ALASKA FISHING ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME! Wild Trout, Salmon, and Bears!!!

[@FishAholicTV]

Hey Fishaholic’s, really sorry for the delay on this post!!! I thought I scheduled it for this morning but it looks like I forgot 😔. Really sorry again if you were looking forward to a video this morning. I still hope you all enjoy and like always Live to fish, fish to live!!!

[@Big_Bend_Benji]

All good man! From experience I know it’s tough to get videos all organized!

[@FishinBud]

Thx Rich....beautiful setting. Sockeye are def on the fishing bucket list for me!

[@fishinwithferg6048]

No need to apologize, this is always great stuff no matter when it comes out! I wish I could pump out content as regular as you do.

[@TheGenkidia]

your doing some serious adventuring now BRO!! LOVING IT!!!

[@FishAholicTV]

Glad to hear you enjoy!! The KZbin algorithm doesn’t like it hahaha but I had an amazing time out there and it was still sooo worth it.

[@scottsluggosrule4670]

Nope couldn't fish that close to 800lb bears....great video..looks like a blast.

[@swimbait1]

Really cool! As a retired biologist I really appreciate how respectful you are to each of the fish. Looks like an amazing trip.

[@audiodeluxe7647]

Love to see the close contact with the bears harmoniously. Trip of a lifetime, congrats Rich!

[@Kgoutdoor]

I was in Homer for ten days last July and we had a blast. Caught so many halibut, ling cod, rockfish and salmon! Took a 5-6 mile hike and came within 6-7ft of a black bear on accident. I have it on video. Once in a lifetime experience. Every fisherman or outdoorsmen must experience Alaska at least once.

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah I agree with your last statement there!! Everyone who loves the outdoors should go. Thanks so much for watching!! I have to go back next for a halibut

[@Kltpzyxm17]

That was no accident. Be careful!

[@JMall0R]

Man the quality of your content had been crazy lately. Congrats!

[@ceecee-thetransplantedgardener]

JUST epic. Beautiful! I don't care when you post - love them all whenever they arrive. Can't wait to see the following episodes for this series.

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much and glad you enjoyed!! Episode 2 Sunday!!

[@thomasmeyers9529]

Incredible stuff! So psyched for you that you get to do this sort of thing on your channel. What an adventure. Glad to be along!!

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much Thomas!! Glad you enjoyed!!! Episode 2 this Sunday!!

[@TheonetheycallQuaid]

What an incredible video. My only wish is that it was longer. I hope to do a father and son trip there in the very near future. Thanks for sharing.

[@FishingWithLou]

I dont know how i'd react with all those bears around lol. Just great fishing and scenery.

[@medburd]

thanks for sharing Rich! Definitely enforces this as a legit bucket list fishery for me!!

[@FishAholicTV]

Glad to hear!!! Thanks for watching!!

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Looks like an unbelievable fishing experience, Rich! Congrats on some sweet fish and some really crazy bear encounters! Sure you'll remember this trip for a long time to come

[@FishAholicTV]

Hey bro! Yeah it was awesome!! So much more content from this trip to come!!

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

@@FishAholicTV Can't wait to see it!

[@DwightPerkins-i7t]

Even though this was a fishing video, that was some of the best bear footage I've ever seen. The interaction between the bears and the fishermen was as good as it gets. The salmon and trout were so plentiful it was ridiculous! The power of those fish is amazing on the fly rod. That was indeed a trip of a lifetime even for us viewers. Thanks for sharing this once in a lifetime video with us😎

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much for your awesome comment!! Episode 2 this Sunday!!

[@AverageFishingGuy]

Man, this might be one of your best adventures yet. Not sure if you have a Patreon, maybe you should set one up for trips like this one in different places around the world. Best of luck, fish on!

[@FishAholicTV]

Glad you thinks so! It definitely was one of the most epic trips I have been on!! Episode 2 goes up on Sunday. I was thinking of creating a Patreon acct.

[@georgericketson7279]

Epic footage! National Geographic stuff!

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah it would not have been possibly without Jon! While we fished he was non stop shooting all that epic broll

[@aidenfyfe4071]

Awesome video, my dream to go up to AK, you said you were there for a week right? Does that mean more of these videos to come?

[@j.mimoso4767]

Not gonna lie, my Sunday coffee was not the same. But it was more than worth the wait. EPIC VIDEO!

[@FishAholicTV]

Awww I’m sorry to hear!! This Sunday episode 2. Have you coffee ready!

[@michaelcanavan754]

Eating a hoagie next to a Grizzley...wow!

[@Canons_Catch]

Steelhead are my favorite to catch on my channel well done 🤘🏽

[@FishAholicTV]

Awesome!! I’ll check out your vids!

[@Canons_Catch]

@@FishAholicTV I appreciate it!

[@Silocky]

The eggs coming out of that salmon from the bears mouth was a 10/10 shot

[@FishAholicTV]

Yeah that was definitely my favorite shot. I might have to get that one printed and hang it up.

[@fred1732]

[@atuuschaaw]

Epic is an understatement! Between the fish and the brown bears, my adrenaline would be spiking! 😉♥

[@FishAholicTV]

Hahaha yeahhh some of it didn’t even feel real I was so amazed!

