[TheColumbianOutdoors]

Great fish, but I catch my 50 lbs fish on an 8 weight fly rod. crazy but well worth it ;)

[dormlife1]

@TheColumbianOutdoors Whats that? A 50lb pacific salmon floating half dead down a river?

[wishen4fishen2]

@dormlife1 Lol..... I hear that bro:D

[TheColumbianOutdoors]

@dormlife1 Then you take it off the hook, put it out of it's tired misery; and feed my family.

[fishingkayaking]

@rn247 all my eyes where on the 50lber but well spotted

[MrVebbis96]

fy flate så fin fisk, Grattis :D Hvilken flue brukte du ? :)

[fishingkayaking]

Great Video & 3 lovely fish . You made it look easy but to choose the right fly & present it at the right place & then play it so coolly takes alot of skill .

When is the best time to fish the Alta ? Your video has inspired me to go

[RandomNewfie247]

@fishingkayaking  he actually has 4

[vampx2k7]

For all you haters out there talking about releasing first of all he is in his rights so its his choice. Second salmon that big only take 4-7 years to get that big so its not like your taking out a one in a million out of a gene pool. Last those fish werent even coloured up! the last one he caught was still chrome it was just throwing its colours on. Why dont you all get out and catch something yourself instead of trolling forums.

[garaa990]

Damn, they look goooooooooood! { : 

[wojtitychy1]

Great Fish!!! Good fight, good job & very good video!!!

Best Regards from Poland!

[Timefliesfishing]

Tenker hjertepumpa slo godt?!

[yperilmelyn]

nice catch, you need all that protien to catch all em in a mornings fishing real fab that, however i would have returned the big one theres to much colour on him, but thats only in my opinion ok, fucking great pics in the boat mind

[meinarts]

I D I O T S !!! S H A M E  ON Y O U "fly fisherman"! I'm very sad that such an ASS HOLES present fly fishing in such a way!!!

[veilands]

@meinarts shut up

[paulmacfishing]

once again you are an inbread  another amazing fish illtreated and killed for a guy who appears to be a great angler your are a d1ck

[SirRogersMaximus]

@paulmacfishing

Firstly, before you hop on the internet and start making fun of others, learn to spell your words that you choose to insult people with.

Fishing has been as old as time itself and many do it because its a great source of food/protein. If you are complaining, then I hope you are slowly starving yourself because with your mentality you should not "illtreat" (sic) plants, cattle, swine, chicken, etc.

As a comment to the person in the video, you're a true fisherman!

[paulmacfishing]

@SirRogersMaximus yes agreed it is a source of protein but three fish of that size there is no need to one would do here in scotland the chance of a 50 pounder is slim and these guys kill them in abundance i have no prob with killing fish if it is necessary but these guys are rediculus the last fish was coloured up aswel should have been returned so theres my answer to you

[MrPicklefarts]

sweet hat beard combo

[destroyDUCK]

this beats the hell out of fly fishing for bass in minnesota

[bigwillie1110]

[Alu122112211221]

[jayeagar]

@Alu122112211221 wooly buggers all the way, they work for anything

[turbozorro1]

[johnball235]

@coalie1979 yeh true that, its a big problem anyway

[santi1996cazeria]

jaja lindo pez

[TheBigfishcatcher01]

monster,lovely fish

[johnball235]

Wow, nice catch..in Ireland we struggle to get salmon half that size because rivers and estuaries are poached dry .

[FisherManStan88]

If wild salmon populations are good enoff for

the harvest of big jacks like that then its not all bad.

its untouched Norway we are talking about not over harvested Canada newfoundland and other places where its a rare to land a salmon over even ten pounds. i wouldn't agree there but Norway has done a great job at not over harvesting and deserve to enjoy the benifits of taking home a nice big salmon. great cant! if u cant one that size in canada tho plz let it go lol

[Bluebeltonproduction]

@FisherManStan88 Newfoundland overharvested? 10lb + salmon rare? Are you just plain stupid or retarded? I live in Newfoundland and what you are ranting on about is complete bullshit.

