- We take our first salmon fishing trip of the year to the beautiful town of Seward, Alaska. The fish were plentiful, leaving us time to check out the boat harbor and Bear Creek Weir before our drive home.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

My husband Josh Bergman met Eric and Ariel on their first day snag fishing it Seward. He's not a commenter so I will do it for him. Thanks to Ariel for taking a picture with him and to Bo and Bandit for posing. Josh didn't get to take a picture with Eric, but he said he was very friendly. That day was Josh's 42nd birthday and meeting you both was truly a highlight. We watch simple living Alaska all the time and your channel was a big reason we came up here for our 2022 summer vacation. Thanks for sharing your lives with the internet and being so nice in person as well.
Awe thank you 😊 Happy Late Birthday!! We hope you enjoyed Alaska 💙
Alaska should hire you to do their advertising. You capture such beauty. Breathtaking. Your calender is amazing too.
I completely agree. I just finished telling my husband I want to visit Alaska just based alone on what I see on these videos
@@trapps99 definitely, incredible cinematography
I just love your Alaska lifestyle! Your video's makes me want to visit for a month! You and the dogs are such a joy to watch through your camera lens!
Thank you for sharing your lives with us, I just LOVE it!
I just thought the same watching this video! I am absolutely in love with their nature shots! Being from Germany I mostly won’t ever see anything like this unless I travel to places like this but their shots are increeeedible!
Your right these two make Alaska an amazing place, I've tried watching other Alaska videos and they don't even come close to what Areial and Eric produce!
The sound of a passing train and it's whistle horn really relaxes me. My father and I used to sit in the backyard of our home past midnight listening to the distant train. and it was our way of bonding.
I worked on that train once. It was quite the adventure, especially the long trips up to Denali...
I love the sound of trains too ♥️👍🏽
Well now we know why Alaska has such long dark winters- it gives everyone the chance to rest up after the action-packed summers there! That was an exhilarating excursion!
There's a reason why this is illegal in other parts of the country. This isn't fishing.
@@MS-qb4vs Snagging is a poor excuse for getting fish.
@@MS-qb4vs salmon fishing isn’t about fishing. It’s about conservation and stocking the freezer. We snag or we dipnet. You won’t understand it unless you lived here and live like us. The way we live here, you really can’t get anywhere else. Some of the best anglers in the world are here.
Soo true. Summer comes, ya get really busy look ip and the light looks like4:pm and its 11:30. Sooo tired at the end of summer
The Mom in the back round with her two kids is awesome Thats how kids should be raised!! Great Video guys!!!!
There were so many kids out there each time I went this year, it's so great to see.
Hey that mom is me, and my friend with her kids!
We had a blast that day!
@@ashleighnaber3321 Kudos to you, your friend, and her kiddums! 🤗 Did you guys stay over night down there, or did you go back to town? That's a long day cruising down there and pulling in all the salmon.. And dipnet season starts July 10th, so we're all going to have very full freezers! ~~~~~~ 🐟🐟🐟 xoxo
WOW the things I get to vicariously experience throught you all! I had a wonderful time, thanks for taking me with you.
Best reply, I agree! ☺
"You've got an 8 inch bill?" 🤣🤣🤣 Love that!
Great trip and well done!
My husband can’t stop saying, “That’s some crazy fishing!” 😆
I know what he means! It's like the number one rule if fishing is "No snagging!" If you snag it instead of mouth hooking it, you gotta throw it back.

I'm just sooo impressed with your postings! and the adventure content. Thanx for sharing your activities, for those of us who are too 'over the hill' to venture forth. I never knew that there was sooo much to see/do in Alaska, until you showed us. Keep informing us! please.
Every year I watch your life evolving and it’s like , salmon season , harvest, moose hunt, preserving and I love every minute of it, you give so much pleasure to your subscribers may you continue for years to come , love from UK ❤️
Omgosh....that mamma out there fishing with her baby on her back. ❤️ Girl power
Bo knows, Bandit's ready!! And fresh reds is a GOOD thing. Too much fun.
I just want to say, I love love love your channel!!!! Your both an inspiration!
Did a GREAT JOB in catching the fish !!! My Heart was BEATING like a Race Horse every time YOU caught a Fish !!! Their BABIES FISH there !!!
