You and Sara rocked it. Gorgeous scenery. Nothing like the taste of fish right out of the water. What an experience.

[@StanzFam]

Thanks Dan!

Driving out on the Homer Spit, we see a flatbed truck with a very large halibut, about 8' hanging on a pulley, and caught by a 10 y/o girl. She had the biggest smile

[@StanzFam]

Awesome 👍🏻

[@lewislambert2141]

All your videos are good, but when Clare Bear shows up they turn great, what a sweetheart she is! Epic halibut catch, one to share in the future for sure!!

[@StanzFam]

Thanks Lewis! Appreciate the comment

[@captraykelly]

Great show. Congratulations On that huge Halibut. Alaska has some of the best fishing in the world. Awesome drone footage too.

[@StanzFam]

Thanks Ray!

[@gregoryzakutansky9506]

That scenery was truly spectacular. And what an awesome fishery. Kudos to the governing bodies protecting that resource. Every KZbinr fishing there absolutely kills it and the quality of each fish makes excellent table fare. I'm so jealous but happy for you both. Thanks for sharing.

Happy Birthday 🥳 and Happy Anniversary 💐 Frank !!

[@erikwantuck2831]

You said it Frank and gave the youngins' something to ponder.... I just turned 55. What these kids fail to understand is heath is everything. I was in the best shape of my life at the ripe age of 45. Then all of the sudden the ailments took grip too many to list. Stay grateful.

[@jamesblake7338]

As always, awesome ! Loved the whale in the kelp! Great fish Sara!

[@StanzFam]

Thanks James!

[@customledandfiberopticsinc2756]

Great video! Frank is correct about Alaska, it's not a trip it's an experience. My cousin and I did one about 5 years ago. We stayed 10 days but we rented an RV in Anchorage. There is no better way to see and fish Alaska than an RV because there is no limit to where you can go or stay. It is by far the most scenic and majestic part of this country that is largely untouched.

[@franiannarone8196]

Once again great job Sara 👏, and Frank said it best Alaska is majestic ❤️

[@lorimartin3827]

Another Majestic video from Nick and Sara's Alaskan Vaca. Awesome Stanzfam!

I'm so glad you made it up and a bit North of my old stomping grounds around Vancouver Island!! Some great catches and even got some whales on video!! That stretch up the coast from Prince Rupert up to Ketchikan and out to Craig has some amazing fisheries and even more amazing scenery!! Tell Sara that around Vancouver Island a bunch of us spearfish for Lingcod and some of the different Rockfish, she should look it up and maybe try it next time you guys fly up!!

[@StanzFam]

That would be fun!

I just baked halibut a couple of nights ago. Olive oil or butter. Salt and pepper or a rub. Lots of garlic. Lemon or lime juice. Bake in the oven at 425 about 12/13 minutes. Broil for 1/2 minutes. Add more lime/ lemon. Bobs your uncle. Never over cook halibut. Med. rare is the absolute best. You will thank me later.

@StanzFam: New sub here for you Nick. Guilty for a long time of just watching and not sub'ing, so I've pulled out the finger at last and sub'd. Absolutely loved the vid - Alaska really has some wicked cool scenery - which makes it so much more frustrating for me being a city dweller (Sydney, Australia), 'cause I really don't get to see much of nature, especially in the last 15-20 years (permanent night shift worker - cleaner for a hospital) unless I'm off to catch up with my 2 older bro's and their better halves. Just get to see the same scenery out the train window as I travel north for a little over an hour. Loved all the times you've collab'd with DMFD, and the rest of your mates - always amazing times, and heaps of fun has been had. Sure helps me unwind so much quicker after my night shifts (regardless of how adrenaline-pumped I get when you guys are straining and wrestling the catch). I have one question - around 4:40 - the music you used. I'm curious as to the tune - feels like the best chill-out / relax music I've heard in ages. Regardless - loved the vid - keep up the excellent content, and I look forward to many, many more vids (and possibly more collabs in the future with your mates) in the future. Cheers mate ... all the way from the Big Land DownUnder (Sydney, Australia).
