Hi Rob. From a guy that loves light tackle fishing, I am so happy you proved the doubter wrong with that halibut!! Half the time it's not the weight of the tackle, but the skill and patience of the fisherman. We all know that you have those skills in abundance! Nice one sir and thanks for the uploads. Love to the family x

Rob just proving people wrong one person at a time. That arrogant “captain” will definitely regret everything once he sees this video. Love it!💯🇬🇺keep moving forward

Captain who called out rob didn’t know who rob really is. He learned today! Straight halibut slayer with the trout rod.

For the life of me, I will NEVER understand why some criticize others about how things are done…especially fishing of all things!! When we were kids, we were poor but boy did we love fishing. So we’d scour the banks for line, weights or hooks. We’d use just about anything for bait; dragonflies were the best or grasshoppers. Wrap the line around a stick, a can, whatever. Sometimes we’d improvise and get the screen off a window, tie up the corners into a makeshift net and catch minnows or shad out of canals. Nice catfish or an occasional bass would be dinner. I don’t get it Rob…just can’t. I would think your way is best because you can feel the bite easier. Oh well. May the good Lord touch their hearts and give them sound reasoning to see it is HE that provides and that we only are the recipients of HIS blessings. Awesome video Rob! Keep em coming brother! Be safe, enjoy Alaska and don’t let the negativity get to you. They’re everywhere. I’ve been told so many times my tricks won’t work but I get my plate full every time. Canned tuna in oil? Save the oil, put your plastics in it. Rub peanut butter on your crank baits and a home made dragonfly!! Improvise, adapt, overcome!! Have fun!! See ya!!

I freaking love your content and Bluegabes!!!! Y'all remind me so much of my dad!!! I miss my old man so much!! He would have us outdoors all the time!!!!! God bless y'all always!!!!

This man deserves all the success he’s getting! To your kids u have a wonderful father.

I would bet to say that Rob has caught more species of fish than that arrogant fella has even imagined or dreamt to catch. Haters are gonna be haters, forget his bad attitude and do exactly like you did..... proof is in the boat. Keep them coming DMFD!

I love how DMFD can be the most humble person. I also love how when it's time to prove someone wrong he let's them have it! Good on you Rob!

Been watching your videos since you had less than 100k subscribers. This channel and one piece has been my stress buster.

Mr Joe is like the Alaskan boomhower, just seems like such a good dude. Super fun, obviously super talented fisherman. Human beings are just beautiful!!! TGBTG BABY🙏🤘🤘💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm glad that hater was able to make you youtube famous. ;) On a side note you never know you anyone might be. First time I learned this lesson was my first job working in a grocery store in high school. Guy comes in with a dirty shirt, shorts, ballcap, and flipflops. I'm bagging groceries and start bagging his. Its the essentials, milk, bread, eggs, cheese, and a few other items. He doesn't have enough cash to pay for everything and is short a few bucks. I had a great day with tips and so I offered to pay (mostly because I didn't want to put the groceries back) and it was only 2 or 3 bucks. He was shocked and it stunned him for a minute. He didn't have any junk food or beer or anything like that so I felt he might be on hard times. I learned that he wasn't, he was just in a hurry. He asked me if I liked baseball and I told him I have been to a few games. The man I had helped was not poor and was not dirty. It was just CUSTOM prints. Turns out he was the OWNER of Turner Field Stadium in Atlanta, Ga where the Braves play. He gave me his business card and told me I could bring as many friends as I wanted and sit anywhere I wanted. I tried to get all my friends to come but they didn't believe me. I only had one friend come but we got VIP press pass tickets and gate tickets (where celebs and politicians go) and I got same VIP box seats right behind home plate with all the food and drink I could want. I have so many other stories just like this. You never know who is watching or who is listening or who a person is. It pays dividends to remain humble at all times. Even if the people are not bigshots they probably know one and will tell your story to them.

