For those of us who have long since passed the age when such things are possible we collectively give you a huge THANK YOU. Your adventures take me back 40 years when I did such things myself. But no more. Enjoy it while it lasts. Time is mysterious in how it vanishes so quickly. You’re an honor to your generation and you’ve done yourself proud. I’ve watched all of your videos and I’ve observed how you’ve continued to perfect your fishing, filming, and editing. It’s really top shelf stuff. Fantastic work! You’ve reached a level of perfection only attained by very few others in the fly fishing genre. Well done!!!
As an afterthought, you should have 100k+ subscribers based on the superb quality of your work. Be patient and keep learning and improving and one day soon you’ll stand at the summit alone.
Mate, what can I say to such kind words...? Other than thank you and that I’m super happy that people like yourself are enjoying the content I put out. I’m Very aware that I won’t be able to do this forever and am all about making the most of it while I can!! We get one shot at this...!!
That last fish was incredible Alex ... Water is so much like the water in back country Fiordland ... Fantastic video Alex was close to as good as being there with you. Thanks !!!
Wow! What an amazing trip. It is incredible that you can walk up a river until it peters out and you still have monster trout. Just unbelievable fish!! Thanks for all the blisters. Your video made my week.
Stunning fish & video from start to finish!I was on the the drys Sunday evening fish were everywhere great fun down at my local reservoir trout fishery fishing suspenders & klinkhammers 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🎣🏴🏴🏴🏴😁😁
@@TrippinOnTrout it certainly was Alex they weren’t easy as they are quick learners refusing everything during the day you see the odd fish being caught I was taking them on the size 14 hares ear suspenders🏴🏴 🐟🎣😁
Hay Alex, awsome video, what a treat to watch the fishing action in such a picturesque place, like you said what a way to end your south island trip, thanks for taking the time to come down and share you adventures with us 👍😎🎣
The journey is as important as the destination, and what a awesome journey this series has been ! Top notch videos, thanks for taking us all along on these epic adventures Cheers
That is the pinnacle of our obsession. Sick fish/ footage/editing /music and river. Your constantly pushing the boundaries. You will have 100 thousand by the end of the year.
Another Primo. vid brutha, even da ole tuna made ' himself' known..cosh.. wish dem taraute were like dat back hm in the Whirinaki riv.. awesome coveridge, fishin' skills.. Ataahua hoki..Kia ora 🤙 👍-gracias
Holy moly!! What a stunning few days and awesome fish. The more I see of your country the more I fall in love with it. Brilliant again Alex - so envious!
Thanks for bringing use along on that Amazing Adventchurrr !! Getting all those awesome shot and drone footage must have cut into your fishing but I think I speak for most when I say much Appreciated !! Well done 👍
Quite the backhand on those last two nettings. Some great under water footage on releases. Love the drone footage also. Nailed another one, Fantastic video.
That was top drawer watch Alex- Some hard work, pristine nature, good weather, all those fish were in top condition. That last one was a proper lump... and in a glass clear pool so easy to have spooked. Great to see them well treated and go back to where they belong. 🙌
Wonderfull trip and amazing landscape Alex. Love watching your videos. Couldn’t be better with those giants brownies!! Congrats and thanks for sharing the beautiful NZ. Cheers from Patagonia.
As always Alex ...a great video presentation ( not just flies you present well!!) ..those birds steal everything and leave it all over the place ...lets hope we can meet up next year ..flights booked just depends on how the situation develops !!
Absolutely fantastic record of an amazing trip! You'll be able to look back on that one and just go wow!!! Thanks for sharing your adventures and apart from the epic fish moments, also really appreciate the extra effort you put in to get great additional footage to bring it all together when you must be dead on your feet! You've really created a really great video. Look after the feet and I look forward to the next!
Great fishing and well worth the blisters. I think you have taken another step in you film making and editing. It really gives the whole story and takes you on the journey, not just catching fish, but the scenery and experience. Well done Alex.
Hi Alex, what can I say that hasn’t been said by everyone else? Fantastic fishing and photography as well as the editing. Congratulations and thanks. You need to have another good think about feet care, blisters are not a natural injury but more of a lack of due care and attention. Take note from an old soldier, look after your feet and you will get to the next bend in the river of life. Cheers mate. Haere rā .
@@TrippinOnTrout Hi Alex, just remembered that we use to carry a “Housewife” in our kit that had needles, safety pins, cotton, silk thread etc. When we got a blister we threaded a needle with some cotton, pierced the blister with the cotton (not actually into the blister but a few mm just before and after the blister) forming a tunnel through which the fluid in the blister can escape. The double thread of cotton acts like a wick allowing the moisture to escape and lets the top skin dry and the new skin evolve and whole lot does not get infected. This is nothing new as the Roman Legionaries must have used it. I picked up the idea in Africa from a Légion étrangère soldier and has stood me in good stead all my life. So, I can guarantee that it works. Cheers mate, and keep those out of the way fishing trips going, you are showing us a part of NZ most of us never see. Keep safe. Harera
Mate ... your work just gets better and better. Keep doing it please. (From Wales where the rivers are up, chocolate and not going down any time soon.)
I would love to see you team up with Mike Fisher for an epic video fishing the South Island. I dream about fishing in New Zealand one day! Great video!
absolutely incredibly beautiful film, you are so incredibly good at getting your films together with both music and underwater films. lucky that there is so that the rest of us can sit at home and be in tears👍🏻😉
Wow! All that hard work this year trying new waters, all that walking, fishing through the bad weathered days and those blisters that dedication finally paid off! What a beautiful giant! Well done bro what an epic video with a epic brown!!
Wow, what a fish, so sick, thanks for sharing it! I look forward to your content every week and it never disappoints. My absolute favorite you tube channel!
Of all the fly fishing video’s i have seen those are the best ever ,,,,, super cool 👍👍👍👍grt from Holland Ps... i have to travel 1300 km to Slovenië for Marbel trout.
Ohh Alex, what a great trip. I was lucky enough to do South Island NZ once, and I still remember how tough the boulder hopping and the sand flies made it. But the scenery and the water and the missed fish(!) made it all worth while. Great videos, thank you. (Hope the feet have recovered).
Showed that vid to the old man. His comments: "The dedication and skill is incredible. And the size of the fish in such apparently unpromising water! Shangri-la"
Hope feet are feeling better. The trout were massive and the last one probably the biggest I’ve watched you catch. Great video. I got out to two different streams in eastern PA but zero trout. Lots of pressure with many people fishing. Oh well. Look forward to the next one.
Holy shit... Unreal trip! Thank you so much for letting us follow along. You definitely earned your way into those massive browns. Hope those feet are back up to tip top shape. mind blowing
Every video I wonder how you are going to better them ,and every time you do! Unreal fishing dude, you make it look so easy... Fish live in some stunning places.
Best place in the world to do it, we are incredibly lucky. Wouldn't want it to be easy though, the constant challenge is the biggest pull to the sport.
