[@tonyhills7153]

A great video and beautiful scenery. and the fish I wish I could catch a fish half as big as those. Look forward to your next video.

[@SCBMD2020]

Not only is this the best video you guys have posted it is THE BEST Alaska video I've seen bar none !!

[@gonewiththewynns]

[@darrenedger4552]

This is by far one of your greatest videos you guys have ever posted!!

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Darren Boggs Thanks so much

[@ctrlaltdreamers7776]

Looks like a blast! Can't wait to get our rig to Alaska! Enjoy guys!!!

[@kylemorris4992]

You guys are living the life! Keep the great videos coming! We love it

[@WanderSmiths]

Great video as usual guys. The chaos of the halibut catching part was fantastic.

[@TheWanderingWife]

I got a lump in my throat watching those whales. Reminded me of how teary-eyed I got when we saw the humpback migration in Australia a few years ago. Great footage!

[@gonewiththewynns]

Thanks!

[@Billodnh]

That's it. That's my all time favorite video from you guys. I'm positively green with envy but thrilled that I got to vicariously tag along. Congratulations on hitting that one out of the park.

[@Allikattoo]

Looked like great fun, glad you and your family are getting to do this together.

[@stahchild]

This is so beautiful. The view is amazing. Alaska was never a place I wanted to visit but after watching your videos, I definitely do now.

[@MrDannyVeal]

Thank you for posting. What a wonderful experience and I am so grateful you bring us with you!

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Danny Veal Thanks! We surely enjoyed it.

[@rumblestriprambings454]

What a great video. I gasped when the whale breached. Beautiful.

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Rumble Strip Rambings Thanks, so did we :)

[@macknine4461]

Thanks for the excursion and makes me want to get up to AK sooner not later. Be safe and enjoy the journey.

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Mack Nine Thanks for joining us!

[@seabee460]

So how did you like that ice blue water?? I grew up in the Prince William sound, we were on the boat during all of our free time! I miss it, so thank you so much for sharing this with all of us!

[@gonewiththewynns]

+wad willco It's so beautiful up there!

[@tims_retirement_lifebernic5375]

WOW is all I can say I am a disabled vet cant travel that much no more thank you so much for bringing me with great video.

[@helloman1976]

+Tim the NOT Nomatic Couch Potato Fanatic Thank you for your service.

[@dawnfrye4539]

I love watching you guys. Such fun people, you make everything seem so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.

[@DaebakMonkey]

If you guys ever come up to Port Townsend, WA in Curiosity or just in general I could take you out to explore the sound.

[@gonewiththewynns]

That would be great!

[@BlueStarArmyMom]

Absolutely fun and stunning video!!

[@chrismd00]

You guys got really lucky! Such beautiful creatures!

[@bryantford3054]

Great video. You all had a great time. Brings back fond memories of my life in Alaska. Sorry about your drone, Ben. We would use the glacier ice in our ice chests. The ice is extremely dense-packed down by thousands of tons of pressure over many years. It melts so much slower than convenience store ice. We had a mini iceberg in the ice chest for over a month once. (Of course summer temps rarely hit 70 in Juneau.) Those halibut were a perfect size. I think they call em "chicken halibut" at that age. The big ones are tough & can actually hurt you with their tails. Some fishermen shoot them before getting the large halibut in the boat. There's no place like Alaska.

[@dst6619]

sure looked like fun. fresh halibut, yum!😉

[@ScarlettO323]

wah this makes me uber homesick for Alaska and my Dad Captain Morgan ... his type of day right there XO

[@ChiTownRaider75]

Outstanding......yes, that is no doubt the perfect, "Trifecta." I need to stop watching your videos/vlogs.... ;) We can't start our thing til mid 2017 but watching your vids gives us an anxiety or urgency to do it now. As always, keep being you.

[@gonewiththewynns]

+ChiTownRaider75 Keep watching and you'll end up in an RV way sooner :) HAHA

[@PavelAdventurer]

Hi guys. Great adventures! Thanks for the travel inspiration. Pavel dude :)

[@RusticByNature]

Cool Video. Thanks for sharing.

