[@MikeSmith-dq7sv]

Good Day Out. Always refreshing to see the reel side of fishing when the bite is good but not great. Looked fun anyhow. Thanks for the vid.

Hey Sam have you or John ran into deer meat for dinner out in Alaska yet?? He is out there in Alaska doing all kinds of fishing also!! It would definitely be awesome to see you and John meet up with deer meat for dinner and do a video with him also!! Or even meet up with one of the two Alaskan you tubers?? I keep hinting several different videos I’d like to see but have yet to see one come to real life!!! I definitely think that would be awesome though for sure!!! Well awesome video and remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

No we have not! It’d be cool to run into hun

[@j.j.clingman4083]

@@MinnDakOutdoors you should look up his latest video and see what town he is in and see if you might be in the same area!! I think the last little town that he was in started with an N!! I can’t remember the exact name but he went to that town because there was a wedding going on at the other town that he was in!! They do have there big motor home so I’m pretty sure you couldn’t miss them if you ran into them!!!

[@jbabydababy5742]

Lobster or crab would be cool !

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

Ooo that would be Awesome

[@senorfrog1792]

That looks so relaxing, Can you give us some gold panning along one of the rivers there.

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

Oooo might have to give it a try!

[@finsfeathersandbone2823]

I’ve fished where Kenai joins the Russian river fabulous fishing and you can do it in waders give it a try

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

Heck yeah! Might have to

[@tylerrandel9187]

I'd like to see you go backpacking overnight ( on a trail)+ catch clean cook

[@barneyedwards9427]

Hey, what happened to the episode before this? I watched it and the next day it disappeared. But I was saying that you guys are in my home state of Alaska and obviously heard of Nuttynu, maybe you guys should do an episode with him.

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

Would be awesome to meet him!

[@Bow_hunting_Michigan]

I Just started fly fishing

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

Heck yeah!

[@mikegriffin732]

It might be worthwhile to do something on the contributions of ADFG (fish and game). They provide valuable information about fish counts, fishing reports, run forecasts etc. They publish videos on fishing areas, techniques, and even the occasional fly tying demo. They seem to be very helpful on the phone or walk-in. They have a challenging job and deserve to be recognized. Maybe visit the Soldotna office…..they would likely be delighted to visit with you.

Salmon fishing at Anchor Point.

Great video bud

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

Thanks homie

[@madtownangler]

Dang you guys are moving fast through the areas. I don't think I could handle that !!! I caught rainbows in the little rivers going into the Alsek river but did not get any in the main river. I caught a zillion dollies in the East Alsek river though when the tide was high.

[@RideFishHunt]

Awesome! What boat is that? Love that thing!

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

Hahhaa wish I knew the brand of it to tell you

[@castenmartin9023]

Sam when you are fighting a fish don't grab the actual rod just the handle. I recently broke my rod on a 21 inch fish doing that.

[@MinnDakOutdoors]

Hehe thanks for reminding me. I always do that Lmaoo. I broke a fly rod last year doing that

[@johnsalazar245]

I wish I could go fishing with you, I reeled in empty in Port Aransas Texas. I only caught 1 croaker and it was small

@@MinnDakOutdoors but last time I caught 3 sand trout and 5 catfish, that was in Corpus Christi

[@MyWoo19]

Fun hooking into big fish like that however, I am always reluctant to go in a boat all day when I can get more fish than that and bigger in one hole in waders. Slightly discouraged for Alaska tbh.

Damn, yall didn't catch jack shit. Hope hunter didn't charge a full day. 😂

[@rickysimmonds2681]

Hurts watching people cast single hand rods

[@akborealisdevstringerdesig3845]

If the fish are within 15 feet of the boat, it hurts to think of fishing a spey rod.

[@rickysimmonds2681]

The guy with the boat is trash at casting and mending yet he’s trying to teach you to be trash.

[@ozzyoregon9257]

Anyone can be a "guide" in Alaska..

[@akborealisdevstringerdesig3845]

True that. However to consistently get your clients into 30"+ rainbows, 60lb+ kings, 20lb+ silvers or reds(sockeye) on every other cast you gotta know your shit. These fish which are caught it one spot will not be there the next day. I'd say 5% of the guides are true whisperers.20% of them are gurus, 25% are capable and the remaining 50% will not be there the following year.
