Was It Stuck or Not?/King of King's:Was It Stuck or Not?
"Last year when I went to Chuilinuq, my husband Frank took me up with our snow machine, then left me and went wolf hunting. There were a lot of others there with me, including Terri and Bill Manumik and some people from downriver. Where I was there were no fish, but I sadly sat on the ice and manaqed any way. A little while later I felt something on the hook. It didn't feel like it was a bite because it didn't pull. It felt like something was stuck, so I started pulling up the hook. It was really heavy, I had to wrap the string around my arm three times. When I finally got the stuck thing out of the hole in the ice I saw that it was a fish-- a big fish! It turned out to be a pike, and it was really heavy. When I held it up it was a little higher than my waist. After that I caught two or three other big fish in a row. I was really happy."

"In 1982 I used to fish in the Y1 district at the mouth of the Yukon River. I used to fish 24 and 36 hour commercial fishing openings all by myself, and I never used to have a helper. One time during a 36 hour King salmon opening I caught an 86 pound King salmon. That was the biggest fish I ever caught." By Camille Boliver | |
