08 Alaska Bound: Hitting Our Limit in Valdez

[@fatguytravels7409]

Nikki be the Fish Killer ;) Beautiful scenery and little peek of the NorthWestern... Kinda cool...

[@steveo1kinevo]

nikki kills the fish in one hit...jason gives it a back massage

[@PatrickWagz]

meat tenderizer!?? haha

[@46619TAB]

The last time I went boat fishing was when I was still in Key West. Beautiful scenery, sun, warm water, a bit of snorkeling, great people and all about catch and release. I will never understand people thatgo to Alaska to fish and miss the best parts of the experience because it's so cold.

[@nielswil]

I don't like fishing and eating fish, but catching them and preparing them above a campfire with friends and something to drink (beer but i prefere cola, lol) would be priceless and something i would like to do before i get old. Thanks for sharing.

[@pamelapumphrey8127]

watching your videos sure make me miss home and the great fishing. I grew up in Alaska and plan to go back once we buy our first RV . thank you so much for all the fun adventures and misadventures

[@japnjim9684]

Hi folks, I loved it when you showed the FV North Western at 10.44. I love those men and their stories about the Deadliest Catch. I have so much respect for Sig and Edgar Hanson I can not tell you. Thanks for the great vid. Jim in CA.

[@sociopathmercenary]

That looks like tons of fun! Congrats! I have to admit to laughing a bit as Jason whacked his fish... Again... And again.... Lol

[@garycloud9631]

Great job limiting out in one of my favorite places, Alaska. Beautiful.

[@enosfruit]

Some of the best fish in the world. amazing catches and fantastic food!

[@jamielancaster01]

You two look so natural on the boat you should sale the RV & start sailing full time🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@gonewiththewynns]

😆😜

[@jenniewilliamsmural]

I love that you got these beautiful fish - and was this near where the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989 - that life can spring back and we can taste it again. Warmest regards to you two, happy trails.

[@flosiin]

Wow that looks like fun! Your friends sound like great teachers.

[@robertanderson2285]

Great video, guys! Have fun!

[@RedJaguar100Travels]

You guys are awesome...! Between you and Chris Travels, I am convinced that I must visit Alaska. The views are to die for.. Great Job on catching the salmon to..

[@nickhouben5834]

Good job guys. Great fisherman and fisherwoman. Enjoy your dinner. Awesome

[@littlegoobie]

Nice video. I don't know when you were there, but I can barely remember any cloudy days this summer. You must have been there very early to venture into the 3 fish limit territory. a good watch. If you're not into the gravel lot deal, try glacier out by the airport or bear creek on the way to town.

[@gonewiththewynns]

+littlegoobie We were there on the 4th of July!

[@littlegoobie]

+Gone with the Wynns Ah, yes, july 4th is early for silvers for sure which would explain the scene going out by Tatitlek. I'd like to check out that place some day but i believe it's by invitation only. You need to go back another year to see how it usually goes, this season's silvers were on the small side.

[@masimons]

Trust that was your new friends boat. Did fishing too while up in Alaska, but when you figure in renting boat and license it's usually cheaper to buy fish there. Admittedly not as much fun. Good video.

[@bd5son]

Fresh salmon great, steak of the ocean. Looks like a great trip.

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hi Jason and Nicole Great looking shots of the land and Congratulations Nicole on the fish

[@zephyr2731]

Beautiful! Thanks!

[@chriswildoner]

Greg and Daniel were amazing hosts! ok, when my wife and I take our boat out to go grouper fishing, she brings in the biggest fish! glad I'm not the only one being shown up by his wife! :) looks like a great time!

[@MikeSheasheaDtree]

I have been on some fishing "trips" your hosts were good peeps. ;-)

[@RaisedinAlaska]

Fun Video. I feel like I need to go fishing now. Thanks.

[@DMACHOLMAN]

Looks like you guy's had a great time. When I was there we didn't get to fish but it looks like fun.. The Bonk on the head of the fish was a new one for me but if that's what needed to be done okay. 👍

[@richardyates2910]

I was working the salmon plant in the habor y'all were coming in and out. hopefully y'all did the 8 mile hike to the best waterfall.

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Richard Yates We did and it was BEAUTIFUL!

[@richardyates2910]

+Gone with the Wynns I thought so too, and plan to go back, but next as a vacation. I fell in love with freestyle rock climbing there.

