Best Videos of 2016

Whether you landed the big one, reached your daily limit, or just had a good day catching up with your fishing friends, we hope you all had the chance to make some good memories last year. If you were really fortunate, then you were able to catch those memories on video too…but, if you didn't, then you can relive the excitement of fishing and beauty of the outdoors with our favorite Alaska fishing videos from 2016. Maybe we'll see your video on the list next year? Send us any you get!

• A really wonderful video that, as the description notes, includes the beauty of Alaska's wilderness along with a lot of great underwater footage of salmon schools. Everything combines to make this our favorite video from 2016

• These anglers went remote and brought you with them in a point of view video (POV) as they fish the Gulkana River. They do a nice job of building the excitement of each catch with the music and slow motion portions.

• We really like the laid back feel to this video of midnight sun fishing in Alaska . It has some nice fish shots and the drone videos at the end are very cool - especially the one that zooms up from the anglers at 1:40

• A fun video catches a good fight between a feisty king salmon and a younger angler. Some great jumps caught on this video are very cool - unfortunately, we don't know if he lands it or not! Hope he did…

• Some good slow motion action from the team at Rugged Creek Fly Fishing as they target Rainbow Trout - and pull out some beautiful fish.

• This is a relatively long video at 37 minutes, but it's worth skipping a sitcom one night. Two anglers did a nice job documenting their 2016 Alaska fishing trip. Among other fish, they catch some nice silver salmon and rainbows while showing off the beauty of the Alaskan wilderness. Looks like a great trip!
