9 Wild Coho and Sockeye Salmon on Stringer in Seward, Alaska

Alaska has over 6,000 miles of coastline, three million lakes and 3,000 rivers so commercial fishing is a huge industry and sport fishing is a passion. The state has five species of wild salmon but, for some reason, each type has two names. The king (chinook), the pink (humpback), the chum (keta) and shown here on a stringer are the sockeye (red) and the silver (Coho). These six fish on a stringer are the daily personal limit. They average two feet long and about eight pounds. Delicious!
