Great Alaskan adventure. My dad (God rest his soul) would fly fish up in Alaska and the great NW. Thank you for the vlog. Happy Mother's Day to your mom and to all of the moms out there.

Matt: BONK BONK BONK Fish: 👁👄 👁

man theres no better way than to have your first steelheading experiance with some real good friends in a sacred place! thankyou for sharing matts! keep slayin bro!

I love that cabin!!! I flew out when I worked for one of the airlines to hunt deer. What an amazing cabin, I won’t leak the deets. I thought it looked familiar when I saw it in the first video. We got dropped off on the lake. We caught some very nice trout and I also hooked into a late run silver salmon in November. I’ll end up going back, be sure to write in the log!

Thank you for doing our Alaska justice! Really enjoy them catch and cook vids. If you ever need a Local Alaskan to show you around for more places to check out, fishing and otherwise, let us know!

I like how this guy goes though serious surgeries and has no drama no complaining no bs, f it Imma subscribe

These videos are so comforting to me. Such a blessing to have this shared with us! ❤️🔥

I was imagining how good that pan fried trout must have tasted, yum. Don’t give up on the fly rod Matt. Cheers from the North Shore of Superior. 🇨🇦

You've inspired alot of Fishermen to start their own Channel . Bless Man

fly casting catches are very special to me. I’ve learned from a pal who’s been obsessed for +30 years. he’s advised that you have to be patient & put in the time…like everything else, building hours leads to successes that come more frequent. it’ll happen for Matts this trip & when it does, we’ll sure as hell see it light him up.

Matts, there's no such thing as failing when you're in Alaska man!! Those views make you a WINNER the whole time. Thank you for sharing.

Such a beautiful place. Thank you for taking us along with you on your adventure.

Fly fishing is a totally different discipline. An advanced level of Zen. 🎣🐟 yin ☯️

So awesome!! Trip of a lifetime! Thanks for another great video!

Get it Matt!!! I put this on the big screen and had my rod in my hand pretending I was out in nature too haha!! Fish on!!!

I love your channel. All of your traveling and experiences…gives me new goals, hopes and dreams.

Love your fishing, camping and cooking videos for trout. That river looks much like Scotland!

Sorry for the prior remark about filming your whole Alaska trip. This is total poetry in motion. I love it. I have never used a fly rod and only use one lure for trout. On another thought. There are only a couple wild animals that go after deer, so be watchful and take care. Thanks for continuing your trip on video.

So relaxing to watch. Loved your view when u woke up. Beautiful

Your the best youtube fisherman ever #fishermanslife4lever! I love you dude!!! Prayers you are safe bud. Soo were goin crabbin today :)))

Love your videos man, so adventurous and peaceful at the same time

Love how you spliced in your twin brother transitioning in from the right in to the scene. Nice creative editing. 👍 So cool

Many, many things I love of your show but just came to say that transition from the trout cleaning and the oil frying sound that went on prior to the pan shot. Honing yo skills every bit along the way. Thank you man, superb content.

Going through a rough time. Ur videos are a cure for it

Love your vids man watching now and enjoying my Sunday 🔥

As someone who recently put out their first catch and cook video I can't believe the effort this man puts in its incredible!

Your trout fishing adventures are always a blast to follow trout fishing season just started over here! Caught some wild brook trout right in the middle of the city in my last video/ adventure gotta love it only thing better would be if more kids my age would fish!!!!

Tough to beat..a piece of skin AND a piece of tail on the river!Awesome place

Such a soothing and calming video Too bad such environments are practically inexistent near me.. greetings from Jakarta, ID

Matts just received some of your beautiful merch, thank you so much! Went out surf fishing yesterday and caught some nice fish here in Ventura CA. Got your ball bearing swivels and had a lot of success with the 40g jigs. Thanks again bro

Pure awesome. What a place to fish 🎣

FOR SURE I'm booking a trip this summer. I really appreciate the tips to catch the Big ones

Steelhead and Trout LOVE pink and black. My PB Rainbow was caught on a Black Wooly Bugger with Pink Worm.

The deer was like “ oh sh1t! Sasquatch is after me, I better hang out with fishermens life”

All that way for trout! 😂 We could have done that here in the bay area! hella beautiful there tho! looking forward to the next one! 😊

You are in an absolute slice of heaven there buddy 💖

I love SE Alaska, been to Salmon Bay, Patching, Twin, and Heckman lakes. Always awesome adventures.

I love the bonk bonk oops 😂😂😂😂 he gave him the glen treatment from walking dead lmaoooo

was waiting for catch n cook impatiently thank you man

Thanks for the tutorial and tips on fly fishing great video

Yes I’ve been so excited for this!

