A Wild Ending to our Week in the Bahamas (Chapter 4)

[@isaacwilson1027]

I gotta say man… there are a ton of channels out there doing similar stuff, but for some reason you are the only one I keep coming back to. Maybe it’s the bias as a fellow App grad who now lives in SLC. Maybe it’s the quality of the footage/editing. Really, I just think you come across as an unpretentious dude who doesn’t let fear of failure, or trying to look cool get in the way of exploring the world and creating genuine content. I appreciate what you do for the community. Keep it up 🤙

[@WildFlyProductions]

Means the world, man! Roll Neers.

[@NativeGamingg]

Agree

[@luresleadoutdoors4167]

It’s crazy how the stars align and things come together and in those moments you may not even realize just how magical that can truly be. From Missing the plane, to picking a completely new spot, to Ivan’s first cast and connecting with that fish was simply magical. This series was beautiful and amazing Scottie. I dream of moments and friendships like this. Well done…well done.

[@bb3866]

I pretty much lived my dream through this series of videos. Pretty much my dream trip. But it will remain a dream. I would have paid theatre ticket prices to watch this. Very well done.

[@jimmypage78ify]

Soo many fish living rent free… You have to stitch these together for a feature length film… this is such a great story.

[@WildFlyProductions]

@@jimmypage78ify we will eventually!

[@JohnMIsom]

Awesome series, and appreciate the grind of the DIY. Caught my first one this year but we had a guide. First spot he took us to had over 200 fish. Was worth the $500 but I bet this was a lot more rewarding.

[@chriswhitney4603]

Scotty, Phelps, Ivan - This series was amazing. There is so much emotion portrayed in the production of these epics, which is exactly what they are. This is by far the best channel out there for our passion! As a trout fisher in the West, I have learned the hard way just how challenging it is to saltwater fish with a guide, let alone DIY. This last episode and the entire series delivered, and I can't believe it ended the way it did. I felt like I was right there, experiencing these moments! I'm not sure what it means to tear up while watching a fly fishing film, but I think it just shows how amazing this sport is. I can't wait to see what comes next! P.S - Don't change the creative approach to these films. The art in the film making and storytelling is just as good as the content presented!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Chris, thanks for the kind words! That truly means the world to hear. It’s a challenge that’s always worth the struggle on the trip. Cheers brother!

[@gregorykjones]

This was amazing! Scottie's story telling transcends fly fishing videos.

[@Timmartin446]

Best fly fishing series/film I've ever seen. So much emotion. You brought us along as if we were there, thanks Scottie. Your channel helps me get through those long weeks or days when I long to be outside. Thanks man. And how that ended was just wild.

[@jaymodry]

Great film guys. I'm home with Covid and really enjoyed your experience on that island...one I've been to a few times myself. Really enjoyed the drone footage of some of my favorite spots. Can't wait to get back there myself next March.

[@millerryan46]

Scotty you are way talented, man. Just bought some gear from your shop to say thanks for providing easily the highest quality fly fishing and adventure content on KZbin by an independent filmmaker. Very grateful! You’ve gotten me through some tough times in med school, and a lot of my fishing plans coming up were inspired by you. Keep it up!!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks a ton my dude!

[@JesseCaraballoOG]

Brad’s the real MVP lol INSANE series, excellent films and story. Bravo 👏

[@WildFlyProductions]

Damn right! Brad is a legend.

[@brianjordan8990]

I don’t know if I’ve ever wanted someone to land a fish so bad. Including myself. Awesome footage guys. You nailed it.

[@wurfag]

This series was something special man. Wonderful to get to follow along digitally!

[@NESalmonidae5151]

You guys make some extremely entertaining films, and it's amazing you're still giving it to us for free. So, Scottie, Will, and Ivan-- thank you guys for your time and dedication to this. It's truly awesome.

[@zachbrown9031]

Storytelling - as well as saltwater angling - grew over the course of this adventure / series. Well done gents

[@dominikweber3683]

Wow. This was incredible I felt like I was there with you. I was so disappointed when you guys were supposed to leave and was so excited to see Ivan got his fish. Really great production. As always you knocked it out of the park.

[@calebkirby9109]

The smile he has the entire time it's on tells the whole story. I got so stoked just watching it happen. Great vid

[@phillipkirkland5418]

What an ending. Great work, guys! Can't help but smile eat to ear!!

[@tomrivera8480]

Freakin awesome!! One of the best feel good fly fishing videos I've seen in a long time!! Beautifully produced!👍👍

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks Tom! Means a lot.

[@vjaldere2]

Sick video. I love the art, spirit, and dedication to the sport. Keep it up brotha!

[@petlemons]

As a trout fisherman from the PNW, I've never had much interest in bonefish. Needless to say, this amazing series has changed my perspective completely!

