👋Thanks for watching!

I’m your opinion what do you think it would take for these fishermen to regain control of his industry in a proper way?? Maybe more interviews, education about this subject, as you are doing for all the other topics you share on this channel?? Seems like it would be better for our world if this could happen, love to hear your thoughts from being up close and personal. I have no knowledge or expertise with this industry. My heart goes out to the fisherman that are hanging in there😃👍🏼❤️
May safety be with them and I pray that the fishermen would be able to come together for the betterment of this industry 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wait till the Chinese fishing boats come and destroy the salmon run altogether?
PETER,.. that’s a BIG, YES PLEASE to a PODCAST!! I would watch the shit outta that if you do that down the line. YES YES 👍🏻 YES!
Joined the community. Tks Peter
Yeah, salt-of-the-earth kinda guy. No big attitude or pretension or ax to grind, good heart, kind personality, very knowledgable. You find the right guy to interview and share information.
As Alaskan fisherman myself, you could not have talked to a better representative of our industry than this gentleman. Plus it was great to see good ol’Cordova again, boy I had some wild seasons there back in my youth. Great job Peter keep’em coming!
Ya he seems super cool what a nice fella he seems so grateful for anything he has god be less him cheers 🍻 friend
Where is the best place for me to move to Alaska, to start building tiny aluminum boats, as featured in this video? I think our boats will start at about $500k+... Where do you recommend I move our operations to? Anchorage? I'm dead serious.
@@garrettstevensen2467 those are not tiny boats then. Wish you the best with your search
I’m so happy to read this when I still need to start watching the video 😊😇 and share your stories! I love hearing about the Alaska lifestyle and stories you must have!
Thank-You for everything you do. I don't know about anyone else, but I appreciate you.
This fisherman seems like someone we are all lucky to have heard from. I'm really glad this channel exists.
what an amazing man
what an absolutely solid soul
Yes he is a great catch 🐟🐠🐟
Ha! You came to my town! Kory is awesome. He is a wonderful example of the savvy it takes to be in the fishing industry as a business and survive financially and literally. We have high mortality here. People die. These fishermen respect science , they respect nature. They have a very sophisticated understanding of fisheries and politics. This is how farming should have developed to sustainability. This remains a healthy food source. . . So far. Native integrity is strong here. I am against the road expansion and deep water port construction because I believe in the value of remote areas and protecting androgenous streams. Kory's not telling you how there used to be spawning fish streams EVERYWHERE, and due to bad city management the city blocked these streams and filled them which puts people over fish, because some people don't like having rotting fish right in town. So the city workers were directed to do away with these streams without consulting the community and without permitting. Get connected to you good, Peter
@@akmediascope 🐎 💩 I used to live in Cordova. What fish streams (or any stream) ever flowed through town? Rotting fish right in town? 🐎💩
Being 82 years old this is one of the best outdoor films I have seen. And I love the knowledge and honesty of this fisherman and his love of Alaska.
Man i hope you watch the Outdoor Boys as well because youd love that sir
This man lives a simple life but you can tell he loves every second of it.
Doesn’t seem very simple to me.
Should start rowing
@@bs1820 I agree
Who wouldn't... his life looks amazing
Doesn't have much to worry about but because he doesn't know any better. Dude grew up in a shack in the woods by what it sounds like, by himself. A life built upon fear of the unknown. But would be a hell of retirement tell ya what.
I cant stress how much I respect the fisherman.
Kind
Funny
Humble
Strong
Cool
Interesting
Hard working
Every child needs a father, grandfather, uncle or friend like this.
Coming form a city boy in England Uk.
Yep. All that.
We’ll said mate, same here!
Fantastic to see.
This guy was so endearing and really cares about his town, the people and the land/water. Plus the scenery! It was great to meet someone like that through the channel. Just a wholesome dude.
This one touches my heart.
I grew up in Metlakatla and Sitka Alaska in 70s and 80s.
I live in Montana now and just lost my dad .
