Another beautiful video Alex! Thanks for the content, as always. I really liked the “care package” of cold beer and crisps from the heli company! What a cracking gesture. Cheers to you and J.P. For this one.
Always blown away by these kinda trips. Living somewhere as densely populated as the UK gives vids like this a sort of magical quality. Logistics, time, effort mentally and physically, can see why you made a point awhile back about keeping fit for back country trips. Off the charts fella! 👍💥
Awesome fish and great teamwork between you guys. Cinematic masterpiece. If I may offer constructive feedback, every take here is done with music dubbed in. To be fair maybe this is what the masses want but I sure enjoy the chaos in the moment, raw. I’d say a happy medium could be found? But again maybe I’m an outlier.
Awesome as always, but remember you are lucky to be young and able to cover that kind of ground. And by the way us older folks really appreciate your efforts. Crack on. Cheers from New England.
Nice job, again. When I come back htat area might make the short list. Our heli trip was to a nice river, but not as lush and forested as that one. Damn, big browns know all the tricks to get themselves free.
Tough going indeed.appreciate the effort from ye guys to deliver all the slow mo footage of the eats after such a hike.trout looked immaculate..lovely green sheen on the sides of some of them brownies
Crazy how many your mate lost yet you both kept an amazing attitude and did your best! Life lessons everywhere in this series. Keep going never quit and usually some great things will happen! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Once again much coolness Alex. The slow motion surface chomps are next level. Put in the mahi and get the treats. Thanks so much for sharing and have a great Christmas!
Epic wish I could get to NZ but it's a pipe dream. Iceland and Slovenia is the nearest we get to that sort of fishing. Keep them coming. All the best from UK.
Hello Alex… Just started watching your videos and finished watching this trip of a life time. Living in Alberta,Canada and it’s -30c outside as we speak, these videos warms the soul! Great looking Browns with spectacular water and great videoing, well done my friend… I’m now hooked as fan and will continue following you. 👊
Another great video. Some amazing fishing back in there. I can appreciate the effort that goes into fishing those back country rivers. Have done a few of those myself. Big days and hard on the body….but great rewards for your efforts. Memories for the ages.
Finally got to sit down and watch the final installment; wow, seriously that was an epic trip! Boy you guys put in the hard yards for those fish, such great footage of the fish and eats, superb scenery and the filming is next level, awesome Alex!! 🤙🤙
Awesome series Alex, what a beautiful area! Must be a truly awesome feeling to be able to go where basically no one else can go 🤩 Also great shots, both with the drone and your camera-work, takes the videos to that next level.
Loved the entire trip fellas. Gorgeous water and beautiful fish!! I wish we had big wild trout like that here in the mountains of North Georgia. Thanks again for all the hard work and amazing videos that you give us. Y’all are the best!!
Maate, what an adventurous fishin' 'buzz'..as it is.. every new ground we cover, hunting or 🎣..we do this 🙏 before an after..in respect to nature itself.. protection n safety the ultimate ✌️. enjoyed your 🎣 vids , da footage, scenery, editing ..all round ma bro 👍..❤️ it 🦾..win or loose taraute..dats fishin' fer ya..deer stalking da same .. kaapai presente "Al" yourself n buddy done well.. Ataahua hoki e hoa ✌️🐟🎣👍 awesome 🤙✌️Kia Ora 👍
Just one of these days mate been there got the tee shirt But the fish you you both had were belters hard treck though how the hell do you find these places just fantastic keep them comming bro.👍
I'll watch this multiple times over Xmas, both of you put in and what a reward, the fishing and fish are amazing. Production top notch too! My brother and I will find water like this and try to capture a moment or three. Etched in my mind is that trout around 8 minutes. Its take, the jump and you in the background beautifully balanced, absolutely finessing the rod with no sharp movements. Its skill and harmony with nature. Slow motion just enhances this perfectly. Congrats and enjoy xmas and new year.
I love the one eyebrow look. Nothing better than being exhausted by doing what you love! Cheers. PS. When are you coming up to Alaska to catch some monsters and dodge some bears?
Quality stuff this triology. Video as well as fish. The one you lost on minute 18 seemed trophy size. No control whatsoever.. A long way to Tipperary though ;-)
Hi Alex, thanks for a great video of your trip, hard going in places but huge rewards. I don’t think that people outside NZ realise how in our summer it can get so cold in the deep valleys and conversely how strong the sun’s rays can get and damage your skin if you are not covered properly. Thanks again for all your attention to detail that makes watching your videos so interesting. Cheers mate. Harera
A truly epic adventure, thanks for taking us along! Loved every minute. Just one thing: did I miss the part when you explained why the chopper could not take you up past the gorges? Too closed for a landing?
So much to love about your Vid's. Your attitude, respectful treatment of the fish with their survival paramount. Those fish are beautiful, stunning and well worth the effort put in with your tramping! Those monsters at 18:min & 19 min were epic, sorry for your losses! But your buddy takes them better 🙃 And the building of anticipation for my first trip to NZ is rekindled at each and every one of your video's! I had to cancel my February trip due to isolation requirements (don't want to sit in a hotel for a week watching TV). But I've rescheduled to November 2022. I shall have to make do with Vic & NSW high country until then; oh well it means more casting practice! Peace, Merry Christmas & keep up the great work 👍 P.S. What drone do you work with? I just bought the DJI Air 2S for my trip and love it!
Boy have I missed these video's. Alex I have been so so busy I have not had much time. But I jumped straight into this one. What a treat, Brilliant as always. Did watch in two parts. But with a bit of time off now, I will do a bit of back tracking and watch what I have missed. Take care mate. And merry Xmas to you. Shaun. UK.

