I knew you were on the cruise, that's why I slipped in the tweek. You sure hit some good weather, although we locals think that 100 is a mite warm. I'm sure glade I put in air conditioning last year.
...and a dog salmon, whatever that is.
Dog Salmon (Oncohyncus Keti) is more commonly known as Chum Salmon. Here is what one Alaska website has to say:
Historically chum salmon have been one of the most abundant fish species in specific regions of Alaska. In the huge Yukon River and Kuskokwim River Drainages of Western Alaska, chums are particularly important . During the period when sled dog teams were used as a major means of winter transportation chums provided a readily available source of protein to feed the dog teams -- hence the nickname, Dog Salmon. You'll also discover these fish fight like a vicious junkyard dog. Like king salmon, a dog prefers to slug it out in the depths as it surges downriver on long powerful runs. When you think it's time to land your junkyard dog, the dog will likely surprise you with incredible stamina and ability to summon unfathomable strength for additional power fighting tactics.