Hey you guys... I know this is absolutely off topic but I need to share this with you. I have ZERO explanation why I think about this on a semi regular basis but to this day I absolutely CRINGE when I think about that root cellar debacle!!!! That post you guys put up sharing the fact after all that work and $$$ that you had no alternative but to fill in the hole!!!?? I'm by no means a touchy feely man but all I wanted to do was give you two the biggest hug and try amd say something to make it better!!!! Which would have been futile I readily admit!!! Holy cow that was a heartbreaker!!! I've lived in Alaska and fully understand the effort it takes to thrive in that environment. And taking steps backwards always sucks out loud!!! You two handled that with such grace and poise. I promise you that wouldn't have been said for me if I had been in your shoes!!! Continued blessings as well wishes on all you guys endeavor to accomplish. You two are learning something many people never learn in a lifetime. It's not about what one has are doesn't have... Life's treasure is found in the process. It's not the road traveled its the traveling itself. You guys understand that...
Blessing from Montana...
Seriously we love you guys…whole family comes down to watch…go Eric and Ariel!
What a strong and beautiful fish. There should definitely be a paint color called " sockeye silver"! What an exciting trip. Congratulations on your success. Thank you for sharing.
and it is very, very delicious! 🐟 🤗 🐟 🤗 🐟 🤗 🐟
That was totally mesmerizing to see those fish swim upstream. You guys did great out there today. And, fast, too. I see great salmon meals coming up!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
The way she whacked the last fish, saying sorry and hitting it multiple times.... I laughed way to hard. But only because I'm the same way. Looks like a ton of fun! Thanks for sharing your trip.
I always lol when Ariel apologizes to the fish 😂
Saw your notice and said, yes!!!! Another adventure. Love your channel. You two are the best and of course, Bo and Bandit.
Oh my gosh - MY adrenalin is pounding, I guess you guys didn't come down till the next day! How stinkin fun!
Of all the different things I love about your channel, I so love how you love Beau, And Bandit!❤️
The Intro ......is EVERYTHING , love from England, westmidlands🥰🥰
ya love to see it
I've never seen this type of fishing. Thanks for sharing!
This type of fishing for salmon one can only dream about!
I don't even like fish yet I watch all your fishing videos and preserving videos of them.
That was so awesome! The beauty of the snow covered mountain backdrop was mesmerizing! The drone footage was spectacular! But the best part was to see how very excited you both were! Thank you for sharing and appreciating the simple life! 💞
I'm living vicariously through you guys, way to go with the salmon. Each season you guys get better at it. It's fun watching you learn as you go and seeing the progress you make every year. Good job guys.
Proper organization of salmon fishing for harvesting by the population... Respekt!
So excited cause I'm currently without power due to a thunderstorm/tornado 🌪 that hit yesterday and I need a distraction since I still have phone service. Just sitting in my Jeep watching CZcams cause it's so hot outside.
Great fishing but can’t wait to see how you make your next meal out of it. Yum I’m sure❤️
Same here😎
I always enjoy watching your videos thank you so much for sharing this awesome adventure
I'm summoning the husband again to watch. Can't wait! Alaska is a dream and so is your channel. ♥️🧡💛💜
Ariel really had me rolling ...that salmon between her legs and she kept it!
My favorite thing every time you fish is Arielle saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry fish," as she dispatches her catch. That would be SO ME! It just shows her respect for the life, while knowing the life of her catches will provide life and nourishment for them. I love it. That last one was such a fighter, but I was so afraid it would get away, only to die due to partial damage. Good job Arielle. I worried, though, for both of you that you'd snag yourselves on those huge treble hooks while your fish flopped around and you tried grabbing them. I flinched every time. Your fishing escapades and gardening are my favorite videos. And as much as I'm not into hunting, and despise sport hunting, I don't mind your hunting trips because it's for sustainance and you show great care and respect while always using all parts of the animal. I really look forward to your next moose hunt. When might that be?
The only thing I have a problem with is snag fishing. Seems unnecessary cruel and damaging, especially to the fish that gets off the hooks.
I'm sure they'll sleep better knowing that you don't mind their kind of hunting...🙄
I saw you guys. Caught my limit as well. Had my dogs with me so couldn’t leave them in the car for too long. Amazing experience snagging.
The “little beater stick” is rather sinisterly, called a “priest”
That was beautiful salmon......Ariel caught one after another...she will never go hungry.......she is tough......