[@rodneystock8595]

I was soooo excited for Ivan to get that bonefish. When it comes down to it fishing is… fishing. Not necessarily catching. Way to keep after it. It was a blessing that your flight was canceled in order to get your fish. Nice work Scottie, Will and Ivan!!!

[@dawnfirephotography]

This was truly a killer series. Incredible ending! Great work Scotty

[@brentwilson2526]

Excellent series, gents. Beautiful scenery and videography.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks Brent!

[@samuellowe3707]

Dude thanks so much for making these videos. I love fly fishing and it’s the best part of my day watching these films and listening to the podcasts. Thanks so much for what ur doing and please keep up the good work!! Thanks so much for making this great content!!!!

[@broken8wt407]

Always Funny to watch trout fisherman try and tackle the salt. Completely different animal . Great series.

[@matt_wickizer]

So fun to follow along on your journey Scotty! Thanks for taking me with you.

[@RybkaEst]

hello everyone, thank you!!! the music in the footage is the best!)

[@danieldill5214]

rent free...those are the stories. Scottie....this was a great story...taking 4 episodes to tell. Fishing is about the journey. It's a hunt for success - the growth and understanding a new fishery. Wow. What a story. what a hunt. Up at 5 am, fishing til dark every day! What a hunt! The details and the story is in the hunt, not in the catching. There is always more catching of fish, wanting more, doing more. You've put your time in for this trip and the memories/stories will speak for themselves for years to come. I want to watch this series over and again. I almost want to go back to the Bahamas with Ivan just for the sake of the hunt...then he got his bone on bone-us days.... It's also inspiring to find my own DIY hunts. I go on a yearly man trip to the Texas coast. I look forward to 5 days of nonstop fishing all year. Your 7 days share similar themes of the hunt. I can't wait til the next hunt. Keep the stories coming. Well done.

[@Baaaggggsss]

Dudes…what a killer series! Now let’s get to Bolivia for those Golden Dorados.

[@movax_71]

Great Series and an amazing way to end an epic trip. JEALOUS MUCH! Keep up the work so I can live vicariously through you guys. Rip lips and Tight lines!

[@slayfestfishingco]

Such a great series! I don’t typically watch salt water content but these last four videos were epic. Great work!

[@JeramyMinor]

Growing up fishing the salt, both conventional and fly, every day in the flats is a roller coaster of emotions. I can say, for my self at least, that when I get to go out west and target trout it’s similar feelings to what you experienced. The highs, the lows(ebbs and flows), of any day of fishing is rough on the mind and emotions. Some times the universe has a crazy way of giving you the opportunities you don’t think you would get.

[@CrazyAboutFlyFishing]

What an amazing conlusion to an epic series Scottie. This series brought back so many memories of my first couple of bonefish trips. Expertly filmed and exceptionally edited. Hope to see you in New Zealand some day.

[@outtherefilm]

This series was awesome. What an edit. The way I see it, that missed flight was right on time!

[@ranierrentas4818]

Everyone can record on a camera and edit on a computer, Very few can capture the essence, the nature and the sentiment us fly fishermen experience on the on the flats!! Amazing job!

[@danenielson8853]

Such an epic series!! Super well done. Great job guys! Makes me want to go bone fishing now 🙌🏻

[@WildFlyProductions]

Get out there! Worth every penny and tantrum thrown 😅

[@TightLinesNW]

Such a fun series! There is a genuineness (pretty sure that's not a word) to this that really resonated with me. Adversity is such a big part of fly fishing, and really, life in general. Thanks so much for sharing! Looking forward to whatever is next!

[@robbeason]

Sooooo good 33:20. Congrats.

[@seth1530]

Scotty, this series has been great. All of your videos get me so pumped to get out there on the water. Just ordered another sun hoodie from your shop. Seeing your journey from blue lining in North Carolina to traveling the world to all of these places is inspiring. When are you going to Patagonia? South America? Golden dorado next?

[@braedondavis2171]

All the hard work, research, dedication, and a whole lot of luck finally paid off!! Love the videos!!!

[@WildFlyProductions]

A WHOLE LOTTA LUCK 😅Thanks for watching!

[@jeffhansen8993]

This was the best series, you could really feel how hard this type of fishing is😃 You should do a trip to Denmark and catch seatrout and salmon😁

[@jameslisteroutdoors]

I've absolutely loved this while series, but that 'Sittin' on the dock of the bay' sequence was straight awesome 👌

[@WildFlyProductions]

Otis hits different in the salt 😏

[@bhutka]

That was awesome ,it felt like i was there and caught that fish !!! Great guys 👌

[@scottbigelow9387]

So sick with the tracks as soon as the toons started ripping the bones started rippen. Another great film of a dream adventure. Keep rocking boys

[@ChrisCatchesFish]

What an amazing series! The plot twist at the end made it meant to be

[@fishmass690]

Man, there’s nothing better than that feeling of accomplishment after so many failures and all but admitting defeat. It wouldn’t have been so special if it was easy!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Amen! Such a special ending.

