  • As Alaskan fisherman myself, you could not have talked to a better representative of our industry than this gentleman. Plus it was great to see good ol’Cordova again, boy I had some wild seasons there back in my youth. Great job Peter keep’em coming!
  • This fisherman seems like someone we are all lucky to have heard from. I'm really glad this channel exists.
  • @_NKBD
    This man lives a simple life but you can tell he loves every second of it.
  • Being 82 years old this is one of the best outdoor films I have seen. And I love the knowledge and honesty of this fisherman and his love of Alaska.
  • @1down4up78
    I cant stress how much I respect the fisherman. Kind Funny Humble Strong Cool Interesting Hard working Every child needs a father, grandfather, uncle or friend like this. Coming form a city boy in England Uk.
  • @buzzybee186
    This guy was so endearing and really cares about his town, the people and the land/water. Plus the scenery! It was great to meet someone like that through the channel. Just a wholesome dude.
  • This one touches my heart. I grew up in Metlakatla and Sitka Alaska in 70s and 80s. I live in Montana now and just lost my dad . I wear his "halibut jacket" when it's cold. I stay in touch with friends from the islands. Good people. A lot has changed. This fellow is so right.
  • It shows how corrupt everything is. He has so much knowledge and wisdom. He loves fishing. Also Wayne looks awesome,, you would never know his age. It's ashame the fisherman can't band together and demand a price. United we stand - divided we fall🌻🌻
  • @bennyF52
    Every chance the interviewer led this man to gossip or say something negative, the man flipped it and spoke decently and respectful on the subject. A true class act, this man is. The world needs more people with this kind of humble , uplifting attitude
  • This gentleman is such an amazing guy. The vibe he gives off is so positive and relaxing. He would be the person to organize all the fisherman to get the best price from the canneries. I'm new to your channel and so enjoy it .
  • This guy is awesome. I really like the way he talked about getting together to get the best price. I also liked how he said he would never stop fishing unless it was the right thing to do for conservation related purposes. He seems super humble and forward thinking.
  • @mark91345
    I can't get over the beauty of the area. I found myself listening to the conversation, but then sorta zoning out and just admiring the location. Everything is so vibrant, so green. I could almost smell the fresh, cold air as Peter and Kory were talking. So beautiful!
  • @nyobu73
    Alaska really has to be one of the most fascinating places on Earth. This was an amazing series, thank you Peter.
  • I really enjoy your videos Peter, I fished in Cordova from 1983 to 2012, married a Cordova girl and love that town. You couldn’t have chosen a nicer guy to feature!
  • @jeanlanz2344
    Kory is a fascinating, honest, hardworking man. I feel privileged to hear his family's story and some of his deep insights into his work, nature, politics, and corporate exploitation. His independence and entrepreneurialism are admirable. Thank you again, Peter, for another fascinating journey into new territory for many of us. God bless you.
  • Not since Anthony Bourdain have I found a suitable channel that compares. Others have tried but your channel I feel Carries on the legacy of capturing narratives that are normally so propagandized that the truth has a hard time getting out. A beautiful mix of culture, storytelling, and food. Keep up the good work.
  • @andresbf830
    What a great man Kory is. Thank you for bringing his story, Peter! 👏👏
  • I am so grateful for these educational videos you bring us Peter. It gives me a respect for what truly goes into the source of our food I wouldn't be aware of otherwise. I believe it's so important to learn these things and is incredibly interesting as well. You always make sure to have some gorgeous scenery along the way! Keep the awesome stories coming!

    My father fished all his life and died at 80. The stress of fishing lead to alcoholism that killed him. He worked himself to death so I could earn a science degree from a top university and not suffer the rigors of commercial fishing. Ty for the honest depiction of the fishing industry.
