Lucas Ferber
Owner-Fisherman
In 2017, I was provided with the opportunity to fish commercially in Bristol Bay, Alaska on the fishing vessel "Cowboy". I quickly fell in love with the work, rugged landscape, and of course the salmon. Each summer since, as the sockeye begin their annual spawning migration, I head north to fish. I’ve always been fortunate to be able to bring back a few fillets to share with friends and family. I realized that living in a community in the midwest, we don’t have great access to quality seafood or the ability to feel a connection to the fishermen that harvest it. In 2021 Wild Source Salmon LLC was formed with the goal of providing a traceable and fishermen direct source of wild salmon from our boat to the local community. My true passion lies in sharing premium salmon from a truly sustainable fishery and telling the story of the catch from our deck to your dish!
