations on mesh size our many family nets are now illegal and we are using a net too short to catch much fish, because it only fishes about the top 6' of the water. Eventually we will make a deeper net. Normally rocks are never used like this and they are a lot of trouble every time we check the net. Using the rocks to stretch the net vertically and sink towards the bottom away from currents is the only way we have found to make the short net catch any fish. Stan Zuray
