You never seemed awkward. 32,000 subscribers is nothing to sneeze at. I'd say you have been very successful.

I teared up. Hopefully one day I meet you out on the water. Wishing you the very best from Toronto Canada.

Best salmon and steelhead producer of all time your videos taught me a lot throughout the years thank you

Great video, Davis. Congratulations on an awesome KZfaq channel and inspiring/teaching countless anglers. It’s sad to see you go but I completely understand. I wish you the best and see you on the water bud👊

Your video's taught me a lot in michigan and inspired me to get out and try new things. Great job friend.

Such a sad day in youtube history!! Godd luck to you Fray in everything the future has in store for you. I eagerly awaited your new vidios as i feel they are hands down the best of the best. Although i may never be quite the fisherman you are, i have learned some great tips and tricks from you. Thanks for all you've shared and done for the fishing community over the years. Tightlines and stay safe!!

Fray, I just want to thank you for inspiring in me the want to fish again, some 5-6 year ago I discovered your videos, but hadn't fished since I was just a kid. My dad never taught me how to fish with anything other than a bobber and worms, and you were my first exposure to any other way of fishing. I'd just moved over to West Michigan at that point in life, and have spent the past years just getting out there and fishing every chance I could. It has become a lifestyle for me at this point, and I have you to thank for it. Spending time with family and friends in the outdoors is how life should be, there's nothing better. Best of luck on your career and adventures, and don't forget to get out there and fish every chance you get, it's those memories that will be with you forever!

Thanks for your work. Best of luck in your career. I went to school and obtained a diploma as a fish and wildlife tech which culminated in a 40 yearr career in the fisheries and environmental protection field.

Thank you Fray. Happy life.

Thank you for all that you have done i love your videos wish you the best

Thanks for the great work, and information. Best wishes on your future endeavors …

Good luck and take care of yourself and your family

Nice way to end it with some great Bobber Downs and leaping Steelhead 👍👍

Good luck to you.Thanks for your videos. ❤

All the best, Fray. I have enjoyed your videos Good luck in the future.

Good luck to you in your career path! Thank you for all your videos very awesome content….

Thank You for everything you have done with this channel! Been a fan, since the beginning :) Wishing you nothing but the best with your future endeavors....CHEERS!

The spring and fall will never be the same without your videos it always got me goin and made me excited ab the trout and salmon season I hope everything goes well and you continue to smash some great fish and just enjoy life

Sad to see you go man. Great channel, great content. You always did it with a lot of class. See you on the water man.

Thank you for the videos over the past few years! It has been awesome watching and I might be over on the maumee one of these years trying to catch walleye. Hopefully I run into you if I do. Keep fishing fray, it has been great watching you from here in PA.

miss you fray, hope you have a good 2024 salmon season

I give you credit from Ontario Canada tight lines...

Wanted to add my thanks for all the high quality, entertaining, and instructional videos over the years. Thank you for championing ethical, clean fishing. Your videos time and time again debunked what I believed when I started Great Lakes salmon and trout fishing in Southeast WI - that these migratory fish don't bite once they are in the urban rivers. It has been so rewarding to learn from the videos, apply it on the water, and see that bobber drop. I also lived vicariously through your videos quite a bit during busy times at work, so thank you for cranking out the content during peak seasons. Wishing you the best!

Thanks, from one of the guys that watches, but rarely comments. Your videos are well done and quite interesting. I'd be lying if I said, I didn't learn from you... LOL Good luck with your career, I hope you make a difference. I feel our DNR, in Michigan, is broken and in need of repairs. Anyway, thanks again, and good luck!

I enjoyed watching your videos. Enjoy your next adventure

Thanks so much for sharing man, ive learned so much from rig set up, fish handling, conditions, reading water, ect. Wish you the best man and hope to see you on the river

I've always looked forward to your videos. Good luck man

Youre breaking my heart fray 😞 since i was a young boy i would alwas get excited for salmon run and steelhead cohos hopefully i see you on the river one day thank you so much for uploading and trying your best to keep up you truly brought a true smile to my face i pray for the best for yoi fray im not asking just saying maybe keep us updated on Instagram thank you fray we will miss you man see you one day ❤

Last video 😢 thanks for all the great videos and shared knowledge. Tight lines buddy 🎣

Hey thank you for the content! Good luck going forward.

Thank you for all you’ve done for me, helping me learn when I was new at fishing for salmon and steelhead!!! Going to miss the videos! I really hope to see you on the river one day.

You’ve inspired a lot of people, young and old, to take up fishing and do it in an enjoyable way. Doing videos is not easy, I can understand that aspect. I do it for something to look back on when we all get older, re-live the memories. I also understand and agree with you on simply just getting out to fish without preparing and having to record a lot of footage to make a video. I wish you nothing but the best, Fray. Thank you for your great videos and inspiration.

Thank you Fray, and please know that you will be missed. Best wishes for a successful career in your filed of study. I am certain it will all come together for you. Patience and persistence are excellent traits!

Thanks Fray, appreciate all your efforts over the years. Best of luck moving forward.

Fray, wishing you the best ! Hope you make a ton of money! And catch lots of fish! Go to Alaska you will love it there! ✌

I really enjoyed watching all you videos hope you do good in the future.

I've watched your videos and been a subscriber from the very start. You've made a huge impact on me, and my friends and family in Michigan. I have fished your techniques and locations for these past years now, with great success. I even drove around and fished the campus just for fun. You've been educational and entertaining from the start, and obviously have a great heart and a fantastic future. I hope you will still occasionally post up a video now and then, just for old time's sake. Thanks again!