[@richardjack4827]

Rich as much as I love fishing and am a huge risk taker I will never ever ever be that close to a living bear. Bravo on the Alaska trip now get out there and hang a line bro.

[@davidaltman92]

Great video

20:40 wild man! Nice catch

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed!!

[@Bubba-zu6yr]

Tides and bears… oh my! lol, have done the Kodiak Island privilege a dozen times or so. It has kind of made a man out of this Conch.😉✌️

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha awesome I was looking ag that island on the map the other day. It looks like a great spot!!

[@adventuresinrodbuilding]

Looks like an awesome trip! Dunno about being that close to the bears though. Did any chase fish that you had hooked up?

[@FishAholicTV]

It was awesome!! There were a couple bears at times that rushed towards us when we hooked a salmon. Luckily the salmon popped off when that happened

[@adventuresinrodbuilding]

@@FishAholicTV sounds like an experience. I assume you are working on vids for the rest of the trip?

[@tomreilly9295]

Great video, some epic fishing! What brand of sunglasses are you wearing?

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed! These sunglasses are pelagic glasses. They got the job done.

[@johnrobertson111]

Hey rich, awesome video! What was date of this trip? Would love to catch those sockeye when they change that color. Such a beautiful fish!

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much John!! This was filmed back in Early August. The 2nd until the 9th. Episode 2 goes up Sunday!

[@fishyfishyfreak]

@FishAholicTV Hey Rich! Great Video here. Its been a while since I've gone trout fishing here in NJ and it was nice seeing those Rainbows and Sockeyes. The close up shots of the bears were super cool. I'm planning on getting some waders. How are the ones that you are using? How long have you used them for?

[@FishAholicTV]

Hey thanks so much and I’m glad you enjoyed!! I love the waders I used! No issues so far but it was only the first trial run. But for 5 days straight of fishing they kept me dry and warm. Now I’m curious to see how they hold up in the Montauk surf. I’m going up there for a surf fishing tourney soon.

[@fishyfishyfreak]

@@FishAholicTV Awesome! I can't wait for that!

[@LeonardoAmaducci]

Maravilhoso este vídeo, qualidade de filmagem impecável, há muitos anos não vejo um vídeo tão perfeito ! 👏🏻

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much and I’m really glad you enjoyed!! Episode 2 goes up on Sunday!!

[@ph2738]

How is your boat back in Florida doing?

[@17losttrout]

I reckon you'd get a great take from a bear if you put on a picnic basket pattern. It'd be a good fight on light tackle!

[@FishAholicTV]

Hahahaha ohh for sure drag screaming runs and chasing that catch up and down the river 🤣

[@17losttrout]

@@FishAholicTV Probably better to go barbless and use a trace... Get the guide guy to gaff it for you.

[@bobkirk942]

Bear spray and a Smith and Wesson. 500 is recommended

[@FishAholicTV]

Hahaha yeah the one Guide Jad was packing heat.

[@ph2738]

How are the bugs? Appreciate those windy days, those keep the bugs away.

[@andrewshevchuk2062]

Sick video! I just ordered a hoodie, where do you sell hats? I’d love to get one as well!

[@FishAholicTV]

Thanks so much for watching and ordering! I need to make more hats. Kinda I’m the process of that now.

@@FishAholicTV that would be fun to watch.😂😂

[@Kltpzyxm17]

Are you still barbless? 🐟

[@FishAholicTV]

I don’t think so. I used what ever the guides gave me to catch with.

[@lee8287]

Is this the season finale?

[@FishAholicTV]

Haha nope I fish year round. Episode 2 this Sunday.

[@blueaggie64]

Wets his right hand and grabs fish with his dry left hand. Great film though rich .

[@FishAholicTV]

Ohhh boy, sorry I didn’t show you me wetting my left hand 😂 the clip is edited. I figured someone like you could assume that I wet both hands if I know to wet my hands at all. Also when the fish is sitting in water and I reach into the water to grab it. My hand gets wet 🤙🏻. If it was sitting in a net on dry land that’s one thing. Thanks for watching sorry if you didn’t enjoy this video.

[@blueaggie64]

@FishAholicTV I really enjoyed the video. I'm just busting your chops bud. I don't think I would have been as calm as you with so many grizzlies so close. Have you ever fished for steelhead ? It's just getting started on the erie and Ontario tribs

[@SirPraiseSun]

wow what are these bear shots man how tf did you capture them

[@FishAholicTV]

Those were all because of Jon Whittle he was shooting those bears non-stop.

Didn't even roll up yet

I know this is whining from jealousy but I just wanted to see you catch those first bows with a fly rod!!! I mean trout + salmon = fly fishiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggg!!! trying not to be a fly absolutist but it's hard seeing those rising trout feeding on surface insects.

[@casSthEcrowN]

Rich I’m shocked you wear and endorse frog toggs gear. It’s some of the worst quality outdoor apparel you will find. Only reason it’s popular is because he’s connected with a popular KZbinr who gassed it up. Love the content though brother!

I’d be endorsing and praising them too if it got me an incredible trip like this

Aww I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Frogg Toggs. Sometimes there is malfunctions in gear it happens. So far I’m really happy with everything I’m wearing but I will for sure put it to the test to test it’s limits. Thanks so much for watching!! Episode 2 Sunday. 🤙🏻