I remember about 25 years ago I went Trout fishing below Beaver Dam on the White River, when I got down by the water with my spin-cast Ultra Light, the fly fishermen that were there said nothing was biting, that they had been fishing for 3 hours with no luck. After about 20 minutes I was leaving. One of the fishermen was up on the bank where I was, he was shocked that I was leaving with my limit (7 fish at that time), I just shrugged my shoulders and said, "exactly what I expected" and left.

You’re so blessed to be able to travel the world meeting so many good people, but it all starts with you. You’re such a humbling and down to earth dude. I’m a subscriber to both you and bluegabe. Two of the most down to earth people. Parents should be proud. Enjoyed the video as always. Thank you

Some folks just lack social graces. Can’t be helped. I’d consider the matter handled. Love your content great work.

I went to Alaska last year with my Father, Uncle, and close family friend. Rented a small RV and traveled from Anchorage to Homer and stopped along the way for fishin. Best time of my life, nothin' beats Alaska fishin

The Capt. that told Rob Arrington what he can and cannot do with an Old Salty is hilarious.

8:42 "nahh its a cyder block i threw it down earlier" 😅😅🤣🤣 thats funny

Deep Creek launch and recoveries are such a blast!!!

Robert, I just read that the ALCAN highway washed out in Canada. The article said it would be months before it reopens. I hope your planning taking the ferry to Washington. Check it out!!

We don't think it's no joke, its about the adventure, the plan, the execution, the experience, and the people. All the above is what makes it a beautiful lasting memory and a warm feeling. It don't matter what body of water it is, for me it's the only way to get that feeling.

Absolutely love Rob’s energy in this video. You are the man buddy. Keep pumping out them videos and spreading that positive love and goodness! From Vancouver Island!

Yeah buddy three bears is awesome 👌 hello from Alaska brother glad you had a great time. 👍

Yo,, Robert the last video where your daughter went fishing with you ,,,was AWESOME, all my kids are grown up and on there own. Your video brought me back in time for sure !!! I hope you read this my friend. You are a very lucky man with a BEAUTIFUL family thank YOU Frank from montana...

What up dearmeat hope you and your family are having so much fun this is truly a once and a lifetime trip can’t wait to see aria and Emma grow up and catch some giant fish

Love the Alaska Series, Alaska is on my bucket list. You fileted that fish so well! Salmon is my favorite sushi. Hanging chad 🤣🤣🤣...

Rob I'm not sure you're ever coming back home. I'm dead serious, I can see you moving the fam to Alaska

Tell me I cant, I'll show you I will! Love it.

Canuk here. 7' Fly Rod with a spinning reel is my favorite since I was a kid and caught my 1st bass using my Dad's rig. People thought I was crazy but the smiles for miles proves them wrong.

Them some strong “trout rods” hahahahaha love you guys God bless Just an amazing video, Rob you are the goat.

I love it. No rude words. Just action. I call u out saying i bet you won’t go fishing with me at some point :) great job. Great videos. God is great. I would be fishing everyday but my sons seizures make it difficult. Keeps me going watching. I’m a Capt that had to quit for the family.

I was out there a year ago this same time in the Cook Inlet. We went out with a charter captain (Fish On Fire), who was cut from a different cloth. He put us on the fish quickly and we limited out in 2 hours but his personality makes me wonder if it was this captain that was giving Rob a hard time. As good a captain he was, I could never use him again bc of his personality. Way to go Rob and thanks for showing us how to prove the haters wrong.

😂😂😂😂😂 “yeah ..seagull said you gotta subscribe.” That line alone gotta get you over 100+subs

I'm speechless and that's saying something. Lol. This trip, footage and family. Wow. Thank you for sharing, you have no idea. Again, thank you for taking us along.

old salty strikes again,well played sir rob!yall just keep bringin great vids so much respect to yall!suesi sho looked so good..god bless staysafe..

As for the cat knocking you, imagine when he realizes who he was dealing with! Before braid, and all the crazy new lines, I've stuck with the lightest mono and tackle for 50+ years because of the CHALLANGE!

Anchor point tractor launch. Uncles cabin is on the bluff with the green roof. We get free launches because he fixed the very rig you were driving. I don’t recall seeing you use juice on your bait.

