  • We spent the day on the middle Kenai fishing for reds with family. Lots of fish hooking action.

    Great video. I just moved up here and super excited to head out to the Kenai this weekend. What type of net was that? Noticed it has a bat in the handle. Enjoy watching your videos

      Welcome to Alaska! Yeah the net/bat combo is pretty cool. I saw them at the Alaska Sportsman’s Show earlier this year and picked one up. handybonk.com

    I visited my bro in Soldotna and spent 3 weeks in August and limited out every single day. Good thing the Red run was weeks behind schedule.

      Yeah, typically the last 2 weeks of July are the sweet spot for the 2nd run reds. The late arrival really messed with my trout fishing, which I like to fish for more than salmon.

    I met John this summer, he is camped across from Tim and Pam. Fishing was good this year!

      John is my wife's uncle. We are camped just down from them. We are good friends with Tim and Pam as well.

      I have known Tim and Pam for over 30 years and fish with them every year. Maybe we can meet you next year when we come up! Met John sitting around the camp fire with Tim, Pam (family), and Rod when we stopped by to look at the cabins Rod built@@AlaskaLivingToday

    what weight rod are you using? 12wt? It looks like a broomstick.

    • @AlaskaLivingToday

      It’s an UglyStick 9/10 weight. A cheap rod so I don’t care when the weights chip it up or when it breaks on a fish eventually.

      ah, it's glass then. No wonder it's thick. I was looking at it on the first fish around a minute and it looks like it's mid way between the size of a nickel and quarter.

    you are on the wrong side of the river.........easier to fish the other side........and ALWAYS have eye protection.....hooks and sinkers HURT!!!!!

      Wrong side of the river, that’s a good one.

    This is the worst example of fishing…. It’s poaching

      @@stiofain4693 these fish don't go for bait or lures... doesn't make it poaching.
