Flashback: The Alaskan (Fishing) Adventure

For my high school graduation (Flagstaff High School) gift, my father took me to Alaska for a guys' fishing trip. It was quite the adventure and a memorable trip from earlier in my life. In high school, I was deep into video production, making movies and documentaries of all types. This Alaska adventure was one of those videos.

I used to be a “YouTuber” before YouTube was around, sporting my parents' old Sony Handycam and playing videos like this in living rooms. This video of our Salmon, trout, and Halibut fishing, from the archives, finally gets its due as I publish it on YouTube in 2025, twenty-two years later. Past me did a pretty solid job editing this.