I love how you just roll up, introduce yourself and bam, just like that; Friends. Love it!

The ending was the best with the strip steaks & rib-eye.....OH MY ! and then that sushi platter ! I sure wish I was able to have a sample ?

“See that that sucks” LGB “I did that” LOL!!!!

Rob, I was just watching your show here and if I may suggest an idea for you when it comes to a great steak. At home I use an injector that I use for turkey and other meats. 1 1/2 tbsp melted butter.(per steak) Fresh lemon juice and garlic powder(Easier to dissolve) to taste inject them then add what ever seasoning you choose. I let mine sit over night but at least a couple of hours. after you finished cooking set on a plate and cover with foil for about 10 mins.

I can’t believe someone insulted you like that ! You are a world renowned fisherman. Glad you showed him !

Ok the coolest part about that little grocery store you went to is there is a room in the back where they used to sale and trade furs. You can pick you up a caribou hide or artic hare linx what ever they got.

Never doubt that old saily its for every fishing trip... love all the Alaska videos

The fin meat "ungawa" of halibut is definitely worth saving to eat. Works great for cut bait too as it stays on the hook and is in long strips. If you love sashimi then ungawa marinated in any of several ways is amazing. Don't waste it.

Glad you, & your family are enjoying a great time in Alaska! Making so many great memories with friends as you travel threw Alaska! The fishing really looks good with new size fish that your reeling in on the boat. The cook outs with so many new friends is beautiful! Love you guy’s, & your family, excellent channel. Be safe, stay healthy, & God Bless everyone!

Love everything you do Rob when I’m down I watch your videos it brings me back to life the fact I get to get off work and watch this video is even better hopefully I get to meet you and fish with you one day 🎣🎣🎣 tight lines 🎣🎣

Been here for years, all I can say is I'm so glad your brother does this too, like having twice the content you really want. Deermeatfordinner and bluegabe, don't ever stop, you are truly blessed. I love that you aren't ashamed to pray on video.

it's like the rover bringing the spaceship to the launch pad eh? hahaha!!!!

Omg.....the petty revenge.....love it 😂😂

I just had to share this but i cooked some good catfish today and cooked it up in some butter and of course seasoned with everglades... but also cooked me up some Spanish rice with rotel tomatoes and put the fish over the Spanish rice and hot sauce and it was amazing.... Robert I'm trying some of these good looking recipes..thanks

Robert, I took a seven foot medium action bass rod up there to catch silver salmon. People thought I was crazy. I got half my limit in three drops. and sat there waiting for the others in my party to do the same. Handed the rod to my buddy and he lost ten in about a half hour before getting used to it and got his half limit soon after. We went out and got halibut and rockfish before going to get the rest of our silvers once again and after getting "dropped on" by one of our guys who didn't pay attention, I lost three in a row. I moved and got two more which was one shy of a limit and then I dropped for the last time and my rod doubled over. Same witless guy was going to drop net to me, but I threatened him with death. I fought that fish hard for nearly 25 minutes and was rewarded with a 22 pound king salmon. Yes anything is possible and I love you are proving the locals wrong, like I did

Rob keep doing what you’re doing! Awesome videos

Dang, this is really good publicity for John Deere, saltwater is the worst enemy of a vehicule and this one works flawlessly even doing regular beach launches

Thanks for the video been real depressed bout loosing my career job n these videos help me.

Wow! Amazing that 'Alaskan Swamp Buggy ' can stand up very long to that saltwater emersion !

This man has such a pure heart so entertaining humble and kind i wish i could walk again and go fish with him

Capt. Joe definitely drank his breakfast. My Man!! lol

Hi Rob, Looks like your killing it here in Alaska, great to see you enjoying this great state!! August 10th is the Caribou opener and you might be able to bag yourself a Caribou from the 40 Mile herd, would love to see you do that hunt. If you have any questions give me a shout-Ron

Rob, I currently live in Arizona but have often dreamed of living in Alaska. These videos are making that dream look even better.