I wear his "halibut jacket" when it's cold.
I stay in touch with friends from the islands.
Good people. A lot has changed. This fellow is so right.
Stationed at the Air Station in Sitka two times. Both of my daughters born there. Good town
Never heard of Fish Leather, If thats the proper term, But they have to have some protection from freezing .
As a Montanan, we may be landlocked, but we have our fish here, we have hunting here, and we can sustain ourselves. For now at least. Seems like a lot of the hunting is going to out of staters and locals like us have to fight to keep the game we’ve had for hundreds of years. Fishing has been restricted, and so has hunting. It’s become less of a competition between us and the animals, and more of a competition between us and out of staters. The hunting has taken a toll, and so has the foraging. Every year we get more people coming to find huckleberries, but they destroy the berry bushes to the point that we don’t have berries left in the more commonly known areas.
Follow the money. Corruption finds a way into the mix.
I was born and raised in Ketchikan. My dad was a mission pastor on Annette Island when the Coast Guard base was there before it moved to Sitka. I spent many a night at the base and in Metlakatla.
It shows how corrupt everything is. He has so much knowledge and wisdom. He loves fishing. Also Wayne looks awesome,, you would never know his age. It's ashame the fisherman can't band together and demand a price. United we stand - divided we fall🌻🌻
I was shocked he was 78! Sorry, with it, in shape. Not rotting away Infront of the tube like so many american seniors. Good on him.
Americans are brainwashed with this rugged individual myth, which is taken advantage of by corporations.
United We Bargain!
Divided We Beg!!!
Every chance the interviewer led this man to gossip or say something negative, the man flipped it and spoke decently and respectful on the subject. A true class act, this man is. The world needs more people with this kind of humble , uplifting attitude
This gentleman is such an amazing guy. The vibe he gives off is so positive and relaxing. He would be the person to organize all the fisherman to get the best price from the canneries. I'm new to your channel and so enjoy it .
Was thinking the same thing he’s seems super nice I wish the world had more like him cheers 🍻
Dude is drunk.
@@SocketSilver How the hell would you know?
@@SocketSilver 100% he is NOT drunk. He's entirely sober. The entire time. I'm literally an Alaskan Native fisherman from the Aleutian Islands, I know when somebody is drunk. 80% of my island is shit-faced nearly 24/7 despite alcohol costing +300-600% in price.
This is literally just a wonderful, White, Alaskan man who is born and raised Alaskan and a sailor, fisherman, husband, father.
Drunk? You're drunk.
@@SocketSilver Go to the Timestamp 30:42 and realize that you are just an ignorant person.
This man had the same experience many Alaskan citizens/Natives experience. An entire childhood filled with losing your parents to drinking/alcoholism. He ain't drinking.
This guy is awesome. I really like the way he talked about getting together to get the best price. I also liked how he said he would never stop fishing unless it was the right thing to do for conservation related purposes. He seems super humble and forward thinking.
Yeah he's a millionaire and the way he fishes destroys the environment. Way to make assumptions.
I can't get over the beauty of the area. I found myself listening to the conversation, but then sorta zoning out and just admiring the location. Everything is so vibrant, so green. I could almost smell the fresh, cold air as Peter and Kory were talking. So beautiful!
I really enjoy your videos Peter, I fished in Cordova from 1983 to 2012, married a Cordova girl and love that town. You couldn’t have chosen a nicer guy to feature!
😍😍
Alaska really has to be one of the most fascinating places on Earth. This was an amazing series, thank you Peter.
Maybe America owes Russia a thank you for selling us Alaska for $7 million dollars or 2 cents an acre for the 600,000 sq miles... Thanks ruskies. ; ))
@@deepcoder1845 Russia literally hates Alaska and Alaskan Natives.
