Fish spawns on Obama’s shoes — VIDEO

WASHINGTON — During his historic trip to Alaska, President Barack Obama spent some time fishing at Kanakanak Beach in Dillingham and in a comical moment, a salmon spawned on his shoes.

Wearing a pair of orange gloves, Obama examined some of the fish that he caught. The second one he picked up began squirting at his shoes.

"Uh-oh, what's happening there?" he asked.

The woman standing by him explained that the salmon was spawning.

"Did you see that? Something got on my shoes," Obama called to the press. "He was spawning a little bit, which, generally you don't want fish spawning on your feet."

"He was happy to see me," Obama added.