[FisherManStan88]

@Bluebeltonproduction Actaully its not, i've only spent the last 4years fishing there

and the only place you even have decent chance of landing a non grills salmon

is at fly in lodges and privatized river sections with lodges. i've spent much time

with the locals and talked many stories of how the salmon sizes are in such decline that there should be a zero harvest rate at all. when my father fished as a boy every salmon was 20+ pds and yes it is very RARE to land a salmon of 10+pds champ

[Bluebeltonproduction]

@FisherManStan88 Well all I have to say is you need a new guide. And Norway's salmon populations are in trouble, google fish farm. Cheers

[WEESTRAWZ]

Nice fish but did you dispatch it the correct way?

Har hyggelig fisk men du sendt det den riktige måten ?

[DonkeyOnkey]

STOP KILLING THE WILD SALMON

the rivers are now almost empty.

[joa930]

@DonkeyOnkey THIS river is far from empty !

[DonkeyOnkey]

@joa930

Actually, you are wrong.

[JockScott6]

That fish is a king, and I can't believe you killed it. Disrespectful and a quite pathetic. Hope you suffer the same fate.

[joa930]

@JockScott6 stop whining plz

[bored2deathreaper]

@joa930 keep killing wild salmon and everyone will be whining!

[slipknotbot]

thats a big ass atlantic salmon nice catch

[davidhogahoga]

da var eit stort monster elle ka

[derleineangler]

what a monster !

[dong2phat4u]

I've never seen an Atlantic salmon this size. I've heard stories, but seeing is believing. I've been to Norway a few times. The smoked salmon there is the best in the world.

[sako85]

Aqua cultur is a much bigger threat to the atlantic salmon then keeping a big fish now and then. So if you "buy one in the store" as some ignorant people suggest you support the industry.

[metalbananas]

@sako85 while i agree aqua culture is by far the major threat, its still a shame to see such a huge fish killed, those are the genes for more big fish now not being passed on. makes you think about what the nets are keeping out the rivers thoough. these are sad times for atlantic salmon

[DeRbYtHcR]

wow nice fish.

Who care's if he killed it?it was prolly gonna die anyway,why let it rott on the bank?

[markiewcz]

utrolig pen fisk du fikk:) gratulerer:D

[sako85]

C&R is torture. Catch and Freeze!

[cubsterizler]

Maybe one day you will understand. You would like history to remember you as a good reason why atl salmon dissapeared...

[Sillybyl]

Holy Fuck, there's no need to kill that beast. You have enough fish there to feed 100 people. You greedy idiots.

[abeltri]

How can you kill such a fantastic fish, you animals! You don´t deserve to call yourself a sportman showing this lack of respect for nature.

[roadrunner304]

skal si dere en ting skal villlaksen her i norge overleve så må dem store fiske skøytene der ute slutte og hive not og dra iland tonn av laks, og så må regjeringen slutte og sette kun 1 ukes fiske tid på not fiske for laks og sette totalforbud mot det i stede og slutte og tenke peng og slutte og skylde på oss laksefiskere som tar bare en 5% mens dem som driv notfiske tar 80%

[huterrob]

Grattis till stor fisk det är så man själv skulle vilja prova fluga på lax ju :-),,,,

Självklart ska man väll äta upp de man fångar oxå ,,

[strpwnownz4]

hmmm i like to eat salmon

[cubsterizler]

and you can buy some today at the store.

[semimentalman]

at 3:40 scary face

[glalaxen93]

Flott fisk, men hvis villaksen i norge skal overleve må nok catch and release bli en regel. 3 Store fisk drept, hvorfor, en av de 3 ville holdmer enn nokt som mat for resten av året

[torjeblogg]

Bætteli fin laks det dær! ikke fan om eg ha sløppe en sånn kar ut ijænn!

[crowdcor225]

These fuckers would take as many fish as they could get their hands on... No respect for the fish or the waters they live in.

[rogerminost]

I agree with the critics - fishing skill is nothing without respect for the fish, and that demands swift despatch if it is to be kept.

[fistle]

not only did the wanker kill it he didn't even have the decency to knock it on the head. Hopefully morons like this will not be allowed to fish such a fabulous river in future.