@@deepcoder1845Cordova name comes from Córdoba in Spain so
to think russia sold it for pennys an acre ,, ouch lol
@@deepcoder1845 didnt see your comment ,,...exacly tho lol
Kory is a fascinating, honest, hardworking man. I feel privileged to hear his family's story and some of his deep insights into his work, nature, politics, and corporate exploitation. His independence and entrepreneurialism are admirable. Thank you again, Peter, for another fascinating journey into new territory for many of us. God bless you.
My father fished all his life and died at 80. The stress of fishing lead to alcoholism that killed him. He worked himself to death so I could earn a science degree from a top university and not suffer the rigors of commercial fishing. Ty for the honest depiction of the fishing industry.
❤bless your Dad, and you too
If he made it to 80 drinking, that's an iron liver. Good for your dad!!
This Alaskan series is a killer. I enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks Peter of this marvelous rollercoaster ride.
What the hell are you talking about?
So many vids on UA-cam nowadays that just show someone "hey look what we took from Alaska, you can come take too" This was a genuinely respectful video, and the captain sounds like a good man. Keep up the great work.
I could have absorbed another couple hours of this guy. Great work.
Great piece of journalism. You have a wonderful way of talking to people.
I am so grateful for these educational videos you bring us Peter. It gives me a respect for what truly goes into the source of our food I wouldn't be aware of otherwise. I believe it's so important to learn these things and is incredibly interesting as well. You always make sure to have some gorgeous scenery along the way! Keep the awesome stories coming!
Old school racism. 30 feet salmon became MONEY. Natives food lost. Let’s not lie.
What a great man Kory is. Thank you for bringing his story, Peter! 👏👏
My son, John Oaster is currently on "The Rejoice" fishing salmon out of Cordova His captains name is Christian. John tells me the exact things that the gentleman on this video says, his love of nature, peace and the beauty of this place. God bless and keep safe all the fishermen.
Not since Anthony Bourdain have I found a suitable channel that compares. Others have tried but your channel I feel Carries on the legacy of capturing narratives that are normally so propagandized that the truth has a hard time getting out. A beautiful mix of culture, storytelling, and food. Keep up the good work.
Great comparison to Bourdain.
Another great video Peter. I got to admit, when this Alaska series started i wasn't sure how...entertaining or interesting it was going to be. I was completely ignorant about what its like to live in Alaska. But this has been on of the best series to date. You've met some really great people along the way. The type of people I'd like to shake hands and break bread with. Great job.
I agree
As a Native Alaskan, living in Alaska; Remote, secluded, alone, tight-knit communities, cultural appreciation, and boy... it is just so freaking beautiful/majestic.
Read James Michener's "Alaska". Your library may be able to find a copy.
I've been fascinated by the place since reading that book.
Yes this place looks awesome place to live. But you also have 6 months at least of Frozen Land and Water . With no Sunlight , or just a couple hours of dusk.
I spent a few summers in Alaska in my younger years. Oddly just a small part of my life but consumes alot of my thoughts and memories
Beautifully spoken. Hope you’re doing great same. May the rest of your life he filled with love and joy and happiness and good health
Same. Maybe all the nature? That is what stays with me.
Hi Peter, I’m a BC, Canada sport fisherman. I just stumbled onto this and I wanted to say thank you for making this video. Your choice of fisherman, your innocence and curiosity in asking questions and the honour and respect that you have shown was humbling. Our fishing industry in Canada suffers the same problems as Alaska, which we share borders with. In general, most of the sport fisherman I have met, like hunters, are respectful of the resource and the natural world they love. Your video with Kory captures that. Thank you.
Give me a break, sportfisherman are a tremendous detriment!
It’s such a beautiful and inspiring thing to be able to watch and listen to someone speak about what they love and have so much experience with.
First time I’ve visited AK in 2019 as a student. After I was lucky to get there multiple times again and again. Now, as a Ukrainian, waiting for the war to be finished and to take my son for a trip there - to show him this amazing land!
You always seem to find the best people to interview! It doesn’t hurt that your interview style really brings out a lot in the people you interview. I appreciate that you mostly let the other person lead the conversation. A lot of interviewers seem to have an objective, whereas you always seem so subjective. Wish I knew about you earlier!
