In 10 days I will be 74 y ears old , I am pretty broken and worn out (not in the best shape loots of medical problems and surgery's over the years. The one thing that I always wanted to do was go to Alaska to fish. While I could never make it there watching that movie had me feeling like I was there. This was the most wonderful movie I have seen on fishing in Alaska. God Bless you guys, all of you for taking me with you on such a wonderful trip. It was amazing. Keep it going and I will be with you on all of your adventures! God Bless!
Amazing words and happy 74th man. I hope your years have been filled with amazing fish stories and that you aren't in too bad of shape to still get a few more in. Tight lines!
Maybe you're not the type of guy to do so sir but you could start a go fund me and share your story. A college kid held up a sign a couple years* ago on TV with his pay pal saying he needs beer money and got sent a million dollars from people all over!
It was truly a pleasure working with you and Josh. It’s incredible how such an amazing video came together in the short time you were here. On behalf of all our guides, I can confidently say it was a treat having you both with us, and we’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to go fishing with you.
I’m pretty sure I’ve watched every one of Jays videos that’s available on RUclips. We watch them as a family and absolutely love his work. This video was an absolutely amazing and truly captured the fishing trip of a lifetime that it was. Incredible work Jay!!!! Congratulations!!
It was a pleasure having you guys at Tikchik. That char was the highlight of my season for sure. Hope to fish with you guys again someday - if you’re ever interested in coming to fish the Texas Coast, look me up.
Jay This video is one of the best videos bar far! Was up in Alaska this summer fishing, we had a great time and it is must go to. Thanks for the great content, keep it coming, your talent is very appreciated on what you bring to the channel
Jay, you film and produce the best videos on RUclips (at least of the channels I watch). It’s not just a video, it’s a high quality documentary. Well done. Love your content and hope to some day shake your hand.
Tikchik Narrows Lodge stands out as one of the most exceptional operations in all of Alaska. While words can hardly capture the essence of the experience, collaborating with you and Josh through film brings the reality of the Alaskan experience to life. Yes, Alaska can be costly, but it offers an incredible range of opportunities for anglers eager to immerse themselves in its vast, unparalleled beauty. Even with multiple lifetimes, you’d only begin to uncover the wonders this remarkable place holds. If you’re wondering where to start your Alaskan adventure, we’d love to connect and help guide you along the way. All bookings will directly benefit Jay and future projects.
I need the blue collar package. Hold the wine, filet, pins, and cake and give me a cot in the guide shack and some cans of beans and you wouldn't be able to smack the smile off my face. What an incredible place. Amazing video Jay.
Hi Jay, this is an amazing film! Truly stunning scenery! Top-notch fishing, and even better cinematography. Thank you for taking us along on this adventure!
Jay you never cease to amaze with the content you produce! You have one of the best jobs on the world. I am so envious. Thank you for sharing this with all your fans!
Watching this has well and truly blown my mind! I’m sure you all realise what a once-in-a-lifetime experience that was, but to many of us, like myself, sat here in the UK, such a trip is simply the stuff of dreams. Thank you for such a superb and inspiring film.
Jay. I appreciate your effort that you give to your production and the constant drive for better and better content. No other creator on this app makes a viewer feel as connected or as cared for as you do. You drive my fishing obsession wild. Thank you for your hard work on behalf of all of us
Enjoyed this so much. Bravo. Stop making my Canadian fly-ins feel like a warm up! Shoutout to the DHC-2 Beavers for getting the job done while looking good as always.
That was a cinematic award worthy master piece of a movie!! Just WOW!! Thank you so much for sharing that bucket list trip with us!!! Please keep them coming!!
If you're interested in getting up to Alaska, any trip booking proceeds will go back into supporting Jay and Josh's next Alaskan film trip. It's a vast state with endless opportunities! We would love to connect with you guys!
That initial quote hit me pretty deep. My brother and I just went to Alaska this last summer of 24’ and not a day goes by that I don’t miss it. We are both young and yearning to come back day after day. Thanks for the video Jay!
Unreal video! As a guide, i would never fish the juice before clients on the first day of a trip let alone any day. Got a greasy feeling watching the guide sluice the hole and pop the biggest pumpkin first day.
To the individual who is reading this please quit overthinking everything every day and night . Stop obsessing over your failures. Stop doubting yourself and seeing the greatness in everyone else but you. You are better than that. You deserve more. Start showing up differently to yourself. Believe in yourself. God wont ever hand you something you cant handle. You are a star in this world ❤. may God Bless whoever sees this
