This is called combat fishing. So named because everyone lines up and attempts to kill invisible and elusive Salmon. I also heard it suggested, that it if you inadvertently cross lines with someone... costing them their fish... their may actually be another reason for this label. Please note the weary satisfaction of the guy who is trying to land his fishy and the congratulatory scowls of every single other person in the shot. Except for the, soon to removing a deeply imbedded fish hook from his forehead, guy. Who already caught his fish and is now spending his time dodging work. And of course is now informing everyone, that somebody has finally listened to all the excellent advice he's bee sharing for the last two hours since he landed one. This is a fine example of the Alaskan sense of Machismo, since there really is no handy spot for an ambulance to reach this location.
