This began as a dry discussion of trap types, and ended up with gun fights, legal battles, piracy, and everything else that goes with Alaskan fishing!
As mentioned before, the Funter Bay cannery operated mainly with fish traps (vs fishing boats). These traps were designed to intercept salmon as they returned to spawning streams, penning them in large fixed nets until they could be scooped out.

Commercial Fishing Video Of The Day | Halibut Fishing: A Family Affair
The 102-year-old halibut fishing schooner Tordensjkold spearheads a small fleet of Seattle-based commercial fishing vessels as they steam into their second centuries on the Alaska fishing grounds. Halibut fishing schooner-style is and always has been a family affair. Some of these venerable vessels have been passed from father to son to grandson and nearly everybody in this most historic of commercial fisheries has a blood relationship to the fleet. These old boats aren’t hobby vessels or museum pieces; they’re hardened work boats that compete head-to-head with modern vessels, as they’ve been doing since 1911. Climb aboard a halibut schooner in this excerpt from Tordenskjold: Boat of the Century. Check out NauticalMedia on Youtube for other great fishing video treats

Commercial fishing in Alaska has defined my life for the past 16 years. When I'm not fishing, I take to the interwebs and try to keep up with all tech things that move so much faster than me.