All the reasons you gave for leaving KZfaq I totally respect and get I myself wanted to film more this year and ended stressing more about it then actually fishing and it sucked. When I went out with friends I didn’t film and it brought a lot of fun back into it that was missing in it. I still enjoy filming it though. I’ll probably keep doing so til I feel the same way as you. I wish you nothing but success in the future my guy and enjoy the fishing we are extremely lucky to have the fisheries we do. If you’re ever up my way of WNY look me up, I’ll be glad to take you and fish it up here my guy. Best of luck and thank you so much for the memories my guy!

You will be missed! I really enjoyed watching your videos over the years, you did such a good job showcasing the struggles of the salmon and steelhead angler. For those unique moments! All the best for your next chapter. Cheers Raphi

Bringing it back to where I caught my first steelhead after watching your videos. Thanks for the time spent over the years. You made a great impact. All the best going forward.

Great job Fray. All the vids were well put together. One of my favorites were the cohos chasing marabou streamers. Cheers Bro. Good luck.

Loved your videos. Made me feel like I was out on the water with a true expert. Thanks for teaching everything you have taught us. Wish youtube would have blown you up. You deserve it

Great angler and amazing teacher , even if your not making videos anymore you’ve made to your name. I don’t think a single steelhead angler out there doesn’t know who you are. And we thank you for your countless videos and countless hours and commitment to the fishery.

Thank you for all the knowledge you have shared and for all the work you put in. you will be missed!

Thanks for everything, been watching your videos for years. Finally got out to Michigan for the first time this year from CT.

Good luck in your future endeavors. Enjoyed your channel.

Wow that's a surprise to all I'm sure that you are stepping away! I have been watching your channel for awhile now and I will be sad to see you go. On to the next stage of your life. It's good on ya, good luck!

Watched you for years brother will miss you tremendously hope life treats you well and you can eventually circle back to bless us all much love and tight lines from New Jersey

Best steelhead/salmon KZfaqr out there. Thank You for all the information you've taught all of us!

So sad man. I'm sorry to see you go. Thank you for this amazing video.

I can sense your passion for creating these videos, and I truly believe you I have the potential to achieve great success with them. Sometimes, our goals may not be immediately visible, but your unwavering passion is unmistakable. Best of luck! 👍🏻

Amazing that double fin clipped roamed the big waters for 3-4 years then returned...gotta respect these fish..love ya Fray!

Thank you for taking us along fishing and teaching! Hope to see you out there some time 👍

Thank you Fish Fray for videos! Learned a lot from you. Been in Michigan 13 years and fishing took me on journey. Maybe one I’ll see you on the waters. Congrats on degrees and good luck on career! Nice way to end it. I’m a quiet guy too but I love sharing my fishing knowledge. Salute!

Thank you for capturing all these memories together over the years and introducing me to the sport, see you at the next spawn sac sleepover :)

Thank you, Fray! Good luck with whatever you do in the future.

Great vids.. great of luck in life my guy..

Really appreciate your efforts in explaining and showing that it isn't always WHERE you fish, but more importantly HOW you fish that determines your success as an angler and the way you did it with a great attitude any time you lost fish etc with a great understanding of what the experience is all about. Best of luck to you in all of your future endeavors!

Thanks for your great videos. Living in Germany the past few years, I have been missing Michigan fishing for Steelhead a lot. Through your footage, I could remember my great times. You have done a terrific job with the channel, and I am certain you will succeed in your future endeavors. Thank you so much, and I wish you all the best.

Legend!!

Fray I want to say a huge thank you to you and your videos, you taught me so much about fishing for salmon and steelhead as a beginner, and your videos always make me want to go out and fish, even if my luck has been bad. Best of luck in your future, brother.

Thank you fray for the memories my dad and I would sit down together and watch every video of yours when u uploaded! Hopefully run into you on the water!

Great content, sad to see you go. I'm an old schooler and it was a pleasure living through your experiences with your adventures. It was a pleasure watching you grow as life went on. Get on your grind , the fishing will always be there, trust me. I'll see ya on the streams!

I want to thank you, Fray, for sharing so much knowledge. I am sure you have taught and inspired a lot of fishermen all over the world with your videos. I wish you luck in your new endeavors. I'm sure you will do great because you've got talent, diligence and perseverance! That translates inyo success!

Fray, just want to say thanks for the memories and best of luck as you begin a new chapter! As most things in life, there is always something to learn when it comes to this sport. Very fortunate to say you’ve played a huge role in that aspect which I will always be grateful for. See you on the water my friend.

Thanks for all the videos you've made over the years Fray. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Thank you for everything fray You were one of the core KZfaqrs that inspired me to start my KZfaq channel. You also were the one who got me into streamer fishing and fly fishing in general and for that I thank you so very much. Love you brother and hope you have a great fish filled life

I enjoyed your channel for years. Thanks

Thank you so much for the past few years. I've watched all your videos from the start of my veterinary school to now, as a veterinarian. You have taught me so much and inspired me to fish for these amazing creatures. If not for your videos, I would not have looked forward to moving to Ohio. Being here now, I am truly blessed with these beautiful waterways. Good luck and I hope to meet you in person someday

Thanks for showing me how to get Kings to munch the Arctic Spinner. I'm truly going to miss your videos.

Best of luck moving on seeking that career and joining the workforce. Thanks for all the great tips and quality videos. A pleasure to watch for sure. Peace
