I have a custom 907 rod and pulled a 120lb butt last year with it and that rod didn’t even flinch. Great craftsmanship 10/10
We all must return to the sea.
It is not just a catchy phrase or social media hashtag.
We believe that the rivers, lakes, and oceans are the LIFEBLOOD of this world. A place where we can go to sustain ourselves mentally, spiritually, and physically. We are the hunters of the sea,
It is truly a deep ancestral connection.

The Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska ecosystems are reeling.
For the first time in history, the Bering Sea snow crab fishery was shut down for the 2022/23 season. And for the second straight season, the 2022/23 Bristol Bay red king crab fishery was closed as well. Yukon River Chinook salmon returned in low numbers in 2023, and the chum salmon return is uncertain - leading state managers to close subsistence fishing in the Lower Yukon.
Meanwhile, trawlers pursuing pollock for fish sticks and fake crab continue to indiscriminately catch massive amounts of a multitude of fish species including salmon, crab and halibut. This harvest of non-targeted species, called bycatch, cannot be sold to market, is oftentimes considered “ waste,” and is dumped overboard.
While nearly every other sector of the Bering Sea based fishery suffers, the largest, most wasteful one continues full steam ahead. This must change. Urge NOAA fisheries to update guidelines for National Standards 4, 8, and 9 to better address environmental changes and inequity in federal fisheries management. Add your voice at the link below.
