I'm about as unlucky at scoring giveaways as I am catching fish, but I've been enjoying your channel nonetheless!

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

You're the winner! Email me at info @ hugeflyfisherman.com by 1:30pm Mtn time July 6 to claim your fly box.

[@GS-rj4dq]

Luckyyy!! Stay Huge!

[@rtistmedia5636]

@@HugeFlyFisherman No way!! Ah man I'm so thrilled!! I"VE NEVER SCORED SO HUUUUGE. I just reached out via email. Thank you!!

[@CONEHEADDK]

Giveaways are about luck. Catching fish ISN'T. You create your good/bad luck in fishing. Lusck is, when perfect preparement laysahead of a good chance.

[@firewater41]

Love that maniacal laughter in the dark.

[@crazymadd669]

Dude I don't think I've ever heard you so damn excited and having so much fun in all your videos. That's awesome man, glad you enjoyed your time up here.

[@perryalbert6728]

I appreciate a fishing show that actually shows catches. I get so annoyed with so many that post fishing videos to KZbin, that seem to think people want to watch 15 minutes of them reeling in a fish. Your videos are much more entertaining to watch. Thank you.

[@gnb3472]

Loved seeing this on Special TV a few days back. If the rest of you fellas haven't subscribed yet, the video content is is great and a lot more candid. Lets support His Hugeness, whilst being jealous !!

[@charlieboutin3341]

I was 300th thumbs up..and there’s 256 comments! Wow! That’s Huge! (257 now 🙂) Great filmography, beautiful fish! 👍🎣 Loved the shotgunned beer at the end, last time I did that was in High school..45 years ago 😂 I had to quit drinking 5 years ago, but I drank more than most so no problem here. Love watching people having a great time! Thanks for all you do Ben! Have a Huge week!🍻✌️

[@richardbaumfalk7301]

Glad you were up here and caught some of our fish. I lived out in the area you were fishing for 8 years. Flesh flies, mouse pattern are both awesome on these fish.

[@ColoradoFishDr]

I've got to say, the pure joy you expressed with laughing and carrying on with the first fish in the clip was awesome! Please do more trout Spey shows!

[@mattstout856]

Glad you gave Spey fishing another chance! I got into it this past year and I love the whole experience!

[@claudinesturdevant2948]

As a novice fly fisherwoman, I dig your channel. Thanks for your honesty and kindness to us newbies.

[@dustinnedohin3817]

the giggling while having the fish on is what its all about!!! I loved hearing it!

[@henriknordlof9587]

Love the laughter! Describes the feeling so well! 😁

[@etiennebbeukes6009]

I love the laughter and excitement on the first fish of this video 😂 It put a smile on my face. A very Huge video indeed.

[@troyhudson2825]

My god Ben, that laugh is infectious and the pitch goes up the bigger the fish. Hilarious man. Congrats on a wicked trip.

[@lanefaver8899]

Loved these vids! I just got back from Alaska myself and learning to cast the Spey rod was one of the highlights.

[@brandondunbar3897]

Looks like a fun trip! Has been added to my bucket list. Glad to see this trip was better than the last. Stay huge!

[@gabrielvilgalys7974]

"Does your missus want a new fly box?" "I dunno, Alaska."

[@jburker1]

Heading to AK in July...Mousing for big bows...can't wait.

[@ericjudd7188]

Awesome video! Damn you though! Got me with the special tv with the giveaway ha!! Keep up the good work.

[@duanefukumoto3055]

Love the constant laughs while fighting the fish. Can’t say you’re not happy 😃👍

[@Ikner152rams]

Hands down favorite fly fishing channel, thank you for the laughs and entertainment every Monday!

[@gocubbiesgo]

Another great video Ben! Thanks for bringing me along to Alaska.

[@chrisburns5704]

Great time fly fishing. Some huge fish. Looked like a great time. Thanks for sharing it.

[@baconandeggs6883]

Nice video, I read an article about swinging smelt patterns for bows in AK one time, I’ve always wanted to do it since

[@Jay-rd8mj]

Fantastic! How did you like spey casting? I find it super addictive to just get into a rhythm casting and waiting for the tug!

[@KirkRacing57]

Another great video. That’s a bucket list trip for me. Jon boats, fly fishing and boat snacks- it doesn’t get much better.

[@jacobmoss4787]

I watch all you're videos every Monday and I love fly fishing.

