Biggest Fish in the
World
During the summer of '95, Leslie Hunter, Walter
and I commercial fished for Kings near Cunningham Mountain, which is
called Qengaq in Yupik.
Before summer we got prepared for fishing so that
when the kings arrived we would be ready for a good season. And
although the prices were fairly low, we did pretty good on the amount
of fish we caught.
Our first couple of drifts were fun because we
were catching a lot of fish. As we continued to drift, the amount of
fish began slacking off. But we kept going because we knew that we
wouldn't be making any profit if our net was out of the
water.
After several times drifting it got pretty boring
because we weren't catching as much fish as we were at the start of
the opening. But once when we were pulling in the net we caught
another big run. And that made the end of the period much more fun.
Parts of the net were underwater because there were still a few fish
in it. I was taking care of the lead line because it is much heavier
and that's where most of the fish get caught.
As I was pulling in the net it got real heavy and
I was having a hard time pulling it in. I thought that we'd caught a
snag or something. But when the "something" came up it was a huge
King salmon. The head was so big that the 4 1/2 in. net mesh got
stuck around its gills. Only half of its body was in the boat, and
since I didn't want to lose it, I gaffed the huge fish and threw it
in the boat.
After I was done untangling the net I threw the
fish in the tote. It was really enormous and measured a foot and a
1/4 wide. It stood about five feet tall when I lifted it off the
floor. And it weighed approximately 70 pounds. We were really
freaking out because that was the biggest King salmon we ever
saw!
