What the creator captured
Eater joined fisherman Kyle Lee in the Gulf of Alaska to experience the high-stakes process of intercepting Copper River salmon during their spawning run. After hours of searching and moving spots, the team successfully caught a sockeye salmon by strategically scaring it into the net's hook. The experience highlighted the 'ruthless optimism' required for commercial fishing and the specific techniques used to preserve the quality of the world's fattiest salmon.