Woo ‘‘twas an awesome epic series with some stunning fish
Nothing better than a surprise chips & beers when you get back to camp. And cold beers are a bonus. Great series my friend.
Maybe a strip set would help your friend keep more fish on his line?
Extraordinary footage as always. Wow!
Another beautiful video Alex! Thanks for the content, as always. I really liked the “care package” of cold beer and crisps from the heli company! What a cracking gesture. Cheers to you and J.P. For this one.

"I fought the trout, and the trout won." 😂 The fish beat you this trip, but what an amazing place!
Your humor is nearly as good as the fish you were catching! Loved the trip, book me on the next one....
All the best
This the coolest trip you’ve shown. Best footage ever. New zealand Oscar!short film award somewhere?
Nice one guys!

Another great video Alex. Some great fishing back in there. Will certainly give some thought to using Karamea Heli for a trip.

What a cool video as usual. Those dry fly eats were awesome

Good on ya Bidds hopefully you and your Bro will do a similar trip.
@@XXMDQ-o9y Nice one bro. We have already had quite a number of these moments. Much more to do yet...
Love these videos. Thanks bro. Do you take a spare rod incase your have a breakage?
I love the one eyebrow look. Nothing better than being exhausted by doing what you love! Cheers. PS. When are you coming up to Alaska to catch some monsters and dodge some bears?
Quality stuff this triology. Video as well as fish. The one you lost on minute 18 seemed trophy size. No control whatsoever.. A long way to Tipperary though ;-)
Another Rolex 👍
Doesn't get any better at the end of any tough hike
Simply awesome! How tired were you guys! Dumb question apologies. How do you keep your camera kits charged on a 6 day mission?
Thanks guys. Merry Christmas
Hi Alex, thanks for a great video of your trip, hard going in places but huge rewards. I don’t think that people outside NZ realise how in our summer it can get so cold in the deep valleys and conversely how strong the sun’s rays can get and damage your skin if you are not covered properly. Thanks again for all your attention to detail that makes watching your videos so interesting. Cheers mate. Harera
Love the videos! Question.. aren’t gloves bad when handling fish? I thought it took their slime layer off?
Nice
Great vid... love your gear,... what are the gloves your wearing..thank you
How many power banks do you run to keep everything charged on these trips bro? Also… at 27min that made my plums tingle 😍
Great series. Thoroughly enjoyed this. I’d love to know how your wading boots fared after this trip. Any issues with blisters?
A truly epic adventure, thanks for taking us along! Loved every minute. Just one thing: did I miss the part when you explained why the chopper could not take you up past the gorges? Too closed for a landing?
wilderness zoned so no landings allowed... Shanks pony if you want to get in there!
Any interesting wild life encounters?
Nice video buddy!
So much to love about your Vid's. Your attitude, respectful treatment of the fish with their survival paramount. Those fish are beautiful, stunning and well worth the effort put in with your tramping! Those monsters at 18:min & 19 min were epic, sorry for your losses!

But with a bit of time off now, I will do a bit of back tracking and watch what I have missed. Take care mate. And merry Xmas to you. Shaun. UK.
Alex, what kind of bladder filtration are you using?
That’s from Bushbuck. It’s really good!