[@chrisperia3920]

Incredible stuff!! Thank you for sharing it!

[@brianfinley5261]

That was awesome!! I love your guys stuff!! Keep living the dream and putting out such great videos!!

[@alexredhat3476]

What an epic journey guys. Thanks for sharing it with us. It was fun following it.

[@juans3728]

Fellas i got some sun burn watching you out there in the flats enjoyed your Bonefish expedition, Peace.

[@thomastero4662]

100% Grade A conniption fit by Ivan. Brad is like every Bahamian I've ever met. Had a flat once on North Andros and as we changed it, every person who drove by stopped and asked if we needed help. Lovely people.

[@jameskurtyka230]

Great Show !!! Thanks Jim

[@kylekeinath6702]

Amazing work dude. Doing a DIY to bidger teton in August and can agree with you the anticipation of freedom to fish builds every day!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Wooo! Good luck my dude.

[@stevep5987]

Been waiting for this can’t wait for a large bourbon and to watch this Friday night 😂

[@U.P.FishPAN]

As a fan of years on a few different accounts ive made .. you never fail to capture the drama and heartfelt moments. Great job. Jay seimens and a few others jon b. Are this caliber of channel. Well done. Ever up in michigan boys.. look me up. Fly fishing heaven.

[@d4rksh0gun]

Loved the whole series, thanks so much!

[@Condoug10]

Great video series. Even better finale. Well done gentlemen.

[@CedarOnTheFly]

Awesome series, well done!

[@MopFlyProductions.]

You guys put in the time and got rewarded! Those bones are gorgeous. Thanks for bringing us along for the journey, so fun to watch.

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks for following along!

[@bookerdaniels1401]

Bruh, the VIBES! Also not to mention 90s Beastie Boys, local island riddims, and OTIS MF Redding. You are truly walking in your gifts, walk on, bro!

[@eelpeel]

Nice series! My buddy and I were down there and pretty sure we saw you fellas at Lloyd’s one night. Nice to see the struggle cause I too had a struggle of a trip…didn’t land one until our 7th and final day. Pure relief indeed.

[@biffnolan9668]

A Bahamian guide once told me he’s seen many men humbled by the elusive bonefish. 😂 Awesome series gents, really enjoyed it.

[@fliesnfeathers]

Kickass work Scotty

[@myfliesopen]

Ivan, should have thrown that olive streamer you love sooner..... Great to see you back doing what you do. Can't wait to see more.

[@ygfmedia]

🤣🤣 I'd rather take the skunker than bend the knee to olive streamers.

[@Trouthunter39]

Really enjoyed the series man! Good stuff

[@JacobPuckett-s8d]

Another banger!

[@WildFlyProductions]

Thanks Puckett!

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Awesome stuff, Man! Thanks!

[@matthewlaventure7541]

Brilliant, gents!

[@OscarOverlanding]

Good job boys! Thank you.

[@michaelschweit6771]

Hey, FYI on BahamasAir. They do this kind of switching ALL the time but if you can show them you never got the change and your original itinerary, they will reimburse you. Not sure how far they will go but they caused me to miss my flight back to Los Angeles and after 4 weeks, refunded me 100% the cost of the change. They may screw up but they own it. Good luck and great series/

[@kellysmith2915]

I'm rooting for you!!

[@justinwright2124]

When the almighty chip god brought bone to hand I kid you not I cried.

[@jamespowell6897]

Sick video man your videos just keep getting better and better !!

[@tylersouth1056]

always a treat to watch your vids nice to watch someone with real passion for film and fishing!! Cool to see you do a DIY bonefish show felt bad watching him struggle but that was the worst hook set on that bad luck bone iv see not even a good trout set!! But watching the struggle made it more real been there done that!! Keep up the Awesome vids.

[@ygfmedia]

hand up! that was a bad hookset. 😂😂

[@mikehester4163]

[@Bearhawk_Life]

Cool and congrats to you all. Which Island were you on?

[@highthai7]

That was wild!

[@codycoffey9865]

I see some of you were using clear fly line and I'm really curious if you notice more or less spooking fish or line flash?? did the line stay in coils after casting?

[@armadilloauriemmo5663]

🎸🎣 is all to bee said

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Cool way to deal with a problem

[@carsonjewett3349]

Next time put a satellite tag on one of them so you can track movements over multiple days
