Dino lands on a hotspot, but he must fend off desperate fishermen to keep it.

Exploring the harsh working environments endured by Alaska's fishermen. On the last day of the season Dino lands on a hotspot, but he must fend off desperate fishermen to keep it.

A h-uile samhradh tha bradain a' dèanamh an slighe suas a Chaolas Cook airson sìolachadh anns na ceudan de aibhnichean. A' feitheamh orra tha Balaich Iasgach Alasga, deiseil airson an glacadh aon uair eile. Ann an dhà no trì sheachdainean feuchaidh iad an tuarasdal bhliadhnail aca a dhèanamh a dh'aindeoin trioblaidean teicnigeach, sìde chaochlaideach, daoine a' dol an aghaidh
a chèile agus poilis na stàite a' cumail sùil gheur orra.

Air an là mu-dheireadh den t-sèasan tha Dino a' lorg pailteas de dh' èisg ach tha feum aige an t-àite a dhìon bho na h-iasgairean eile. Tha Wes ann an trioblaid le einnsean briste agus le sin, tha coltas ann gu bheil an là aige seachad, mus fhaigh e air tòiseachadh. Gu deas, tha Taylor ga fhaighinn fhèin air a chuairteachadh le bàtaichean eile agus feumach air comhairle bho athair. Nuair a tha Gavin a' smaointinn gu bheil cùisean a' dol gu math, tha e a' sracadh an lìon aige ach chan eil sin a' dol a chur bacadh air.

Every summer, schools of salmon swim from the Pacific Ocean through the Cook Inlet and up more than one hundred rivers and streams to spawn in what is an epic migration. Waiting at the end of their journey, the Alaskan fishermen are ready to net the catch of a lifetime. They attempt to make an entire annual wage in a few short weeks while facing mechanical breakdowns, unpredictable weather, heated confrontations and rigorous state police patrolling.

On the last day of salmon fishing season Dino lands on a hotspot, but he must fend off desperate fishermen to keep it. Meanwhile, after an engine failure, Wes's day might be over before it begins. At the southern end of the fishing zone things get crowded for Taylor, and he must turn to his father for advice. And after a strong start, Gavin tears his net but refuses to give up.