[@0HARE]

Wow, you guys Rock! That was Fun! Thanks for another quality video. Happy Trails!

[@noviceprepper53]

well done fisherpeople. loved the views. loved seeing you catch, kill (sad), clean and prepare to eat your catch. liked that you could take 3 each; sustainable. even liked that you stopped fishing when the weather got abit wet instead of pushing on for the halibut. thanks for sharing. really enjoy your videos.

[@ArkansasMike]

Looks like a lot of fun!

[@RVTriking]

Nice video! Great day of fishing and fantastic views!!

[@bigwillvtwin70]

another great day. good stuff guys, enjoying your journey with you :-) :-) :-)

[@vagabond-yj8pn]

Nice of your friends to take you out.

[@CycleCruza]

I tried my best to get into fishing but I still feel it's the most boring thing to do, I'd rather be riding my motorcycle. Alaska has such beautiful views though. I need to get out there. I love the mountains!

[@gonewiththewynns]

+CycleCruza I will tell you, I don't like fishing but I do love catching. big difference in boredom levels. :) The Alaska roads, especially the Richardson Highway leading into Valdez would be an amazing motorcycle trip! -nikki

[@CycleCruza]

Gone with the Wynns I never caught a fish so you are probably right. lol I'm going to have to plan a trip to Alaska!

[@definitelynotatroll]

CycleCruza Wait, You watch the wynns

[@scuzzbecuzz]

That looked like fun!

[@09970]

At 10:45 that is the crab boat Northwestern from the show Deadliest Catch, and owned by the Hansen brothers. Very famous boat.

[@deibertmichael]

Wow what a score!

[@Scorpiomary]

neat.. congrats Nikki!!

[@devartt1]

Good job guys. Sorry you didn't get any halibut but that was some good looking salmon,and you had fun. I enjoy all ya'lls videos so keep up the good work. Have a good day.

[@gonewiththewynns]

+devartt1 Thanks!

[@Yurkevich22]

I was in Valdez the day this video was published! What a coincidence)) I live in Anchorage and we RV'd to Valdez with friends. You guys make great videos!

[@waltdoyle399]

You guys are awesome !

[@lenspicks]

Enjoy your channel planning on a road trip soon! Just curious did you get a fishing license and how great you found wonderful friends to help you enjoy and learn

[@michaela.l1618]

Nice video, I Love fishing too👍

[@tequilatravels5010]

Saw the Northwestern too .

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Dizzy FOREVER There were a lot of the deadliest catch boats there! It was cool to see them all catching salmon too with their giant nets. We have additional photos of the Rogue on the post that goes with this video. gonewiththewynns.com

[@KyLewisDesign]

Nice catch, guys!

[@gwenmcclure6295]

So funny you had to pause the video for "Sensitive people" before you killed a fish. Where do people think their fish sticks come from when they buy them at Walmart? Fish stick farms? :)

[@TomsBackwoods]

That was awesome!

[@dst6619]

beautiful scenery and nice fish !! whish i was there ! 😉

[@MrPotomas]

was that "the" Northwestern that we saw?

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Ron Manning a couple famous "Deadliest Catch" vessels in Prince William Sound while we were there :)

[@Mark_Lawler]

+Ron Manning Yah at the 10:45 mark. I had to pause and zoom in. Looks like one in the same.

[@TheCloudhopper]

+Ron Manning Quite a few of the crab boats use to tender for salmon during salmon season, meaning they offload the smaller boats and land their catch, so that the salmon boats can keep fishing.

[@littlegoobie]

I've seen all of them there at one point or another with the exception of the Wizard, that one might be too big to get into the small boat harbour, not sure. This year there were maybe 5 show boats (haha) including the Cornelia marie. Wild Bill was there at a peter pan booth one summer when he was still with the Kodiak, but other than that, i think most of the boats are run by another crew when they're set up for tendering vessels.

[@NewBeginningswithBudhiandCyndi]

I am not a fisherman, but have to say that looked like fun.

[@claire_A-T]

Jason, I feel your pain... being left handed with a right handed reel.. I had to have one of the crew reel my Halbit in. No left handed reels on that boat either. I was beside myself trying to reel that fish in off the 200 foot bottom I don't Know what I would have done without the young man from the crew to help.I was out off the Homer Spit. also went kyaking.Have you tried that sport yet?

[@driver0161]

Somebody mentioned 50 shades of grey, I'm sure Nikki would be shouting "harder Jason damn it, HARDER", great vid.

