This is the pink salmon run.
They're about to head into the Duwamish River.
This is kind of like
the last part of the sea
that they're going to be in.
And they are thick.
There's like
two different schools right now
behind me,
kind of just swirling around in this
boat yard, I guess it is.
And they're about to head
into the river and start spawning.
-I don't think you ever see
this amount of fish go up river
in the middle of a city.
-Never seen so many people
having so much fun.
♪♪
-Shoulder to shoulder every day. All day.
Every time the pinks are here,
this is what it's
going to be like.
-Two fish is the limit.
So some years
it's four fish limit,
so you can get your four
within 30 minutes and then
be done for the day.

-They are
basically the
easiest salmon to catch.
(Heads up!)
Anybody can go
out and catch them
and they're often
really close to the shore.
♪♪
Because of how
many people are here,
there's people that need to work together
to use nets and
not cross over each other.
All sorts of stuff.
♪♪
All you need is a rod and
a pink lure. That's about it.
Kind of just brings in everybody,
like people just wanting to fill up
the freezers, and have food for their family,
stuff like that.
Anybody can do it.
It's quite easy to do it.
You just got to
find the people.
It definitely helps on the
population of the fish
and keeping that
in check for everybody
so that this can last for years on.
It's a good atmosphere.
It's a great time out here.
I love being out here.
Nothing better.
This is the best time of year
to be here for your salmon fishing.
-Here it is.
-It is a good fish.
-Yeah, that's a nice,
nice eating.