I lived in Chile, S.A. For three years. Chile has a huge salmon farm industry. These are the floating pen types in the Southern Pacific off the Lake Region in the south. They are terrible polluters and an environmental disaster. In addition, the packers and canners treat their impoverished employees horribly.
Back in the U.S., I saw a package of Wild Atlantic Salmon….Product of Chile!
Chile doesn’t touch the Atlantic!!!
Great story, great guys, great lifestyle! Thank you to all!
Alaska is very beautiful ❤️. Watching from Peshawar Pakistan. I love fish hunting to. And that fisherman is said is very true. Life is changing.
I worked for Trident Seafoods Cordova during the summer of 2017. Had a great time working with an awesome crew loading fresh fish into the blast freezers with people from all over.
For a gentleman who grew up in a cabin without electricity or running water he is very intelligent and articulate.
watching him be able to navigate based on the land around him at the 24 minute mark is the true water navigational ability of a captain.
In a world full of disarray, a country divided, I find your series of videos to be a great escape from the headache we call life.
Keep doing what you do, and be safe.
Two gentlemen! My hat off to you, Kory. And thank you, Peter.
Just keeps getting better and better Peter. Really enjoyed this segment on Alaska. Peter you rock dude!!
Really amazing to hear about this mans livelyhood and how challenging some of the struggles are up there for fisherman.
Much respect to the people of Alaska,who know fishing and hunting for what it really is.Great videos with great people!
It's such a cool thing that you do, many of these peoples stories wouldn't be brought to light if it weren't for you. You have remarkable production skills.
Awesome video! My GF (Former Cordova resident) and I just watched this video together. She pulled out a leather fish purse and showed it to me - so cool! She new all those areas and was able to tell me about the "old days" of how fishing used to be. Kory is a great representative of this town. We all hope that generation can pass-down their knowledge and appreciation to the next. The younger generation of kids these days don't remember or have any interest in where their food comes from. Thank you for your interviewing and videos! P.S. BIG OIL really damaged that town!
I was a national park ranger and now retired,the kids in north California care more than my generation
My dad sued Exxon
Peter is now my PBS tv how it use to be, best of the best meaningful tv 📺. Thanks Peter.
I've worked with Kory,. Great guy and one hell of a fisherman!
Visited Cordova in 1974 and Seward. Visited Kodiak and watched a vessel offloading king crab. The crabs then were 7 feet across. Halibut caught in the early 70's were 500 lbs. When the herring population were destroyed by the oil spill, an entire chain of food source was eliminated from many species of fish, mammals and birds. Herring was a subsistence food for native Alaskans, as well as shipped all over the U.S. Have nothing but admiration for Mr. Blake who remembers the history of this beautiful land.
Alaska’s fishing industry is so fascinating in a lot of ways. What’s interesting about this is that we all receive information that can educate us further on the ways of living of various places. Overall, I find this genuinely unique. Keep up the good work as always.
Thank you so much for what you do Peter, your work inspire so many people!
I enjoy his videos not for the purpose of making them. Peter takes us to a different part of the globe that's unknown, including talking to the residents of that region and educating us. Peter, thank you again for taking your viewers on a journey. I personally am interested in all your videos!! I'd like to show my appreciation by supporting what you love.
As someone who has lived in Alaska for over 30 years, I'm really enjoying you visiting places in my home state that I'll never get to visit because they aren't on the road system and I can't justify the cost to go there just to satisfy my curiosity.
I lived in Cordova when I was 8 with my parents and grandparents. We always went to the dock to look at the boats and see the fish. If Kory lives in town, I’m sure my grandparents know him- because they lived there much longer than we did before moving to Anchorage (which I lived for 9 years) I wish I were older when I lived in Cordova because I didn’t quite appreciate the uniqueness of the town. I remember the unique Back Door Store, and the Killer Whale cafe. And every year, they have an Ice Worm parade.
