Stranded on the Copper River/ 2022 Dipnetting

[@RichardThebault19711977]

I’ve caught up on the videos I really needed the virtual trip to Alaska. Thank y’all for taking the effort and time out of your lives and schedules to share what you live

[@ericturnquist3183]

I always enjoy the kind of person that drives recklessly, gets stuck, then rolls the camera while the passengers do the digging

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Life happens 🤷 What you don’t see is that all three of us had to push the boat out together. If we didn’t worry about the camera then you wouldn’t have the opportunity to make stupid comments like this.😂

[@kristit-h50]

Thanks for sharing!!! Like how REAL they are.

[@bigal7125]

I love to see y'all "making groceries" Alaskan style. Keep living the dream!

[@2007KB]

That is a scary river! So happy u got your boat unstuck! Hard work dip netting! Glad u caught some salmon! That king was so big!

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Yes it was delicious too 😁🤤

[@65BAJA]

Interesting watching your channel and Simple Living Alaska. Seeing you all go to the same places. Different perspectives.

[@akindofmagick]

These are your best videos ~ plenty of B roll, acceleration thru the repetitive bits, a bit of info about the local conditions, environment, wildlife, etc. Your camera and story-telling skills are improving: thanks for letting us live vicariously through your adventures!!

[@jim6390]

Good morning from Ontario Canada great video

[@bobstewart4342]

Hello from the Philippines looks like fun

[@deborahcopeland4922]

I’m about to go on my first cruise ever in a couple of months and y’all are scaring the crap out of me with these boat adventures 😂😂

[@ninaarmstrong7744]

Great video and definitely looked like a lot of work and exhausting…well done guys!

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Thank you. It seems like more and more work every year.😊

[@colleenkelley2110]

Awesome scenery and fishing!! You guys did such a great job. Keep 'em coming!

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed.

[@georgemurphy9910]

I bet you miss that little zodiac with jet the big ones are nice but when you get stuck you’re stuck Enjoy your trip you’ll have fun🎉🎉

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

You got that right!

[@estheramador7265]

Love the king 🤴 🐟😋

[@kay.hthrkc9302]

I just found your channel…I’m always looking for people making a home in Alaska. I enjoy both of you and your humor, smiles and adventures. Also enjoy the good, the bad, and most of all the Reality! I hope you continue to show more hands on reality of the day to day survival videos, because that is what life is about! Love the landscape of Alaska and if I were younger I would do what you are doing! So living vicariously through people like you and your family is the content we enjoy 😊

Dipnetting?? Never heard of that, awesome!

Good morning from NY.

Enjoyed the Adventure, where can we purchase the dip nets?

[@fifesters]

Good times

[@followerofjesus1114]

G’day. We look forward to your videos every time we see them pop up! Love the way they are put together! Great job!👏👏👏👏

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Thank you 😊

[@jimpinder6385]

Great adventure!

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

It really was.😊

[@MyAlaska12]

Glad to see you went to the "supermarket" and brought home lot's of fish. Some day I'll make it dip netting. I agree about some KZbin channels, can be months behind but I guess they are living their lives also. Thanks for sharing.

[@charlesmatteson888]

not bad place to be stranded cooper river salmon is the best in the world Alaska is so beautiful

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Totally agree😁

[@heiditaylor5896]

What a fun trip!

Nice fish guys !! .Take care and God bless 🙏💚👍🇬🇧......Simon

Loved the vid , you guy's rock .

[@RusticByNature]

Nice job. I have not been to the copper river yet, someday.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Thank you! It’s such a beautiful place 😊

[@noahsizemore1275]

Love your videos I'm going to sell everything here in Virginia Suffolk. All my livestock, hay equipment, and 3.5 acres with the house that I payed 45000 for it appraises for 225000 now after fixing. So I'll have a bunch of coins to use to buy a nice piece of land up there . I'm coming just a few more years. But I'm coming fishing 🎣 next summer. My dream trip. So your videos is how I'm living it right now. Thanks love the channel

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Glad you can enjoy a little bit of alaska through our videos. Hope you can move sooner then later.😊

[@tytraulich4987]

You ain’t gonna find anything for 200k. Alaska is the next whitefish or Aspen. 10s millionaires 2nd or 3rd homes. That’s it.

[@lakotakrueger5354]

Love you guys see you on the next one thank you for taking me along

[@lakotakrueger5354]

And happy Father’s Day

Thank you!

Thankyou guys , well done

We also drove across the old railroad bridge to McCarthy “SCARY” oh yeah man very……no rails at in snow, do it now hahahaha OH NOOOO…. Young & very stupid you know bro invincible….. but had a great time and super great memories……. Now at 71…..1959 at 5 yrs…..

[@kristingrounds4163]

Thats a real pretty area!! Great job on the King Von!!!

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Thank you Kristin 😁 We had a pretty big piece of it for dinner the next night 🤤 it was really really yummy!! Fresh on the grill.

[@kristingrounds4163]

@@wildwoodoffgridalaska Where is that video!!! Yum!!!

