Greg, let me say this ( I am 50+YO man) when I was a kid I always dreamed to one day have a friend that I can seat in a rocking chair and just enjoy the time as he recap the glorious days and experience, that’s exactly what I have in this episode you on the hammock going back 1980’s adventures and move around continents… absolutely amazing you’re a guys full of wisdom and we are blessed that you share with us all that on this thing called “internet/KZbin/social media 😂 God bless you man, God bless your heart. Happy new year buddy.

[@yvfkm]

It was a sand sole. Halibut have way different fins and flounders are more rounded

[@Solidbrass1934]

Hey Greg, the reason those salmon are jumping is because they are trying to loosen the eggs before going up to spawn. And salmon do not usually eat top water Flys or bugs. Mostly small fish. That's why the lures work so well. or a cut plug herring also is great. Awesome video's. Keep it up !

[@rastaralph7154]

The reason the fish jump other than for flies is to see what rapids and shallow parts are up ahead for them to get up the river and spawn. I live really close to a salmon and sea trout river and when people catch them it's just by chance of them going for the lure as it passes past their nose when they are running up the river. You do catch them when they are stuck in pools until the next flood because they are feeding and building their energy up for the next run.❤️💛💚

[@socalrcr]

Another theory I've often heard is that the salmon jump and flop on their bellies to help loosen up the eggs in preparation for spawning but I don't know how true all that is.

[@rastaralph7154]

@@socalrcr ok that's interesting but we will never know! I don't think it will be true or all fish would be doing it. Trout only jump for flies. cheers 👍❤️💛💚

flounder is the most tasty fish you can have if you get a bigger one on the Atlantic east coast, I go to Maryland to catch those off the Delmarva peninsula when they run up the coast, good eating.

[@Johnny_Guitar]

Nope, that was not a Flounder! That Flatfish was a 'Sand Sole' and very common in this area.

[@aleuttrel2260]

@@Johnny_Guitar maybe that's what you call them, the rest of the world calls them flounder and they can be left eyed or right eyed depending on which side it decides to lay on when it's born, because it doesn't start with both eyes on one side, it's 2nd eye migrants to it's top side. Don't argue with someone that does fishing tournaments for this exact fish breed, I know everything there is to know about flounder, I live in New York and drive 10 hrs to Maryland every few years to go fishing just for that fish breed. Oh, and they are common across the entire planet dude, there are pacific flounder Atlantic, European flounder even Asian flounder.

[@Johnny_Guitar]

Correct, and it's full name is 'Sand Sole' and very common in this area.

[@williambenner701]

@@Johnny_Guitar so are they good to eat?

[@Johnny_Guitar]

@@williambenner701 No! Because of high amounts of pollution and industrial waste, flatfish varieties like sole fish are more likely to contain dangerous contaminants that could wreak havoc on health. Studies analyzing biomarkers of contaminant exposure have found that Flatfish 'Sole' fish in some areas may be exposed to high amounts of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons, toxic chemicals associated with damage to the DNA and cancer development. So it's highly advisable to never eat any 'bottom feeding' fish of any sort.

For a one armed person a cordless drill makes it a lot easier to make a bow drill fire just chunk the bow and use the cordless drill No problem I never go camping without a cordless drill and a hand full of screws I believe in using everything we have today for survival Past and present anything that works plastic bags steal wool and batteries learn everything you can. You guys need a cast net for fresh bait. Going camping is the best way to train yourself and learn new tactics it's a great family thing to do get the whole family involved and can be a lot of fun.
