    I saw you fishing this morning at the mouth of the Lewis River, and you still found time to put out a video. You are a busy man!

    What an incredible experience to share with us! Easy to see why this was a bucket list trip for you. Thanks for bringing us along! Its videos like this that stimulate my brain enough to realize that there is such a large world out there to explore, with lots of unbelievable fish in it. Congrats on knocking another fish off your bucket list. 🍻Saved this for a Sunday viewing before having to go back to work, so worth the short wait.

    I used to work for Foss Maritime as a liaison between Foss, Red Dog Mine (Cominco) and Navios Shipping 60 miles north of the Arctic Circle. Huge Arctic Char were visible in the salt water, and I caught a couple. They were huge, and super hard to catch, at least in salt water.

      They fight more like steelhead. A lot of jumping and drag burning runs

      Mackinaw are members of the char family as well. Fresh from the salt Arctic Char is really tasty. Similar to Brook Trout but firmer and oilier

    • @spiltmilt

      About $6000 barebones with 1/3rd in flights from the USA to Greenland. Would likely be a lot cheaper if you lived on the east coast

    What was the origin of getting Greenland on your bucket list?

    • @spiltmilt
      @spiltmilt  Месяц назад +1

      It was born out of a bucketlist of fish I picked when I had a experience with pneumonia and septicemia that almost killed me several years ago. One of those fish was Arctic Char.

      Bull Trout are a different species from Dolly Varden. There are even searun Bull Trout in the Puget Sound river systems. Bull Trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic Char are all closely related but are distinctly different species with unique characteristics.

      They are not identical. They are very distinct differences in morphometry. They don't hybridize readily.
