August 18, 08 A Coho salmon is caught off the coast of Prince of Whales Island Alaska. Trolling for salmon is considered the "high-end" fishery because the way they catch is not harmful to the fish, in fact any by-catch or non-keeper salmon can be tossed back with little damage to the fish. So since the fish are in such good shape when caught, on individual hooks on long lines, they can be brought in and prepared or dressed (gutted and bled) and then iced within minutes and then within hours are on the troll tender that fillets and vacume pacs and then flash freezes them, so that most of the fresh caught fish for pricier consumption is troller caught, United States of America
