Alaska's Salmon Fishermen

Veteran skippers Wes and Dan, along with the young but eager Gavin are feeling optimistic towards this year's salmon season, predicted to be one of the biggest in decades. The early optimism quickly turns to frustration as one of our veteran skippers gets caught fishing out of bounds by the Wildlife Troopers. Meanwhile, our green horn skipper Gavin is on the fish and pulls in a huge haul to end day one on top. Day two brings some of the worst weather to hit the inlet in years. With bills to pay and salmon to slay our skippers boldly brave the weather and high seas in hopes to bring home boats full of sockeye salmon.