I miss Alaska a lot. It will always have a piece of my heart❤️
I used to spend summers at my dad’s house in Cordova growing up. I remember the Back Door Store and the Front Door Store.
You know him and his wife are healthy as horses. Lots of fish, deer and moose as main diet. Can't get any better than that.
This series has definitely been an eye opener for me! I've always been curious about Alaska and its people! I know I certainly want to visit there one day! ❤️
This guy is great representation of Alaskan fisherman. He shares his knowledge but knot in a “know at all, better than you” type of way
This is the epitome of an Alaskan Fisherman, hard workers and down to earth people.
I live in Alaska and love your content! This fisherman you tagged along with is a TRUE Alaskan. And I love Copper River Salmon....
May not get rich with money - but that lifestyle seems *so* much more relaxing and fulfilling than what I've been doing (grinding my life away in a big city)...
Filipino here. It's nice to hear Filipinos have a good relationship there in Alaska
I grew up in Anchorage, Ak and back in 1961 the main street wasn't paved. I haven't met too many people who were in the 1964 Earthquake. This man really knows Alaska and the fishing business. Sorry to hear that the fishermen are not really making a good living wage anymore. Some of my favorite memories are watching the Salmon running in all the big creeks and rivers. This guy is a true Alaskan..love it! I totally understand how he feels about the "good old days" in Alaska. I feel lucky to have grown up there in the 60s and 70's. We had a great time . As kids we walked everywhere, rode our bikes, had little jobs that made us money, went skiing every weekend, went to dances, and knew all our neighbors. Thanks for this video. I really enjoyed your conversation with this man.
Regardless of the urbanites believe about country/rural folks, many are educated on survival. If our grid ever went down from an EMP attack, the very people who are mocked would be the ones to survive while those in mega cities would die first. Growing up my county had the largest Amish population in America (still is and it's growing!). Yes, they have flaws but I admire their self-sufficient attitude that they can take care of themselves and their own without government intervention.
Emp attack. Lmao
I don't know how you feel Pete, I myself missed Savoonga a lot already. Yupik people, the place they live, and everything about St.Lawrence island. I've lost count of how many times I watched all the video clips about St.Lawrence island, again and again so many times. 😊
Take care, Pete!
Thanks again for sharing all these wonderful video clips.
Cheers! 👍
Thanks Chaz! Yeah it was a special/surreal experience I'll never forget.
It's not just a job it's an adventure!
This fisherwoman remembers Cordova in the late 70s and early 80s we gill netted and seined Miss the areas lot
Thank you for the ride along again .we live in the uk .but my daughter-in-law is from Oklahoma and is native Choctaw Indian. You have shown me so much about this country that is beautiful .one day we hope to see the in-laws but travailing along with you is much more enjoyable . Thank you again for your time and effort ……
Peter, as a 50 year old son of a Native Alaskan mom who has not been to visit Alaska since I was very young I really enjoyed this serious immensely. Thank you so much for going and sharing the people and the beauty. Much gratitude.
Hard working Americans. A legacy and lifestyle we all should cherish. Great story and commentary.
These guys are the farmers of the sea. Mad respect for commercial fishermen!
You don’t understand how appreciative I am for you to explore my home state!! So many lifestyles and each region of Alaska is so diverse. Now you just have to try Akutaq (Eskimo ice cream), each house hold makes it differently, fry bread/ or Indian tacos and go to the Cama-I festival in bethel Alaska!!
What a terrific guy, the kind every community needs.
May I also mention the fact that the gentleman interviewed looks amazing. Fishing for 52 years and I am not quite sure that I would have even guessed him to be 52 years old. An incredible interview. Thank you.
You couldn't have found a better guy to show you around. One great genuine individual there! Peter one of your best videos!
