  • @waikarimoana
    Great view and awesome sceneries on this trip Steve,fishing was good too team, thanks for the trip, awesome video, thumbs up and greetings from NZ,, Tony.
  • @FollowThomas
    It's awesome to do what you love the most, Hiking and Fishing. This high altitude area is so beautiful with all these wildflowers and views, can't beat that. Enjoy! 👍
  • @JenniferLupine
    I forgot to say I like Kristy’s Seattle t-shirt!! 🙌🙌
  • @UtahWaterLog
    What a cool trip! Kristy's brookie was really nice! Those tigers were gorgeous, and you collected some great scenery. Again, it was great seeing you again, plus meeting your wife and friends.
  • Some great views with great people. Ohh, and don’t forget about some tight lines 😁👍
  • @AlanMETALMAN
    Great to see the fish biting again and also great to see you out with Jen and Steve again. Great hiking weather and loved the wildflower meadows but there were some big backpacks being carried there. Fair play that was one great place to pitch and fish, especially when you can get a fire going to chase those bugs away. Superb morning views over the lake and hearing the birdsong and good to see those fish just kept biting again too. Cheers Alan
  • @IvorsTravels
    Wonderful walk up to the campsite. It is the most glorious location. I think the altitude would be a difficulty for us. Highest point in England is just 3210 FEET . So we spend most of our time pretty close to sea level. Great to see Jennifer and Steve with you again. We do enjoy her channel a lot. Steve`s first catch did look great but then you outdid him. It is a fabulous location. Shame the bugs make the evening so uncomfortable. I notice Jen & Steve standing in the smoke for a bit of protection. Wonderful start to day two. Reflections in the still air just so wonderful. Incredibly beautiful part of the world. Hopefully the continuing record breaking temperatures year on year will prompt some serious efforts to slow and reverse the current concerns. Best wishes to you all.
  • @thatplace1
    Island lake is beautiful. Great destination. Do like the package of fish but hooking some on the line even better! Awesome fishing adventure. Mission accomplished. Cheers 28.
  • @girlfinfishing
    Hiking and fishing, oh yeah 👏 Those tiger trout are beautiful. Great catches! 😊
  • It feels like yesterday when you had that nasty cut on your knee and that hypothermic adventure in the Uintas lol. Now your back, Uintas is beautiful and the weather looks amazing! ❤
  • Great lake and nice fishing, with friends, thanks for sharing and have a nice day
  • @JimHayesHiking
    Great weather,perfect campsite,awesome lake reflections and good company,it just doesn't get much better than that. Great job on the video my friend.......viva Coke Zero!
  • The lakes are so beautiful up there with the reflections. The fishing looked great and love the colors on the trout. Looks like a great hike and glad Kristy was able to make it out, too! It was fun seeing Jennifer there, too. Kristy's oatmeal looks great - my kind of breakfast! Oh cool - you found some Police Car Moths there, too! Looks like a great hike.
  • Awesome trip with Jennifer and Steve and Kristy. Nice tigers. Crazy you ran into Justin again
  • We love the awesome areas you find to fish - so stunning! Awesome company it looks like too! Oh the biscuits and gravy - that is a favorite of ours too!! We wouldn't have wanted to leave that area - what a perfect little stop!

Fabulous hike and camp spot and with great people, lovey the photo of you all at the end too. That was great ~ Anna 👍