[@margaretrosin7853]

Oh my gosh, that looks like so much fun! That's the only way to eat fish- one that you caught fresh from the water into the pan. Was that not the best tasting salmon you ever had? Can't wait to go to Alaska! #alaskafishingonmybucketlist

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Margaret Rosin It is so incredible and I hope you scratch that one off of your bucket list soon!

[@GrumpyOldMan70]

Very cool!

[@jglassman1122]

Amazing how red the fresh wild salmon is.

[@mushmouth69]

What brand is the teal jacket with the red trim Nikki is wearing on the boat?

[@levidaisyyoung220]

wonder if this is where you sailing bite came from? Nikki, I couldn't watch you hit the fish. but you and Jason did a great job 👏👏🤸‍♀🤸‍♀✨ so competitive you two.. lol...

[@VernonWallace]

When are you guys moving up to Alaska?

[@ADVJason]

Very cool video. Love you videos. Lots of info and lots of cool places you go. I enjoy the same type of traveling except we have a pull behind camper. And also have done a lot on a motorcycle. I have ridden up to AK on my motorcycle several times. I have a video about one of the trips...well rather some of the area we rode. I need to do some editing and make a cool video like yours. \ Keep up the great videos. Oh and she totaly out fished you Jason. Sorry buddy at least you know you won't go hungry with her around LOL... Just playing Take care guys. Be Safe. Hope to catch up to you on the road sometime.

[@bill-t2j]

Awesome. So jealous

[@victorgomes7585]

Fantastic catch! Is it that " easy" most days?

[@rankie7288]

omg I just watch ur guys trip and here I am laughing my pants off at Niki when she hit the silver salmon in the head. it feels like I am alright there with you guys fishing can't wait to go fishing...luv ur guys vids

[@ImASurvivorNThriver]

LOVED THIS VIDEO! Hey, did you guys store all of your catch in the freezer, or did you pressure can the remainder in glass mason jars? I would have canned it FOR SURE! :-) Thanks for sharing.

[@gonewiththewynns]

+imasurvivornthriver Smoked some and froze some, wish we would have canned more

[@japnjim9684]

Wish you could have caught a Halibut. That's my favorite fish for steaks or fish@chips. Wonderful white meat. Take care. Jim in CA.

[@Iexpedite1]

Jason don't feel bad about the multi hit thing. I always seem to do the same thing, and I hunt and fish regularly. If I need to dispatch something while hunting or if I am trying to kill a fish I always get stuck between killing and not wanting to hurt the quarry. I guess you get to thinking that you don't want it to suffer and the best way to do that is be gentle....which couldn't be further from the truth. I always have to remind myself to really get in there and do the job, anything less is cruel.

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Iexpedite1 I eventually got the hang of it, like you said it's best for the fish even thought it's difficult for me to do.

[@GeorgeBunyon01]

I hope you don't mind, but what editing software do you use to edit your videos? I love your videos!

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

I'd drive up to Alaska just for the halibut. Too bad you did not throw in a can of oil and then throw back a few beers in a toast to Cpt Hazelwood.

[@AprilleShepherd]

SO YUMMY !!!!!!!

[@Philip05932]

Did you go to maccarty!

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Filip Novakovic We did, we have a video coming up soon from our experience there.

[@Philip05932]

Great! Hope you will enjoy the rest of the trip!

[@BourgeoisPhotography]

are you coming to the Top of the World? I live up here in Barrow. Let me know if you FLY up. You can't drive your RV up but take a flight up and Ill show you around! Namaste' :) ;)

[@cechk01]

is Nikki's fishing rod upside down?

[@sammylee9916]

luv you guys so fun

[@rjahn3000]

Nice, a small fortune in Salmon, way better than Safeway prices:)

[@regould221]

+Ray J Until you factor in the price of the boat, gas, 2 cycle oil, fishing gear, bait, and license. But it's still fresher than Safeway.

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

did i run into you guys somewhere? eklutna tailrace? willow creek? kenai river? i swear i had a conversation with you guys somewhere last summer..im all over Alaska depending on where the fish are.. but i cant help but think i met you and you guys were asking me questions..

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

oh and dude..you gotta wack that fish hard. we usually cut the gills and bleed them before bashing them in the head..gets the blood out of the fish faster which in turn keeps the meat fresher..but the guide probably didnt wanna have all that blood all over the deck..