I have been following your adventures through Montana, Alaska and what I find interesting is the money is being made on the other side of processing not on the side of the HARD working rancher , fishermen and the labor . The wages are terrible, Pete thank you for your enlightening videos
Love Cordova ! My parents lived there in the 90s
I'm the daughter of an Alaskan fisherman, but I live in Japan now, and only manage to get home once every two years or so. This video made me wildly homesick. Beautiful work!
My favorite video so far.
I learned so much from this. Would absolutely love spending a week fishing with this Great American.
Well done!
What a beautiful part of the world. So lucky to live in such an amazing place
Peter you are the best out here doing this. Thanks for all the entertainment you provide us all. Much love bro
Peter thank you for showing us Americans in America. The struggles are real . You are doing great things . Keep it up !
Loving this series , thanks for the great content Peter. All the best
Love this series! Great filming and that your giving all these different people a voice
Only half way in and this is a good one. I love people who live such amazingly adventurous lives and they have no idea. Humble. They are the best storytellers because they have the best stories to tell. He reminds me of a lot of my southern family. 12 people my Senior year. Lol
He’s seems like a real genuine dude & knows his stuff! Knows the history & background of the fishery. Excellent choice on picking him.
As always great work Peter 🤙🏼 have a happy Sunday!!
Peter Thank You for sharing. This was very educational.
Really nice episode. You showed ground level reality of local fishermen. This place is so beautiful and your host was really nice..
i love how he said i get to have my cup a coffee with God.
Great job of introducing us to the locals. This is an example of why you have the amount of subscribers you do. Great work, you are gifted with a special talent
Amazing place and hospitable people. I had worked in Cordova for 2 summer holidays. Thanks Peter for your video, it brought me back to this incredible land again.
I like your guest. He is straight forward Very informative, no sugar coating, just straight talk.
You could tell this guy loves his life
I love all of your videos! It would be so interesting to do a series in the Appalachian mountains and discover the culture of Applachia and the changes, opioid abuse, and other hardships there, etc.
If only more folks in this world had the positive and work ethic that he has. Loved this video!! 🙂
Then, what? Big corporations could make more money?
Peter, in this vid you made a brief reference/comparison to ranching and what this man and his family have been doing for generations. That was a simple, yet profound leap in connecting the struggles of relatively small family operations that have and continue to provide us with quality food sources because they love what they do...whether they produce beef or fish...and regardless of the economic, cultural, political or climate setbacks they are faced with. As far as people being disconnected from the food they eat, you are doing a brilliant job of educating us on how much hard work, sacrifice and pride goes into putting good food on our dinner plates. Bravo!
Oh my word, so the fishing industry is like the beef industry? From our ranch to his boat, we wish him better. Great video.
Excellent! I've learned more about the fishing industry in 43 minutes then 40 plus years of recreational fishing. Did some fishing on a charter in Seward for the first time. Fish and Game boarded the boat, after landing, and inspected the fish caught log and fishing license verification. I understand this is happening regularly. Find it interesting there is always some contention between recreational fishing interests and commercial, created by lobbyist, I'm sure.
Thank you for everything that you are doing to want to help others.
Pete i just want to thank you for making and sharing your videos.. I miss Alaska so much.. In 2015 i had doctor's orders to leave and move away and never go back to Alaska cause of the cokd weather was affecting my health and heart...
We live in Juneau and there is nothing like freshly caught salmon in Alaska. Truly unique and have absolute respect for the fisherman.
This guy you're talking to is great. I could listen to his stories for hours. Fascinating how the industry has changed, and with that, changed their way of life. I really enjoyed this vid!
Bardzo ciekawa historia i piękne krajobrazy.
Bardzo!
Bardzo!
What a great guy! My favorite salmon is from the Copper River, but it is expensive (so worth it!).
Very wise and knowledgeable fisher with a great personality. Cheers 🇨🇦
thank you for doing this an making what you saw an where you went an also who you met here look this way becasue this is how it is an how its always been, the food you get has to come from somewheres. the good stuff comes from here, hand caught by these people. thank you