[@timsims6634]

Im new to the channel and im catchin up on the videos ... they are hilarious and i love the etiquette videos ... im gettin pumped to get back into flyfishing again ... thanks for the videos Ben

[@jrf5369]

That looked like one good fishing weekend! Awesome thanks for sharing with us

[@waynenaylor5734]

Great fishing and some very nice bows! Alaska looks like an amazing place to fish. The grenades at the end were well earned 🤙

[@williamcrow5961]

Oh, another Monday morning. Driving to work, video comes up. Hit LIKE. Watch and drive north of Boston for a bit so I can get a morning sandwich. Shady pull off with sausage, egg, and cheese on a toasted ‘english’. Cold coffee from yesterday. Looking forward to another commute to work with Ben and friends.

[@slohand42]

Some great fishing! Ijust wish you had shown us some of your Huge spey casting technique!

[@kevinsommer5746]

You're the bestest Ben, love the videos, keep em' coming! Your laugher in the video is contagious . I hope the Yellowstone was a blast!

[@ianmccreary1341]

Hey Ben, love the videos and all the content you produce. Watching this series made me want to go back to Alaska. Oh by the way you missed an f bomb at 15:21, not sure if the youTube will care necessarily but I do know you try to keep it family friendly. Have a good one. (insert dumb fishing goodbye here)

[@robbyrichardsonfranchiseow2294]

That was the best intro! Thanks for the awesome Monday videos!

[@nicholasmortallaro221]

You’re the wind beneath my wings Ben.

[@scarecrowjoe1]

“I’ll think of one. K!” Best dad joke I’ve heard in a while! 😂

[@mrlaheyparsons4657]

Probably my favorite fishing video you posted yet bro. Diggin the swing

[@buddysmith4915]

All this make me want to fly a tie, big "minn-er" like Ben's. I suck at fly fishing (too), but these vids on the tube get me all kinds of excited to give it another hurl. ...or whirl ... whatever man....Love the channel, love the merch, lookin forward to next Monday for another fishy story.... and yeah, I could use a spray rod too...

[@robertwilcken8431]

Those quick bites must of had a little beer sprinkled on the fly. Thirsty fish!!

[@Da_Schmidt]

I would love to go catch some reds on fly next time you’re in southeast Louisiana! Fall- winter is a killer time for it! Stay Huge!

[@conanbaus9252]

Jonesing for a Yellowstone trip after this!

[@johnandpennyrichards9256]

Love the slow mo shots of the tern (and of course the fishing and dialogue)

[@percolates]

Good stuff! Enjoyed a week in AK last week. All grayling. All fun. Yay.

[@stevensummers5008]

Beautiful fish, can't wait for my first Alaska trip this fall! Hopefully with a new orvis spey rod!

[@colehoard1623]

I spend every summer in western Montana and in huge part thanks to you I’ll be throwing my first fly rod in the Blackfoot in about 5 days. Thanks brother keep em coming!

[@justaguy111]

I don’t recall seeing a video on your channel that talks about spey casting or the specialized fly lines you used on this trip. Is a video covering this in the works?

[@edrewshif]

Headed up to Alaska for the first time this year. Your videos have me itching for the trip!

[@jarrettlandreth285]

That laugh says it all! What a fantastic place, I’d be geeking out the whole time! Those bows were gorgeous!

[@mattokeefe691]

Glad you’re getting to do some awesome trips. Thanks for sharing

[@seanmacdonald5518]

Love the Washington across the Delaware stand up on the tiller boat. Epic.

[@jerrystebbins8550]

Your Hugeness!...sticking some big natural rainbows!!!!!

[@ryantancock2690]

Looks so much fun. Thanks for sharing it with us

[@Lakertaker05]

Alaska Bows…as good as big cutties and awesome butter browns😜 welcome to Alaska Benn…fish are “HUGE” here yo👍🏼

[@petergately5794]

Sheer excitement is contagious, that first fish was awesome.

[@meganrecher6373]

Thanks for making fly fishing content fun. I've had a hard time finding content that is relaxing yet informational. You either get just instructional videos, which are fine, or you get people who have no idea what they are doing.

[@iBIiss]

You're only making me want to make the trek to Alaska even more!

[@ducky9116]

hey Ben, thanks so much for all these videos!!!!! Cant wait for the next one and the one after that!!! Everybody needs your stickers!!!! STAY HUGE!!!!!!

[@sabiangriffin3713]

That seems awful dark for 4:30 in Alaska in June. Maybe it was cloudy. AK usually is

[@farmerbob4554]

Those rainbows were awesome! Alaska is a dream location. Thanks for the cool video.

[@zwiggles6908]

The greatest man laugh ever is featured at the intro. Well played sir

[@jackmcjelly8858]

Awesome video! Have always wanted to fish Alaska, my dad always came back with epic stories from the Kenai!

[@sabiangriffin3713]

Quick beer time there. Only about 5 seconds. Anyways, I went up north for some real fishing. Caught some good natives and hooked into what would have been a PB, got off tho

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Alaska is a lot of fun , heading up in August for Silvers . Meanwhile the Madison will have to do :-)

[@travisrolando8205]

Looks like way too much fun!! Stay huge!!