Have never fished in my entire 23 years of life and these videos relax me 😂

crispy fins are the best, that's the chef's delight right there

this series is great

The scenery 😍

Hey matt i love ur video nice fishing and beautiful place so wonderful❤like🤗👍👍👍✌💪🎣❤❤

Correct me if I’m wrong but a steelhead is a sea run rainbow

Me and the blackened seasoning have a love and love relationship 🤣

i like those bobbers. makes it so easy to adjust the depth

Man that trout looked tasty.

"boink, boink, oops" I freakin' died lmao

I agree trout skin fried up crispy is awesome

I like how the fish eye pops out and your like oops XD

When fly fishing for steelhead, you want to cast down stream at about a 45 degree angle to the opposite bank. This will allow for a more optimal swing, allowing the fly to swing in the deep water as well. You would be super surprised where they are as I’ve caught them in water as shallow as 6 inches and as deep as 10-15 feet. Pink, purple, and blue are super hot colors for steelhead. Check out some intruder style flies, as they like to attack their prey from the rear. The dirty hoh, Senyo AI, hobo Spey, and intruders worked well last time I was in Alaska.

Awesome video! Have yet to catch my first Steelhead.

14 seconds in and this video already looks amazing. I wish I was there.

He deserves a Steven Rinella collab

New Fishermans life vid during lunch break. Its gon be a gud day

Idk why u don’t do much catch n cooks, that’s the best content you do, thats what we like, and it gets you the most views$

My fav youtube channel. ❤ ya bro!!!

that trout looked so good thanks for the video

Hey man just found your channel. All the strength to you in this world! I a ctually never saw you in the recommendations, which makes me think my videos will never ever show up on any1 screen with just 145 subs. Oh well. KZfaq is a grind right? Anyway greetings from northern Germany. :)

Great video hombre!!!

nice place fly fishing is difficult good trout enjoyed thanks

Thanks for the catch and cook

God really takes his time creating Alaska. This place is magical .

7:50 Same vibe as the jacksmelt in the crab snare lmao

Man I love your videos

Was your butter fish fry famous? i think it's 6-7 years past, as I can remember, I was young buy that that, I had amazing memories with your videos, lot of adventure, i think now i already got old , i watch every video of you, happy to see you again, that was some good memories with your adventurous videos,.

Man I have been waiting for Matt’s to go for steelhead.

I love this guy's voice

11:45 -Man I could just taste that skin. Awesome fish ...Steelhead. They used to run in Walnut Creek (and all SF Bay Area streams) too bad I only saw them run a couple years before the Army Corp of Engineers changed EVERY NATURAL CREEK into a sterile CANAL

Hang in there with the fly fishing 🎣!

yay a catch and cook :D

awesome video

Beautiful nature^^

These videos are fantastic . Beacuse it's in Alaska great scenery and s great cabin . Let's see longer videos of both 1st day in Alaska and that 2nd day . These are just to short.

Man, I'm jealous!🏞

beautiful place

This makes me want to go out and buy an Alaskan Pollock fish and chips.

what a beautiful place

you are living the life!

Looking at the Alaskan Department of Fish and Game web site for Southeast Alaska, Ketchikan Management Area, WOW, the rules and regulations are amazingly complex. Anyway, great video and it's good to see you way out in the wild like that having a good time.

Yo I’m a guide up here in Alaska. Love that spot. But you don’t need 8lb. You can run a lot heavier. Plus you don’t need to play em so much. And swing the bead after the dead drift. Trust me it works. N thanks for not talking about the spots name.

Like these old videos mate

14:30 I thought I was tripping for a second lol

"Bonk Bonk Bonk" ""Oh oops" **Eye pops out**

Come fish the Upper Peninsula OG Michigan great streams and rivers especially to the north you’ll get some nice trout and salmon here even if you fish Lake Superior

3:45 - Should've expected TJ to hook up first thing XD

I bet you guys were making some bears drool when you fried up that trout😄

I use that Is that a ran's blackening seasoning on all my fish even bluefin tuna .I make shimp with butter and garlic sooo good

Me @min 14:30 Is that another Matt ? Lmao Was trippen for sec lol

bro when the eye popped out o_O hahaha

Hey people! I just recently started KZfaq and uploaded my first few videos, more to come. If you like outdoors, fishing and camping videos, you might wanna give it a try. Thank you so much and have good one!

You need to hit them when they cone into the river in the fall after the salmon. More likely to take a fly and when hook one the silver lightning bolts are out of the water more than they are in.

Trout skin crisps 🤤

Aloha, I’ve stayed at a few of the cabins.mcdonald, orchid,and reflection. Great deal and different fishing, just a bitch getting to. Either hike in, boat/hike in, or float plane. The beauty of it is, your the only one there!

Damn that’s a nice spot to stay at !

Sunday AM release?! Ok lets go!

I like the high fov camera
