  • With the Alaskan summer sun high in the sky we head out for an adventure to our new favorite remote pike fishing lake. After a brief but thrilling river ride, we were greeted with beautiful weather and a day of non stop pike action.
    We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

    I appreciate Ariel’s concern for the welfare of the fish. It’s so admirable that you guys farm, catch and hunt for your own meat for food but maintain a sense of responsibility for being humane.

    The sound of the boat hitting the waves brought back memories of fishing with my grandfather when I was a child. I would laugh so much I couldn’t breathe. I think he got as much of a kick out of my laughter as I did bouncing around.

    Opening montage is chef's kiss; stunningly beautiful ... visual, sound, music, aerial, slow-mo, closeups.. what's not to love!? As a NorCal trout fisher (brook to trophy lake) every fish you tossed back hurt my soul, lol! Trout are a difficult catch, finicky feeders, so many rules, and strict limits. When you finally land one and have to throw back due to size, it's painful to part with them. When they are of size and in limit, we almost always keep ... cuz it may be the last (or only!) one you catch not just for the day, but for your outing or even an entire season. Thank you for an afternoon on the water; envious!

    • @dragonflyshomeandgarden1605
      @dragonflyshomeandgarden1605 Před 15 dny +3

      Is the size the reason why they put the fishes back to the river? For me the Pikes seem big. I'm a little consternd when I see this. Here in Germany 'catch an release' (for Fun) is vorbidden because of the injuries of the fishmouth. But of course too little fishes can be released.

    • @hellabiz4289
      @hellabiz4289 Před 15 dny +2

      @@dragonflyshomeandgarden1605 yes; trout have very delicate mouths and hooking them when they're young and/or small to begin with often destroys the jaw and ability to feed properly. When we fish in streams, the hooks are tiny and barbless ... less to tear them up with. On lakes with trophy they are 20+ inches. Many lakes now have a toss-back of anything shorter than 18" and streams, less than 8". The California Fish/Game department rules change every year; are different for different areas, even by stream/river. Confusing as heck! The pike they're Eric and Arielle are pulling out are a much more resilient fish with an actual 'bite.' They're invasive, non-native pretty much everywhere in North America/USA, and they EAT TROUT! So I'm all for bagging as many as possible to get them outta the ecosystem ... Have done lots of things in Germany, but never had a chance to go fishing there!!

    I was so happy to see you have a day off, fishing, at such a glorious location. Much deserved after so much work on your property.
    Your videos are stunning with the story, sights, sounds, and animal (and birds and fish) life. Very entertaining. Much better than TV and most of Netflix.
    Thank you for the enjoyment you bring to your almost 800,000 subscribers.
    PS Please do an end-of season review of house, chickens, shop (quonset hut), solar, equipment, and landscaping. Cannot wait for all the gardening, harvesting, recipes, and eating to come. Know your first year with new garden will be a huge success.
    Bless you

    I absolutely love to fish for Northern Pike! My favorite lure is the classic Eppinger Silver Red Eye Wiggler. It will literally catch pike anywhere. But we have always found that to catch the big fish, you just about have to trawl for them. Not as fun as casting.

    That is one awesome trip. Harvesting needed food and having a wonderful time doing it. That's pretty much the definition of a perfect day! Thanks for taking us along. Enjoy your awesome summer! BTW that's a beautiful Yamaha 65 back there👍. Cheers.

    I super liked that you added the two safety tips at the end of your story, the remoteness requires safety be first and foremost. I've one more to add for the casual reader, this almost goes without saying, but even on these "short" one day trips- always pack in a top quality first aid kit.