[@Ungovernable74]

Looks beautiful.

[@vertigobridge3024]

I like that the number of the episode (on video) has a zero prefix, like you guys might get up to 100 someday. :-)

[@jerrycoon4504]

Very cool! You guys do a great job on your videos. They are always fun to watch. It's really cool that you can do all those things and still make a living at the same time. Most people spend most of their time at work and some on vacation. Seems you guys spend most on vacation and some at work! LOL! I'm a little envious!

[@allenheaps2084]

You have my kind of luck when it comes to fishing... everyone catches but me lol. You guys are living the life, enjoy!

[@timrover]

That was a great excursion and as always Good Job, now who is going to help the captain replace the DJI Phantom?

[@lawrenceconstantine7735]

its great that family could be with you on part of this trip great memories

[@bartwesp4303]

The videos live on! Great video, and the scenery is really calling me to visit! Perhaps YOUR next visit is by boat!

[@Running_To_Something]

Wow. Looks like you had a great day. The whale must have been really impressive!

[@victorgomes7585]

Wow! Sorry about the drone! :-(. Another fantastic video in every way. Thanks for sharing guys.

[@BackroadsVanner]

Wow, thanks for sharing such a well put together video. LOVED the Orca footage. You caught enough fish for a feast - we're on our way! ;)- Losing the drone and camera is going to give us nightmares! Need a floaty on that thing (well the next one). Did you get to see any glacier calving?

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Backroads Vanner We are still enjoying the fish and its super yummy! We did hear lots of cracks, pops and squeaks but didn't see any calving on that day. We did see some at other glaciers on other days though. So incredible! -nikki

[@steveo1kinevo]

What a fun day! Cool video, ...and Lauren is cute! Tell her I said hi. :)

[@0HARE]

What a day, 3 for 3! Way to go! Happy Trails

[@Mdydaf55]

Great video! Gotta make it to Alaska

[@robertanderson2285]

Great video, guys! I want to go there soooo bad! And by the way, your mom looks great! ;)

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

Beautiful video. Where's the glacier walking segment? Perhaps the boat's hull wouldn't like it too much.

[@TrainsfanAlex6060]

Do you guys use all the fish for food? Great video!

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Alex McDougall yep, we eat it all, but we split for the entire boat.

[@flyfliker]

Another great video!

[@montiraruba2831]

Hey, that's where Chris and G lives!! But they are on the RV road again heading south.

[@JJGriswold]

I have a 3DR IRIS+ Drone with gimbal and Gopro Hero 3+ and my son Has the DJI Phantom. I have to say, I don't like the return to home feature of the Phantom. The IRIS+ has a great RTH features. If it looses contact with controller, RTH, if it flys past a pre specified distance -automatic RTH, if batteries drop below specified levels - Automatic RTH. Also has a RTH switch, flip it and it climbs to a pre specified height and RTH. Plus it is cheaper. Paid total of $1300 for mine including gimbal and gopro. Just a recommendation.

[@draxxes1]

I would love to go fishing with both of you, specially Nikki! The best trips are always with best people more than it is the location or destination. You guys have the same energy i have and the people I associate myself with. I am actually going soon ( in a month) to Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Philippines to go island hoping. Would traveling to Asia be in your plans anytime soon?

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Ro Cayas I am always up for another fishing buddy. :) That sounds like an awesome trip! We hope to make it to all of those one day...just not on our immediate plans...but on the plans! - Nikki

[@oneoleqt]

great adventure . love Alaska

[@srinman]

This was the best video , Thanks!

[@CITAP1]

Nice fishing. Sorry about the drone. Good vid.

[@RVFreeDa]

Around $2,000 poor Ben. Is he still alive? That was a fantastic video! Thanks so much!

[@pontiacdan45]

Great video.

[@theblindrider6033]

super video looks like a lot of fun

[@wwe3coins]

That's heartbreaking when you lose your drone! Other than that this video was awesome I love Alaska!!!!!

