I am 73 yo this March and I have back trouble, so, walking and hiking is difficult for this old guy. I will not begrudge you for the enjoyment you receive from your efforts. Just thank you for taking me with you to enjoy these beautiful lakes, fish, wildlife, and outdoors. My memories of doing this are still intact and I can feel it all. Even taste the fish remotely. How Wonderful. Peace be with you, my friend. Hike on.

Hey man, if you are actually in Washington there are no mudpuppy’s. It’s really an incredibly rare Cope’s Giant Salamander and only a few adults have been observed in the wild! You should contact the university biology department with this footage! Super cool.

Special stuff, brother. I remember getting up before dawn to get to the fishing site. My grandfather would cook breakfast...completely dark. It was my first taste of coffee...mostly milk and sugar, but hey. We would be the first ones there, and could barely see our bobbers. Still waters... only the birds and mist until the sun started to rise. Your vids take me back there. Thanks!

Its not always about catching the fish, but the beauty of nature, the actions of fishing, the hike, the sounds, the smells, the memories all rolled up into one great adventure. Thanks just love your vids