"I got the fishin' fever!", says Eric. I'm afraid once you catch it you have it for life!
Great to see you in my old town! You hit it at a great time. There were many occasions when I was skunked while trying for reds. Some day, take the road along the bluffs out of downtown to Lowell point, then hike out to Tonsina Creek, which opens up to a beautiful secluded beach. Sometimes when crossing the creek, it is filled with spawning salmon. You're sure to have a beautiful time there...
Outstanding fishing trip, you guys! Can’t wait to see how you process the bounty.
Oh my goodness! 1:30 into your show and I’m already smitten! Great intro!!! Now…back to watching the show!!!
Ariel fish wrestling was too funny.😂😂😂👊👊
Have never seen a video this early It was awesome.
Woohoo, a new vid from my favourite "Alaskan friends". 🙌
Before I watch any of your amazing life...I grab a coffee, so I will do that STAT. Very hot here in Southwestern, ON 🇨🇦...otherwise I'd grab a blanket too. Happy Strawberry Moon night, love you two!
Hugs! ❤
The fishing and planting is my favorite part of all your vid...specially harvest time❤
Resurrection Bay in Seward never fails to impress. Beautiful place. I miss it. Lived in Alaska for 10 years from 1995 to 2005.
LOVE these vids! Thanks!
Alaska, the only state I've not had the pleasure of visiting. Watching this makes me wanna go even more... Great videos y'all produce
I've been missing you kids for a long time now I had to get a another cell phone I remember when my family had property up there but that was some time ago I'm now 68 I have such joy to watch your program Thank you so much for sharing
Do you want to know how you can prepare your salmon eggs I will let you know since I am 68 years old I am old school okay you take your salmon eggs massage them like your massaging hamburger lay it out flat on some paper towels and start from the very end and start scraping and it and you will get as much as you want at any time and so much easier than how you are doing it right now that is a good way that you are doing it I kid you not the kids are very very smart but I thought I would pass that on to you
Great views and bloopers! I love watching your videos. I can’t wait to see you smoke your catch!
you guys are amazing! the stuff you do, your very fortunate to be able to do what you do. enjoy the time of your lives.
I had the time of my life snagging g at Seward last year. Father's day present from my family. Thanks for taking me back.
Snagging is a shame.
Alaska Railways...loved that show, too. Thanks for the wonderful drone shots.
Hello from Arizona, I enjoyed your vlog.thanks for inviting me on your adventure, I someday would love to go there to Alaska.take care and God bless ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Wow!!! Absolutely stunning introduction cinematography. You’ve sold me the train journey, the scenery, out with the boys and team the incredible wild life. Awesome video guys thank you. X
i lov watching your videos ! never stop doing this ! you are both really good at it and we all see its fun for you both too !
"You've got an 8 inch Bill?!? "🤣🤣🤣 I really did watch the whole vlog but seriously the end had me lol!
...GREAT TRIP, KEEP SAFE AND WELL..
Awesome video. Just look forward to new videos because I love watching you guy’s live off grid.
Omg!! I've so much fun watching you guys catch fish!!
Like snagging fish in a barrel. 😂. And I love Ariel’s fish fighting stance. Great video guys
I loved the last fish being caught. 'Bonk bonk bonk' "sorry fish sorry" 😆
One of the best videos you have made. So interesting, fun and informative. Please, when you can, make a project on salmon, explaining everything you have learned. Love you both.
Love the fishing you make it look easy!
💯💪💖..fish!!!
another great trip!!!
Yay! I'm excited to watch this video. The salmon videos are my favorites!
Sooo jealous, we visited AK last Sept and loved it. Spent time in kenai pennensula as well as the matsu (?) Valley... just loved it
What an awesome life you two have!!
Here fishy fishy 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 can't wait for another week of meals using these beauties in the winter!!!
That intro was amazing. Alaskan Tourist information... Great editing..😀
That was an amazing fishing trip. I’ve never seen so many people in one spot and all casting for salmon. It always nice to see the landscape of the area you visit. You both have happy faces when you catch the fish. Until your next video, take care and be safe .(Judy NB)🇨🇦🌲
Your vlogs represent the real and stunning Alaska to me. It is just as I have always imagined in my mind and seen on TV. You bring it so close that it is breathtaking, I can almost smell the forests and rivers. Greetings from Finland, our mosquitos have awakened, hope yours' are not as vicious as our's are 🙂 I just love summer and the midnight sun time, so much energy and time to do things.
the mosquitos are pretty brutal here too
Wow I cannot believe I haven't commented on this video before- Bloody Amazing & Thank you to you both for sharing. Cheers Denise- Australia
Awesome fishing day. Beautiful pictures too.