[@stephadams7967]

Just got back from Yellowstone and one of my boxes got water inside. I’m sure a box as Huge as the one your giving away would never do that! 👍🏼😉

[@JohnLauber]

Wow. That's some real excitement. Great trip and a bucket list trip for sure.

[@ericarchey6271]

Glad to see Alaska treated you better this time!!

[@lucastans2571]

Beautiful rainbows! Looks awesome

[@JohnDoe-kx7cb]

We’re you running a mono running line or a floating line?

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

Floater

[@michaelbooth7286]

Love the videos, you should be supporting local breweries, colorado good fishing and beer 🍺

[@raleighleslie2085]

Always stoked for your videos man, thanks for all the intel and laughs!

[@Nichasfun]

"Its gonna poop on you" I love the little cuts with random dialog

[@lindarodriguez5573]

Nice to see that you do catch & release on pebbles too!

[@jesspetro2389]

Another great video! Those fish were "Huge"! 😁

[@matthewfish3306]

This whole trip looked sick. I’d love to make a trip like that some day.

[@jamesleadbeatter3632]

Have you had any experience with fibreglass fly rods if so what is your opinion of them

[@lukebonagurio4503]

Man I think hes got a video talking about different rod material

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

I like them for small stuff

[@russelrogers2540]

Looks like a great trip. Those are some great fish.

[@jimpurvis4420]

Ben are you sure your having fun with that first fish?

[@neilrichards8941]

Looked like an amazing trip, can't wait to get up there someday. Stay HUGE!

[@mikechagnon1109]

Definitely a trip that is on my bucket list awesome video!

[@luket2169]

This channel is the goat fly fishing channel on KZbin

[@mortimercobblepot7884]

I'm guessing the Nak Nek river. Awesome, I used to have a boat there. I was chased down by a brown bear there while flyfishing which freaked me out until I realized that the bear was chasing fish toward me not trying to kill me. I named him as any huge fly fisherman should.

[@mikegraydon9271]

That potassium joke was knarly!!!!

[@Hrogthar]

Those look a lot like those 'steelhead' they catch up in the great lakes... Hmmm...

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

The Steelhead in the Great Lakes came from the Pacific Northwest. We still have them here, albeit in lower numbers then in the past.

[@Hrogthar]

@@4stringmanagmaildcom My joke was that your 'steelhead' are rainbows. And that's okay. Because the fish in this video are rainbows too. A steelhead, by definition, is anadromous. Which means they live in salt water for a period of their life and come back to fresh water. The great lakes are not salt water.

[@warthogfacedbuffoon]

What type of boats are you guys using? They look perfect for what I want

[@lazarovillarreal4618]

If you were to go fishing in the panhandle on the surf, what setup would you bring and what kind of leader setup would you have? I enjoy your video content. 👍🏼🤙🏼

[@johnrouthier4281]

Hi Ben, thanks for the videos, keep up the great job.

[@Fisher_Munro]

I'm real curious about your hook set. Obviously it's run, grab, and fish dependent, but here in the PNW we will usually let a steelhead chew on that fly for a bit before we lift the rod. You're hitting those fish hard as soon as they grab, what's the reasoning there? Was that the advice from the guide? Is it because those are non migratory fish versus steelhead? Although I can't think what difference that would make.

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

It’s mostly because I don’t know what I’m doing, but it’s also because those fish slammed the shit out the fly and hooked themselves.

[@arockets1215]

A trip to Alaska has always been in my mind for king salmon and artic char, also grayling is one I’d like to catch since there aren’t any close to me anymore due to overfishing up in Michigan.

[@JMRacing11]

Looks like you all had a blast!

[@jonnygranville281]

I have always wondered if you have a regular day job or guide full time? Just curious, either way you go to some awesome places and have great, informative video's 👍👍

[@theunprofessionallurker]

Any of those upcoming videos happen to have Chad and Jaden in them?

[@Yetimai50]

I love catching rainbows in Alaska! Just got back a couple weeks ago.

[@johnwpage]

Great videos, common sense advice and just plain entertaining. Great job and keep up the work.

[@tinoyb9294]

Does your wife know you have this much fun on these trips??? Glad to see you using something besides bobber eggs.

[@matheusrodenbusch9458]

Nice fishing, beautiful place as well!!

[@TRONOFTHEDEAD]

05:44 When you can lip a trout to remove the hook; that's a big fish.

[@RadDad1980]

Dig your content. Keep em coming. What wading boots were you wearing?

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

Orvis Pros

[@eljohn3]

Nice, I’ve wanted to try those Fulling Mills boxes for a while now. Badass video, btw.
