    Sam's fight with the big rainbow was like a reenactment of "a river runs through it" with an Asian Brad Pit

I was gonna wait till 3am to go try again for some kings but after watching this vid now i wanna go and brave the crowds and hot sun just to get my fix in 🎣 😂

One of them is to feed you and your crew. I'm good. Really good. Great video. As much as I love the Alaska vlogs. I know that when you get back. We will get the bird vlogs. I love the slow mo kill shots. It's like watching cliff diving. Stay safe and thanks for sharing.
