00:00With 34,000 miles of coastline, more than the other 49 states combined, Alaska should
00:06in theory have the most surf breaks in the country.
00:09The problem is we also have the lowest amount of land accessible by roadway.
00:13So for the next two days, Sean and I are headed to a remote island in search of good waves
00:18and great fishing.
00:19Let's get into it.
00:45Alright, welcome to the island.
00:48The next two days, I want to catch fish, I want to catch waves.
00:55That's the plan, me and Sean, we're just getting set up in our, we'll get the tent set up here
00:59and then we're going to go explore around a little bit.
01:04I've wanted to come here for a very long time.
01:11Looks like a good spot to camp.
01:15And we want to get set up kind of quick and get some wood in the tent and dry.
01:22Because we can hear the waves.
01:25We can't see them, so we don't know, but we're excited.
01:32Alright, we're moving down.
01:33It's too lumpy here.
01:37I'm going to get set up in the tent.
01:42How'd we start to get this now?
01:51I'm going to get a little bit of 40.
01:52I'm going to catch up.
01:53I'm going to catch up in the tent.
01:54I'm going to catch up in the tent, and I'm going to catch up in the tent.
02:12We got the stove set up so we're gonna go get some firewood and attempt to get it dry.
02:38We found a waterfall that takes care of our water problem.
02:49It's good to know.
02:55This here is a lagoon that when the tide comes up in a couple hours this is where we're walking
03:02is all gonna fill up.
03:09Alright this is gonna be our moment of truth we're walking up over the other side where
03:13the waves are supposed to be.
03:28Oh yeah look over there dude got a little right.
03:35It's kind of right in those rocks.
03:40Oh that's a yammer.
03:44Oh clean.
03:46I hate to admit it but you were right.
03:49Yep look at that.
03:50That's nice dude.
03:52Perfect little A-frame.
03:53Let's go screw the wood.
03:54Let's go.
03:54No dude we got to get some wood.
03:56We're gonna be so cold.
03:58It was glassy.
04:01Looky there.
04:04Super dry stuff under here.
04:06That's what we want.
04:08Can you hold that?
04:09Oh nice dude.
04:15It's rained like every day this year or this spring.
04:24Oh come on.
04:45So last year I'll have to check but it's almost to the day.
04:50It was either the 18th or the 19th.
04:52Today's the 19th.
04:53Yeah?
04:56I went on one of those tours and saw two surfers surfing here.
05:04Wake up.
05:07We're in a time loop dude.
05:09This is time loop island.
05:11Can we eat?
05:12Is this the air or night?
05:13Yeah that's for lunch too.
05:15But we got to split it for two days.
05:18Well three if we're waiting for.
05:20Looks really tasty.
05:21Yeah.
05:23Sounds like it's one day.
05:26For me.
05:31There's a tour ship going right in front of the island.
05:36What?
05:44Did it go?
05:45I think so.
05:46Let's get in there.
05:50Oh yeah.
05:54Haha.
05:55Let's do it all right.
06:21Hyah.
06:22Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
07:01Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
07:31Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
07:55Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
07:56Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
07:57I was getting out real quick.
07:59Oh, no!
07:59Yeah, it was awful.
08:01Yeah, my back got real tight.
08:03I was trying to, like...
08:04You know how you lean back before you drop in?
08:06Yeah.
08:07It was...
08:08Oh, careful.
08:20Thankfully, it's no longer raining.
08:23And there's no old man's beard around here, which normally in this type of environment I would use to start
08:29the fire.
08:30But there is pine tar, which is really flammable.
08:35So, we'll try and use that.
08:38I'll show you.
08:38It shows up wherever the tree is injured.
08:41It's like a natural fire starter.
08:46I'm sure you already know that, though.
08:57Oh, no.
08:59It's stuck to my fingers.
09:02I'll do that.
09:06Okay.
09:07What do we got going on here?
09:08Oh, you got something.
09:09Yeah?
09:10Do you want it to?
09:11Okay.
09:12I'll set it up a little bit.
09:28Check that out.
09:31Cilantro, red onion, cabbage, avocado, carne asada, steak.
09:40And then tomorrow is gonna be, hopefully, fish tacos.
09:44But if not, it'll just be vegan tacos.
09:49It'll be fish tacos.
09:50Yeah.
09:51I have a good feeling about this cove, honestly.
09:54We're gonna have some...
09:56The seals have been fishing.
09:57Yeah.
10:00It ain't good.
10:02Yeah, I'm excited to go fish.
10:15Huh?
10:17Say good morning to the people.
10:18Oh.
10:20You know what's good about it?
10:23What?
10:24It's a bad morning.
10:27Good morning, everybody.
10:30Good morning, everybody.
10:50Mm.
10:51Mm.
10:52Mm.
10:53Mm.
10:54Mm.
10:56Mm.
10:59Cheers.
11:02Mm.
11:03Little Nutella there.
11:05Little Caesar.
11:08Aah!
11:09I think it's time to go fishing, yeah?
11:12And pooping.
11:14All right.
11:16Crow agrees, raven.
11:18He is our friend.
11:23The sun's peeking out.
11:27I think it's time to go catch some dinner.
11:31Or what will be dinner.
11:45All right, first cast, we've got the buzzbomb.
11:52Bomb's away.
11:57Little farther out.
11:58Oops.
12:01Away we go.
12:13Moving on.
12:29Do I have something?
12:33Maybe.
12:37I don't think it's, I don't know.
12:46Oh, hello, little guy.
12:49What even are you?
12:53Put you back, how about that?
12:58Goodbye, buddy.
13:02Oh, boy.
13:04There you go.
13:05Swim down.
13:06Oh, there he goes.
13:07Good work.
13:10That was, that was good.
13:13Good sign.
13:19I tell you what, kayak fishing is really fun,
13:21because even that little fish was fun to pull up.
13:26Just something about being unstable on the kayak makes it more interesting.
13:35All right.
13:38Just going to go way out, see what's out.
13:42Out yonder.
13:49Yep.
13:53Come on.
13:56Please be something good.
14:09Oh, yeah.
14:14Ooh.
14:16Yes, sir.
14:21What are you?
14:23They don't do that.
14:25Don't, don't shake them.
14:27Ooh, you're hooked good, so I'm not worried about you.
14:31That's fun.
14:33Some sort of sculpin of some sort.
14:38In you go.
14:42All right, we'll keep him.
14:45And then hopefully we can get another bigger fish.
14:54All right, so I just came in real quick to look up, make sure sculpin are good to eat,
15:00and make sure that was a sculpin, because I'm kind of new to this.
15:02Or I am very new to this.
15:05So, yeah, that was a sculpin.
15:08And you can keep as many as you want in this area.
15:14And they are good to eat, but they're hard to fillet, so we'll see.
15:20I have a little bit of service here, so I'm able to look things up, which is nice for newbies
15:26like myself.
15:28Hey, what?
15:29Hey, what?
15:32All right, Sean's giving me the surf warning, so I've got about 40 minutes.
15:38I'd like to catch another decent-sized fish, because that one, it won't be filling for two dudes.
15:50Another good one?
15:52Yep.
16:03Oh, oh, a little flounder.
16:06Ah.
16:08Hmm.
16:14Yeah, we'll keep...

16:41I want something a little bigger.
16:46I'm going to paddle out to this spot where I saw a bunch of birds eating last night.
16:51I don't know if that could mean anything, but...
16:54Maybe there's, like, schools of fish that hang out out here.
17:28Oh, come on.
17:31that looks appetizing huh a little gummy action
17:47all right well i hit my my time so i'm heading back we're gonna go surf the high tide