[@gonewiththewynns]

+matanuska high I don't know, we met a ton of kind Alaskans that were happy to assist us newbies!

[@DaebakMonkey]

That is what I do too.

[@jddr.jkindle9708]

Nice Video - I want to go. Was this before or after Burning Man '2015? Would like to meet you at Burning Man '2016. James BRC EMT-Medic

[@gonewiththewynns]

+jd dr.jkindle Our burning man videos are from 2014 as we were still in Alaska so we couldn't make it to BM this year. Hopefully 2016 and we'd love to meet you. If so, you can find us at the AEZ camp. I am whipper snapper on the playa. -nikki

[@johncnorris]

If you two were characters on The Walking Dead season 1, I know who wouldn't be on season 2. :-( Just saying... PS - The fishes never had a chance!

[@dphotos007]

Is that the place where they had the big oil spill?

[@regould221]

+dphotos That would be Prince William Sound which is in that area.

[@phantomlake640]

I'm confused ... 3 weeks ago you were in Chicago, 2 weeks ago in Alaska, last week in Arizona, and now back in Alaska???

[@masimons]

+PhantomLake me too. Figured they just hadn't gotten around to editing this one.

[@blinggnilb2]

Flying RV!!

[@gonewiththewynns]

+PhantomLake editing video takes quite a bit of time so we edit when we can and share when the video is complete. You'll likely see our AK videos for months.

[@Vitoandolini13]

wicked good

[@baileyfontenot1390]

Awesome

[@MrMarkCaudill]

awesome

[@Dr.Pepper001]

Will alcohol squirted into the gills do the same thing as a whack on the head?

[@vickieramos9764]

love the hair color,everybody is going fishing but me

[@jay-2556]

Hello guys, i know this is an old vid, but it looks like even back then you were loosing gear to the fish. 🤔😉 lol keep doing what you are doing its great and its working!

[@onpermanentvacation1587]

nice !!

[@nascarjimmy7749]

hate to get you mad at me!!! way to go!!

[@deborahwest2643]

I am fairly new to you two and have been following the Tny House Movement for awhile and just ran across you guys. I love that you quit the rat race and started traveling. I dream of doing the same but cannot get my partner to sign on so I privetly dream of going solo. I'm on SSD so I get a bit of a monthly income and have a bad back so I don't see this happening unless I win the lottery LOL. In the meantime, I live my life vicariously through your videos. Thank you, you guys are really good travel advertizers. I know this is off-topic but I LOVE your hair color? I love the red in the brown. What color did you use?

[@Maggie3039]

how can you tell a female from a male? and is there a rule how many and how big/ small they have to be to take?

[@akush55]

wow just found out some info : remember the tire plug issue some said that worst tool for RV tires ~ weather forecast are say early winter some part of northwest coast are cool off under 60deg ~ odd news some gas station in lower 48 have gas per gallon under 2.00 with few hitting $1.75 get back soon don't wanna be IRR Ice Road RVing

[@criswisner8128]

The Northwestern...! From Deadliest Catch

[@Winterwalker2010]

Wow Jason, ya hit like a pansy Sure do extend the pain and suffering! Man it up a bit!!!.

[@brendanmaines6840]

hey, i was there at this time

[@lawrenceconstantine7735]

you are know Alaskan fisher men

[@loopsprice3128]

The boat fishes until the boat limit. This way everyone has there limits. I was out one year and got six fish.. my other brothers where mad at me... so have it... sorta like your where on that day,,, it just happens...

[@JohnDavis-jw2zl]

yummy

[@olivia_agnes]

I feel so bad for those fish!

[@playirl]

Fish Beaters

[@cdnsk12]

A crappy landing net & poor netting technique. My nephew would kick my ass if I netted hooked fish like that. The deckhand improved later in the video.

[@nunativs]

I think Jason should be vegan, killing does not come naturally to him, (not that that is a bad thing...)

[@4168490136]

Don't appreciate the killing.

[@TaxationIsTheft69420]

I don't appreciate overly sensitive people...

[@greyprepper]

pussy

[@regould221]

+Tony Gill In nature every animal survives by killing something else.

[@joycemetheny8338]

What a little wussy , cant even knock out a fish , I hope you never need him to protect you.

[@janetsnakehole9345]

I LOVE you guys and have followed all of your adventures, but for Christ Sake, Kill the goddamn fish already, don't make it suffer!
