We snuck a quick drift in this evening with a good friend and Cooper hooked up a feisty King Salmon that jumped like crazy, with an unforgettable ariel finale as he swam port to bow to starboard stern in just seconds, skipping across the water like a dolphin and spitting the hook back at us! Even I had never seen one do just that. His final hook-free jump seemed like a poetic farewell… We didn’t even mind losing this round, this kind of fishing is incredibly fun no matter the final outcome!
Cooper’s Jumper!
About the Author: The Alaska Dream
Our family of six has been living the Alaska Dream on the world famous Kenai River for the past 15+ years, enjoying the bounty of the land & sea in everything we do! All of our children were born in Alaska, and both of us have lived here for 30+ years. We love sharing the Alaska Dream with visitors from around the corner and around the world and we especially love to help families and children catch their 1st salmon, halibut or rainbow trout and learn how to care for it all the way through the process of cooking it in delicious gourmet Alaska fashion. Enjoy reading our Alaska Fishing Report, Cooking Alaska Fish & Game, Alaska Photo of the Week and other sections of our website The Alaska Dream and we hope to have the chance to help you experience YOUR Alaska Dream someday too!
