Guy Catches Salmon With His Bare Hands In Alaskan Stream

The whole purpose of fishing of course, is to catch some fish, but as lots of fishermen will tell you, there’s a lot more to it than that as it also reduces anxiety and stress. Just being with nature and hearing the sounds of the waves and the fresh air are enough to soothe the nerves and calm the mind. One of the remarkable things about fishing is that it manages to relax you while at the same time generates excitement. While many people take it up as a hobby because it’s a lot of fun there are also those who do because it relieves stress.

No fishing pole? No problem. While fishing can be an expensive hobby that can cost thousands with fancy new equipment, this man demonstrates that all you need to catch salmon in this body of water is a little bit of luck and your bare hands. Although the idea of hand fishing is simple enough, this “simpler” process requires a lot of technique. Hand fishing also requires an understanding of the fish’s habitat. However, it's not impossible to catch a fish with your bare hands - it's just a little tricky, and the guy in this video has a great way of doing it.

Watch out, everyone. We've got an awesome guy over here. As this Alaskan salmon fights its way upstream to spawn, a visitor manages to reach into the water and catch it using only his hands! Not to worry, the fish was released back into the water unharmed. Catching fish with bare hands, of course, requires patience, and you are going to wait a while if you are after the big fish. One of the things you need to learn is patience and that’s going to come in handy not just for fishing but life in general.

The combination of being patient and suddenly realizing there’s a catch is exhilarating. The key to successful fishing is being observant and mindful, and these act as stress relievers. There is no doubt that in this frothy water, the visibility is beyond zero and that this fish swims as quickly as this stream flows, so catching this salmon with bare hands makes the task even more difficult. This guy has either a crazy luck or he is so skilled that catching a fish with his bare hands is just as simple as a walk in the park.

There are all sorts of people inhabiting our planet, and there are those that their brave actions are on the borderline of insanity. If you take a look at the following video, you will know what we are talking about. At the start of the clip, a man named Adam can be seen racing along the beach in an orange shirt. He reaches the object and hauls it out of the water with his bare hands as it flops about. It is a shark caught by a fishing line and it on the shore. We see how he hauls the shark out of the water as it flops about and another person removes the hook from the shark's mouth. The video later shows Adam dragging the shark on the beach and toward the water before watching it swim away. How crazy, isn’t it?