WOW!!!!!!! What a. MORNING AND DAY!!! GR E AT TIMES, ant wait to see mindak video..lol!!!!!! MOST FAVORITE of all time just a fan for the last 4seasons...Heckya!!!
This was incredible! Thank you so much for sharing this experience. I have followed you for years and this is by far the best movie you have ever done and is the best fishing movie i have ever seen. My hat is off to you Jay. This trip is now at the top of my bucket list!
honestly one of the best things i've watched in awhile, i instantly got goosebumps remembering my honeymoon in Alaska last year! we want to go back and this place looks like a dream destination!
All I can say is great video. The landscape, the bears, the fish, the colors. Sometimes it is not about the biggest fish or the trophy animal, it is about taking in the whole experience. Great job. Hope to get up there some day.
Seeing the video is one thing-fishing with Jay and Josh is another entirely. From the day we met them in Anchorage to the moment we said our goodbyes, they were an absolute pleasure to spend time with. If Alaska is on your radar, we'd love to chat. Booking proceeds will go directly toward supporting Jay and Josh in creating their next Alaskan adventure.
Wow Jay, what an amazing video and amazing slow motion and underwater shots. Ur videos are among the best out there. Thx for taking us on the journey!!! God Bless pal
I just say WOOW .what an MOVIE.. must be the best i ever seen on YT..i really really hope that fishing and nature will be preseved its absolutley stunning
There are no words to explain how beautiful Alaska is in the summer and fall. Me and my sons have been there many times and have done a few fly in trips to very remote locations. The kind where the plane is brushing its wingtips on tree’s and they drop you off to sleep in tents and cook over a fire for 3 days. Luckily they provided a small aluminum boat and a guide with a 45 and 12 gauge with slugs in it. Anyhow we were pursued by a few large brown bears up and down the inlet that the guide used his gun to chase them away, while we waded in shorts and tennis shoes and caught our limits of cohos. No fish storie
Boys!!! You had me in tears, what a trip! Beautiful scenery, amazing fishing, great people - the stuff dreams are made of! The difference between those doing this from the deep passion for the sport (and friendship/camaraderie that comes with it) over those just jumping on the band wagon of a new fad, is unmistakable. Thank you so much for sharing this and giving me a bit of the experience❣️ Happy New Year - may 2025 bring everyone more amazing feels and big fishes on the reels!!
Just an epic trip!!! No one does it better, Jay...your filmography and editing are amazing, my guy! Cinematic works of art that cause wonder, awe and excitement! ❤
Absolutely amazing Jay! Thanks for taking us all along! Whenever I see the beauty and grandeur of Alaska it makes me think of how amazing heaven will be!
Your best work yet. And best fish. Bass and ‘eyes don’t get that sort of emotional response. Also, Josh is my favourite of your co-anglers. He adds a great element that others just don’t.
As someone on the East coast and on the wrong side of the clock, I'll probably never get to fish Alaska for Arctic Char like my father did. But this epic footage was a vicarious 2nd best, and the beauty repeatedly took my breath away. Thanks for making the effort to really capture it so well, you lucky MF'ers... ;)
Wow !!!! Fantastic Jay and Co . You sir are awesome . You may not always get that fish landed , but by gosh your videography skills are second to none !! Once again I'm sitting in my big office chair , I have the whole seat but only needed the edge !!! Thank you for uploading this one !!!
Wow...that is all i can say ..just wow...an unreal experience... definitely a bucket list trip for me...and apparently now my son as well...5 years old and just loves ur vids...now he wont stop asking when we can go to alaska 😆😆 thanks for the movie jay
The difference between rough necking it in tents and getting catered shore lunches is quite nice. Our AK trips consist of tons of hiking and tents or forest cabins. The luxuries are next level at the lodge level trips
I am all in in making Alaska a part of Canada. If the government of Canada had its plan together in 1867 (confederation) we could have made a better offer to Russia than the US (Alaskan Purchase)and owned one of the biggest oil fields in the world as well as the biggest and prettiest Arctic Char fishery. That being said a great video and a great fishing lodge and guides. What a birthday party for Josh!
Jay I've been a subscriber for a while. Hands down this is the best video you have ever done. In terms of content, videography and production value, well you will have a hard time beating this one. Great job!
I think it's going to be tough for you to top this Vid Jay! I think I've seen most of yours but this one is Special. Looking forward to many more. Happy new Years to You and Yours.👊