[robytzu96]

nice catch

[aznbeeezy]

motherfucking bitch as dick sucking whore u shud uh relesed those nmotherfuckers so i cud hav caught it and barbequed it muwhahah

[cubsterizler]

watch your language... in fact your language is a very clear way to understand that your are not very intelligent and is showing indirectly how weak fisherman you are and poor understanding of the SPORT of fly fishing for Atlantic salmon beauties.

[aznbeeezy]

well UR lack of language shows tat ur a pussy

[cubsterizler]

Your momma never learn you that a guy doesn't have a vagina, you fagot always mixed everything up!

[aznbeeezy]

shut chor mouth or ill fuck it

[cubsterizler]

Poor retarded guy that cant do nothin with his brainz ......ur stttooooooooooooouup

[aznbeeezy]

shut chor mouth or ill fuck it

[vjpp4oku]

Norrländare snälla ta me mig o fiska non gång!!!n xD

[LesFunksionnaires]

if these guys can afford his fishing reel and equipment, they dont need to kill 3 fish or more on the same day imho.

[bbjboi]

shutup u lito cunt stop complaining and do something bout it if u care so much bitch

[LesFunksionnaires]

i wish i could come whip your ass, pig. 3 big salmon killed in the same day, what a shame. I understand someone keeps one small salmon once in a while, but 90% of all the big fish are gone nowadays, and that includes the salmon. You keep them just for bragging rights. Stop living in the 80's this is 2009.

[bbjboi]

shutup u lito funky fagget u aint whip knowbody bitch.

[kr15t1ann]

NYDELIG fisk!

[danielsenmeister]

Lækker laks og lækker skæg også!!

[Tiny222]

Congrats to a real nice fish !

[kev180982]

22,5 kg

[reed2d2boy]

50 pound fish MY ASS - i would say 35 tops

[grousemaster]

I would say you haven't caught many large salmon - that fish is well over 40 lbs - and could possibly be the advertised 50 lbs. As far as release, yeah, be nice to see it released, but it's legal there - and at least it wasn't a hen.

[clisham1]

I returned a 10lb salmon in the Outer Hebrides a couple of years back and when I told a local this in answer to his question as to how my fishing was going, the expression on his face showed that he thought I was clearly mad. Some of your respondents are eco-warriors and carry the usual prejudices - why have the cheek to assert the fish would fester in a freezer? I would imagine the fairly and legally caught specimen was enjoyed by the lad, his family and friends.

[lobsternoob]

some people don't realize that not everyone fishes purely for sport, some people do it to catch their food. I catch and release some fish, but not every one, and i make damn sure they don't go to waste.

[gregori0o0]

Awesome fish! But norwegian style, "cath and not realese" :(

[AF89Bedu93]

Fantastic salmon!

[Fishnflightbum]

Translation is needed for the norwegian impaired:

"Nice rod you've got there!" -"Yeah, it's a Guideline..."

"You've hooked a nuclear sub!"

:)

[h8thesox620]

i don't know what language your speaking, or where your fishing, but i HAVE to give you props for a fish like that

[Tehchainz]

At 1:41 you can clearly see this fish has been snagged, if they dont bite it, you should be setting, eurotrash noobs.

[stuartl385]

what kind of salmon is that?

[Fishnflightbum]

stuartl385: Atlantic salmon.

[Fishnflightbum]

Awesome vid guys!

[silverleapers]

Hi Friend;

Huge fish....but come-on gentlemen...killing them???...Hmmmm. I realize fishing without some killing is NOT how it should be.....but why kill any huge fish...even from the Alta? Even Alta's runs a WAY down...what of conservation?

This sure doesn't help Alta's image...

[cubsterizler]

Its OK hes just posted a proof of his abuse of the species and will be remembered as one of the responsible of the salmon disappearance and will one day tell his sun he cant go salmon fishing because dads already killed them all.

Bravo!

[brentbgill]

Another freezer burnt trophy REMOVED from this class of people.NEVER EATEN.

[galasmile08]

Wow! I would like to go fishing there too! I'm alredy dreaming.....

[tidelwaters]

fantastic good work boys

[D3Smartie]

Amazing fish. too bad you took it out of the gene pool.

[truthmttrs23]

[Champ186]

They have caught 10 salmon over 50lbs on the Alta this year with the biggest a 62lber and the 62 was kept.

[GWM33]