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

Yes Von doesn’t have the balls😂 Man glad you guys got free of that bar. Main reason we didn’t buy a place up Taku. Sorry the boat trip was a flop. Nice king Von👍and keep them seagulls away from them fish. Im looking forward to hitting sweetheart creek next month. You and me both. I got todays video uploaded around 10pm last night. Alaska, always an adventure. Hope you two have a great week.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

😂😂That was probably the most stuck I’ve ever been on a jet boat. At least we got off and the boat didn’t really take any damage. We’ll be down in Wrangell in a week so turn on the nice weather for us in SE.😁

[@AnAlaskaHomestead]

@@wildwoodoffgridalaska ha bring some rain down with you. Wish you guys could swing up on your way back. We’d love to meet Von. I picked my bear up from Jeff last week. It looks really good.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

We’d have loved to stop but Alaska airlines is greedy and wouldn’t let us do a delayed layover, even though we’re flying through Juneau. They wanted us to pay for an extra leg. It’s just too expensive.

[@mikec7160]

I love the fishing videos

[@RayFMak]

Awesome video… thanks for sharing ✌🏻

[@BLAM777]

Good morning guys. Beautiful fish and they taste pretty good too. 👍

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Yes they do!😊

[@briankeithfisher7305]

So cool how you clean up along the river before going home. I've seen some folks wait to do that back home and seems to be a lot more work afterwards. Anyway, brilliant video - look forward to more. Thanks for sharing:)

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Thank you.

[@AlaskanDad1822]

Just when down on the 2nd of July. First time too. The counts were a little low for the day but in 5 hours I managed to get 28. Too bad I couldnt limit out for the family, but I might be headed back down. Keep up with the killer videos!

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Glad to hear you pulled some fish for the family.😁

[@cynshane]

I loved it!

[@clipsfromcherie]

Hard but so worth it.

[@guybever8935]

Enjoyed the video. Are you going to smoke all the fish, or do you can some also?

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

We filleted them all and will smoke and can some but most we keep just frozen for grilling.

[@akowned1]

Double check your regs for below the bridge. Thats the personal use area.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Federal subsistence allows us to fish above and below the bridge with no closed days during the season.

[@brendalea1606]

That is a little extreme for me! I am going halibut fishing again this summer

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

We miss our yearly halibut. It is a little extreme but we do what we need to do for our fish.😊

[@rackman5111]

Great video guy's and nice boat and plow truck 👍 and when you get a big one just lay down 🤣 that was to funny. I have a question how come the salmon are coming in the river now is to spawn is ocean salmon different because here in Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 Trout and Salmon spawn in the fall 🤔

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Different salmon spawn at different times. General king salmon are first starting in May. Then red salmon in June and silvers in July. Pink salmon and chum salmon are mixed in there also.

[@33736]

How do you manage diesel in the cold temps? Additive each time you fill up?

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

We’ve never had a problem with diesel even down to -50. If we have a problem, we’ll add Diesel 911 additive.

[@brendalea1606]

Have you ever fished for halibut out of Valdez? I have not but I think we would like to try. Just do not know who to go with. Our ppl out of Seward take us out 3 hours from port but we get large halibut.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

I’ve fished out of Valdez many yrs ago and back then everyone went out to seal rocks out in the gulf. I didn’t feel it was worth the long trip out and back to catch 2 halibut.

[@royhubbard6579]

You don’t have tilt and trim on your boat?

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Yes

[@damienbell3155]

Dam I can’t believe u didn’t ruin the prop. My buddy did that coming up wrong side by eagle rock Kenai river. We floated downstream 300 yards then got a tow back to eagle rock lol. Ruined the engine

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

I’m running a jet not a prop. Would have destroyed a prop for sure.

[@damienbell3155]

@@wildwoodoffgridalaska thank god cause I was dumbfounded. Lol glad you mad it out of there bud

[@rkorsberg]

don't you have a depth finder on that boat?

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Nope

[@jagercowmaster]

Amazing another sub here i wish i can catch a salmon

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Welcome to the channel.😊

[@jagercowmaster]

You guys are amazing and amazing adventure

[@bradlimer425]

King on! Great catch. Love how you post the good and bad situations. More like real life that way. How long will those 54 fish last in your food supply?

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

For just the two of us it will last all year. We try to eat fish at least twice a week and each fish with give about 4 meals. Hopefully this year we can catch some burbot to supplement our fish stock.

[@bradlimer425]

@@wildwoodoffgridalaska, wow! Definitely puts the trial and tribulations of the boating trip into perspective. 2 meals a week for a year from an exhausting 2-3 day trip. That is so awesome. That would cost me over $4,000 at the store.

[@up4chron]

Just came back from there. Only caught 1 red after spending most of Saturday out close to Haley Creek. Thanks for showing your spot :) I’ll be going back this week. Did you use any rope to get down?

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

There are ropes already attached. Good luck, it should be some good fishing for you.

[@ArcherBowman]

What's the benefit of driving the boat so fast in unknown depth? Stay safe out there.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Jet boats need to be on a plane to run shallow, which requires speed. Going down river you need to exceed the speed or the water to maintain steering control. Down river is what I consider the most dangerous part of jet boating.

[@greghertzberg6220]

Typical adventure in alaska. You know how its ”gonna” come out but rarely lands that way and can go sideways so easily.

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

Yep, I always make plans to have AK change them for me through circumstance.😊

[@tylonnplatinumthe3rd659]

They actually let you keep a king ? I thought they haven’t allowed that in years

[@wildwoodoffgridalaska]

We get 10 kings per year.