That’s just my prove a point fish🤣let’s goooo rob🤜🤛

Way to show em Rob gettin it done 👍👍

Dear sir, I have watched your channel for at least a year now. You have never failed to entertain. Never thought I would miss Alaska. Back in 1997 I helped a buddy move from Tampa Fl. to Anchorage. I only stayed for a week. Anyhow Thank you for providing such top notch stuff on youtube.

Hey Deer Meat. I would not have called you out. That guy got some skews loss. Lol. Keep up the good work. 💯😁

Thanks guys

Fried chicken and DMFD showing you all how it's done.

This has to be the best series DMFD has made yet…. Loving the Alaska videos, thanks for sharing.

What's Up Happy People! DMFD fan from the Philippines! God Bless!

They use them here in Texas for dragging the trees out when logging. Call them a skidder.

Hello rob your a good man and you have a awesome family. Some people just don’t understand your a outdoors man with more hands on getting thing done and a big heart to help anyone in need of help. I have to say good job on telling and showing that person he was wrong to begin with. I was told never say it can’t be done if your never tried it yourself. Those fish look good to eat yummy. Wish I knew how good they are. Well you have great day rob and to your family as well. God bless you rob and your family for all these awesome videos. Stay safe and strong from your fan dove.

i love to catch bigger fish on lighter tackle when it goes well its the best feeling in the world my wife Joanne had a bad back and she said the adrenalin KICK was the best painkiller in the world and she loved fishing before she passed away from cancer aged just 45

I love the prove a point fish!!! Rob don’t play!

Love all your shows. I’m from Nauru in the middle of the pacific. Keep those nice videos coming .. cheers

The big roll series is awesome. I always look forward to what's next. And after a lo g day at work and few hours fishing . I lay down and see this swap buggy and it made my day. Thanks rob

Awesome. My dad brother and I were in Homer for the 4th and did a Halibut trip and salmon trip all the way from Dallas on the Kachemak King. Drove right past yall and didnt even know it. It was amazing up there, everywhere you look is like a painting.

Thumbs up for using a flame thrower to start the grill.

That captain definitely Got you pumped great video. You should of said this is how we do it out of Jupiter florida 🤣😭🤣🤣🤣. Fish on Rob

We fish halibut with fly rods and spinning reels it's a blast caught several close to 100lb halibut on 8 weight fly rods with 30lb test line

LOL ADD MORE OF THOSE CLOSE UP SHOTS OF THE FOOD THEY WERE REAL CRISP...

I love the old salty rod

9:03 Trout rod lives matter!! ✊️ 😏 🤣

Not only does he prove the hater wrong he does it with style, while dropping knowledge of how to do it yourself! Rob you're a legend!

You don't have to prove anything to anyone! Your loyal viewers know your character and we know you! A Godly man and we all love you! You're gonna have haters and those with the jealousy disease! I love, love. love me some DeerMeatFotDinner!💜🙏🏾 I miss y'all when you were not shooting videos!💗💗💗💗💗💗

Robert I would say you prooved a point

I love this sunblock 🤣 RIH my dad always used the old salty😍😍😍

Thank You for awesome views on Alaska never been there though. Good Video.

I’m a Bering sea fisherman and that attitude runs rampant out there lol.

I really want to go see this place again. I grew up in the Soldotna / Kenai area on Funny River Road. I very much enjoy watching your family’s adventures!

Deep Creek ,Ninilchik awesome … 1990’s it was the best place for Halibut

love the torch

That captain is probably scared to use the torch 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That was a setup halibut for sure

That is super cool, me and the wife were just in Ninilchik 3 weeks ago. We stayed at Soaring Eagle Lodge. We launched from that spot with Ninilchik Charters, we brought 47 pounds of Halibut back to West Texas (San Angelo)…

Oh wow, I loved this video! You go Rob, show them northern guys what a southern boy can do with a spinner rod! Hilarious!😂

Modified timber skidder! Lol too heavy swamp submarine!

8:20 I do everything I do for people around me, come on Rob we know you didn’t say that 🤣🤣🤣🤣
