    An epic fishing and cinephotographic result!!
    No catching eels?
    In my early days (60's) smoked eel was a delicacy, not now?
    Ps, Milan needs a fly rod, his touch on the rod requires a fly rig.

    • @TheLateralLine

      Haven’t eaten eel since I was young. Not sure about the delicacy bit? I’m sure some people might consider it that I have only had it a couple times and can’t remember what it tastes like? It’s was really cool to see a few eels again 😁 we appreciate the comment 👍

Now you've got us interested in the hunting channel... as a side question we always enjoy the food aspect- does Milan back off the carbohydrates (spuds etc) later in the day?

      Milan’s dream home is his life savings/his life worth of working, he put everything he had into that house and a mortgage. The Lateral line made no contribution to his house.
      Our custom boat sojourn was built for us at no cost to us yes. The Deal was we made videos about it and then made fishing videos for at least 2 years. It got to the point where we had to sell it to keep the lateral line going. Hamish’s boat is his boat, Luke’s boat is his boat. There boats are there deals and they are both just happy to be a part of the lateral line and have the brand on there boat and we going fishing with them when we can.
      The dream is to make a good living from the lateral line and not have to do any other work 😎😁👍
