What an epic battle with a monster fish ..... sooooo glad you were able to film this. It would be hard to envision such a fish without this video. Thank you Mikael and Hakan, and especially your photographer.
To celebrate such magnificent fish in a legendary setting and a long friendship, you are both fortunate and wise indeed. Thank you for the film, the release of such singular fish and your story telling. I look forward to seeing more. Best regards from the USA.
Wow! A 50-60lb Atlantic salmon is something that you may only experience once in a lifetime. Thanks for sharing this with us. I am blessed to have some decent rivers around me but none that come close to the mighty Alta
Hakan by NASCO The Weight of your Fish is Estimated to be the Big 50, but i think you could add another 5 at least. What a film!!. Thanks again from the Salmon fly fishers of the UK.
everything in this video is just so beautiful. I just started fly fishing a couple month ago. I wish I can have an experience lik this. much respect from Japan.
Great video, congratulations! I read the article about this fishing trip in Chasing Silver magazine and now I could see it on video and all I can say is awesome, amazing, great,...!!! Thight lines from Austria
Wow, insane! Well done, you guys are really know some good spots. You got that massive salmon on a fly and rod. Unbelievable! Good thing you got the video, didn't think salmon got that big anymore.
Awesome video and fishing!! I’m in Washington state, USA and lucky to catch fish half that size. I got a 26lb Chinook this year out fishing in Westport. Was awesome.
Well done guy's! Now that's friendship.... Mikael exhausting yourself rowing that boat to make sure your buddy got his " fish of a lifetime. " Happy Birthday Hakan 😀 Now it's time to wind up Mikael about catching his wee trout lol! Until next time guy's " Take care "😉
The closest I'll ever get to the Alta. Mind you, I'm lucky to live in a part of the world where fishing is not just for the rich.... Cheers for the experience!
There was doubt in his voice that the birthday boy could catch such a magnificent fish on a Banana 🍌 Pig 🐖 . Well I guess he was wrong , at least he did not cut the leader . What are friends for :-) Happy Trails
Have to watch this video every six months just to remind myself that such places, such fish, and such friendships exist. Wonderful.
Thank You! ...and yes the best friend & biggest fish on the best river!
Totally agree. Fantastic
Stunning fish Håkan and what a birthday present, not forgetting Mikael for being a great friend and Ghillie...ATB Davie..
Utterly amazing, well done Harkan and your Ghillie Mikael! What lifetime memories are made of.

Canada west coast has fish but rarely like that now,amazing. around the world we should all release fish of any giant size.
The clarity of this is amazing. What is this filmed with?! Congrats on the monster fish! Greetings from buffalo NY!
Amazing Fish !! Happy Birthday
Awesome job guys 👍
Amazing well done
I have been wondering for a good while, what is that your hat? Wich brand? I gotta get one of those!
haha.... old and smelly now! Have no idea of the brand sorry!
My god lads the size of those fish in these waters are insane
What river is this ??
Alta Norway!
Insane stuff
Absolutely fantastic FISH amazing
Amazing place and what a fish! well done :)
Classy job gentlemen. 👍
👍 very nice release also well done
What a fish congratulations
Fish of a lifetime
Vilket absolut monster!!
Very good!
You should go to utsjoki that locates at Finland
Wish we had fish like that on the Colombia. Maybe a Patagonia documentary will help?
Atlantic salmon is the finest fish.
The Colombia, Elwha and Hoh had fish like that until it was damned, now you have to go way north into BC or the Kenai!
Nice fish, nice boat
how many time do you think that fish has spawned ??
i think this is a second time spawner
Bravo Zulu to the both of you.
How the heck did you get a license to fish there? 😅🐟
everyone who lives in the area can catch them. And for people thats not from the area are there only 75 people that can fish
«every local» is before mid-summer, after mid-summer there´s a lottery for us too: 4000+ participates in a draw for 600+ cards 🤞🏻
Felicitaciones .. lindo rio , buen equipo y linda pesca .. un sueño .-
Just impressive! 👍
A big round of applause...
If that Frödin-hat is lost, he will never catch anything anymore.
TRUTH!
Great story in an amazing enviroment
Wow, that's a big fish.
What camera was used to shoot this?
Hi - all this was done with a gopro - pretty good right! ;-)
Truly a giant!
looks like a twin of Ben Kingsley!
There was doubt in his voice that the birthday boy could catch such a magnificent fish on a Banana 🍌 Pig 🐖 . Well I guess he was wrong , at least he did not cut the leader . What are friends for :-)
Happy Trails
Fishing heaven