Sir look into the Alaskan highway......get in your car and go :)
Im going to be doing the same soon.
We would love to help you accomplish your Alaska fishing dream! bit.ly/4j1lNUT

It was an absolute pleasure! Looking forward to fishing with you guys again!
This video should not be free😂 this feels like a cinematic masterpiece
Absolutely unreal… the footage, the fishing… insane video. By far the best you’ve ever done.
Agreed this video is top notch
They did an amazing job!

@HomeSweetHomeAlaska Thanks you guys! I hope your winter is going well, the cabin looks awesome. Happy new year!
Thanks again for putting us on the fish!!! Hope to fish together again one day! Texas sounds nice 🤟
Jay
This video is one of the best videos bar far!

Thanks for taking us with you on the trip of a lifetime.
These are the videos that make you the best cinematographer in the fishing industry!!! What a watch!

42:56 Josh pulling a taro murata 😩😂
Jay is a master of videography. B roll is always panoramic. What a crew you have. Great fishing every time.
I need the blue collar package. Hold the wine, filet, pins, and cake and give me a cot in the guide shack and some cans of beans and you wouldn't be able to smack the smile off my face. What an incredible place. Amazing video Jay.
Check out papa bear adventures. They do a diy option just west of here
Jay with every video I watch from you, I get inspired more and more. Your level of videography is unmatchable. Thanks for your content tight lines🎣
The cinimatography is outstanding as well as the commentary, great work Jay and crew! The evolution of past videos to current has been outstanding.
Thanks for the kind feedback Mike.
The way your team captured the experience with the unbelievable fishing and the amazing scenery is just so unreal that words cannot do it justice.
It’s incredible how such an amazing video came together in the short time you were here.
Man. I got a bit emotional on this vid. What an amazing trip of a lifetime. A must do!
We would love to have you one day!

This video is wild. The drone shots are some of the best I've ever seen and whoever edited this needs a raise.
Just WILD !!!! Trip of a life time right there !
Dream trip! Amazing visuals.
BEUTIFUL film and incredible storytelling!
I love my homeland it's the best! Glad you got to experience it.
Incredible footage & story telling Jay. A truly enjoyable episode!
Incredible video!!! You have a gift Jay! Tikchik is now a dream destination!
Добрий вечір!
Дякую, що ділитеся моментами з свого життя!😊
That pilot is a legend!
He's been working with us for decades. Steve is a true legend.
He's one of the best in all of Bristol Bay!
Unreal video!
As a guide, i would never fish the juice before clients on the first day of a trip let alone any day. Got a greasy feeling watching the guide sluice the hole and pop the biggest pumpkin first day.
Nobody can capture the beauty and epicness of a place like this like Jay Siemens can.
Agreed!
This dude makes the best fishing films onyoutube and beyond

Absolutely one of the best videos I have even seen on RUclips. Thank you for capturing this so well. That will be a fishing trip dream for me.
That was a cinematic masterpiece 👌 wicked fish, beautiful shots, and the scenery to back it all up. Earned a new sub here!

Great video that captured what looks to have been a hell of a good time! Definitely now on my bucket list.
The production on this was insane!! Keeps getting better and better, Jay. Was awesome meeting you in St. Paul at the ice show too!

Truly the most amazing fishing 🎣 video I've seen 👏 😊
Thanks Shane!!!

Cheers to wet lenses, cool pins and better memories!!! ❤✌️👍
Alaska for NYE I love it! Thanks Jay and Josh for the show!
I loved seeing all of the underwater shots at the mouth of that creek, the colours are beautiful!!! Awesome Jay!
Jay never disappoints, best videos on the tube.
What a cool adventure!!
🙌
Jay I've been a subscriber for a while. Hands down this is the best video you have ever done. In terms of content, videography and production value, well you will have a hard time beating this one. Great job!
This would be my ultimate dream trip.
Make it happen!
That Char was spectacular...But the "B Roll" Uff Da !!! I would watch a sequel of the clips left on the editing room floor.
They look just like the brook trout we have in Idaho to me.
I think it's going to be tough for you to top this Vid Jay! I think I've seen most of yours but this one is Special. Looking forward to many more. Happy new Years to You and Yours.👊
I agree! Thanks so much for watching!
Unreal fishing and video! Amazing!!