Love this one too! The wildlife and scenery are so beautiful!!
What a beautiful intro! Love the lupine so purplish and the dogs enjoying the water, nice love watching vids. Thank you 😊
WOW, I never knew you could snag Salmon in Alaska. First time seeing this. Really nice BEAUTIFUL Alaska 😍.
Alaska is beautiful.... hope its kept this way for generations to come
Thanks for this! I love to fish and love you get food to put by. Oh, and I call that stick your fish bonker😁
Take care and best to you, Bo, Bandit, Pepper, chickens, and the bees
PS: Bo catching the hooligan in the other video? I cheered!
I'm alway so sad when your videos end. I love them all.
That train reminded me of Hobo Shoestring's channel, hopping trains. He hopped a few freight trains up in Alaska too. That guy is one free spirit.
Oh my gosh! I've never caught a fish before. That looks exciting!! There's lots of good eats for you. Can't wait to watch you process those beauties!! Thanks for sharing your good times!!
Perfect video for me to reminisce about my dad this week, he was a fisherman in Ketchikan and worked on the trains in my childhood. Thanks for sharing the fun!
Thanks, brought back lots of memories of my 2004 trip to AK. Spent one week inland, anchorage, palmer, Homer, Denali, then took the AK railroad to Seward and took the cruise south to Van cover. A great two week trip. Didn't have much time in Seward or would have liked to catch a red. Caught our limit of Halibut in Homer. You guys are rocking it. Look forward to each video. Like so many others. Thanks for sharing AK and your adventures.
I really enjoyed this video. I like the regard you give each other. Thanks for sharing your insights and experiences. These are all places I hope to visit.
When I took an inside passage cruise from Vancouver, BC, up to Anchorage, our last port of call was Seward. We didn't get to linger long, though, because we had to go hop on the train north to Anchorage. It's nice to see a little bit more of the bay & town!
Would love to be doing that! 🦈🎣
Another great video. Thank you!!!
Stunning backdrops! 🦈
It's nearly 1am in England and was just about to hit the sack ( bed) but seen Eric and Ariels new video. I know your only allowed to get a certain amount of fish each visit, but could you go back the next day and get another 12 fish or is their a legal limit on how much you can catch throughout salmon season? Loving your videos, hi from Ascot Berks UK
6 fish each per day, so yes they could have gone back to do it all over again...
Funnily enough, I’ve just done the same thing, albeit it’s now nearly 3am in Northumberland 😂
After the cost recovery boats get their quota, they'll raise the daily limit to 12, possession 24. I have limited out 5 times thus far this year at this very spot.
@@JustMike2791 really wish I wasn’t up in Fairbanks right now… got my 6 over Memorial Day but I’m hankering for some more
@@basictrainer I know, even though my freezer has never been this full, made sure we won't run out in November like we did last year. I'll go without, just can't pay over $20 for a red fillet. I give a lot away to family and neighbors too. Good luck and I hope you make the time to get out while the getting is good.
You guys are so inspiring, living the dream🙏✌️🤗 nice 1st fish too
I just saw a video on CZcams about powdering tomatoes and thought of you. The video I watched was from Jill Winger. Good way to save space with storage of tomatoes and other vegetables.. Love your videos! I wish there were more. and that they were longer.
I love the way u love and enjoy each others company I wish mine was the same but I'm older
It’s amazing the videos that you upload. It’s just amazing that you get to live in such a beautiful place. By the way is that a new truck. Looks nice, can’t wait to see the next one.
This was absolutely fascinating. Never knew you could catch fish that way! Although for the fish, that must be the most bizarre experience 😂😂
Big beautiful supper catching.
Watching a salmon swim upstream -- there is their power, their glory.
must be the place. beautiful all around with the water, the snow-covered mountains and the millions of dollars in boats. nice fishing you two and another great video
I was up there May 25th through June 4th. I can’t wait to move up there! You guys probably ran into my dad out there!