[@japnjim9684]

Wow, that are very small Halibut. Still great eating. A big one, 40plus pounds is a fight. In 1972 we had one that was 80lbs. and it almost tore the transom out of our boat before we shot it.

[@rolindowndriver]

awesome video!!!

[@joannahennessy3477]

looks like so much fun!

[@danielguerra8981]

What charter company was that?

[@SteveSnow44]

Are you still up in Alaska now?

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Debbie Snowden We're in the CA redwoods. you can always find our location at the bottom of any of our website pages www.gonewiththewynns.com

[@JohnDavis-jw2zl]

awesome, I want to go to Alaska! !!!!

[@derrickfelix503]

Nice video Wynns. Nice to anyone can be a plonker at any time ? Cheers

[@montiraruba2831]

Oooooooooo...flying a drone over any water makes me cringe!!! Then this happens. Well, I will never fly a drone over any body of water unless I put light weight floats on it just in case it goes down. Sorry to see your drone go down in the water, Captain. Hopefully you can recover the cost by having more visitors go on your fishing trips. I would love to go sometimes.

[@urofseron]

These trips aren’t cheap. He’s fine.

[@lewtoncole]

Awesome!

[@cincycunningham]

do you hope to take curiosity up there?

[@Roma-N]

Классная рыбалка!

[@levidaisyyoung220]

VLOS... visual line of sight... never let it go out of your sight.. its a rule you could say 🤷‍♀ expensive mistake.... I dont like fishing, but im happy to read a book while you fish... (the smell ewwww) that whale is so stunning.. what an amazing trip already and to have your family there too was memories for a lifetime..

[@tsav2148]

Bravo!

[@calibirdz]

I feel like that is too much fish caught although i'm guessing there's plenty to go around in that area?

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Jay 1 the limit is 2 halibut per person per day

[@ernestoquintero747]

Whale's breaching must be awesome in real life.

[@StimRacingTrailerandTravels]

Yay for the Vegan! Good sport

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Stim Racing Trailer and Travels Right! She is such an open-minded trooper!

[@jhn4399]

Losing the drone was making me cringe.

[@hughjasse4047]

RIP drone

[@johnpuccetti9383]

Beautiful I am very glad to see no oil spills at that location YET. Best thing that could happen to a drone! California is leading the way with legislation to make drone pilots accountable for any and all their actions.

[@caveredecorator5310]

was that one of those 300 dollar drones that went in the drink?

[@im2crafty]

$.. for the day ?

[@gonewiththewynns]

+im2crafty Our friends took us out and we paid for the fuel. We do provide more info in the article on our site: www.gonewiththewynns.com/seward-alaska-fishing-glaciers-whales

[@lawrenceconstantine7735]

looks like me in the pool

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Lawrence Constantine hahaha. Nice.

[@26181982]

More often videos

[@sanshinron]

The lesson is "Don't buy crappy drones".

[@ae4xo]

too bad he didn't have a float on the drone

[@vickiemears1363]

isn't our home a wonderful place

[@gonewiththewynns]

+vickie mears 100% beauty!

[@juliehoffman92]

😁😄😃🤠

[@cdnsk12]

Don't fly a drone over water unless you want to loose it. The drones can't sense the water level very well.

[@benshafer3124]

hey its his and hers lol,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@alexandersmurr-ferrer7713]

I wanna go so bad

[@phoztech]

ouch... losing a drone just set them back several trips with tourists on a boat.

[@urofseron]

More videos with your sister in them....

[@jeffmartindale6963]

Oh yes sorry bout your drone that sucks ...

[@davidlomeli3578]

Poor vegan lady had to witness the massacre of those fish.

[@hootdawson]

first

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

Beautiful video. Where's the glacier walking segment? Perhaps the boat's hull wouldn't like it too much.

[@gonewiththewynns]

+aguyandhiscomputer haha, yep probably not too good to bring the boat to the face of the glacier :)
