There's no shortcut to building gear that won't fail.

That's why First Light built the new forge waiters from the ground up, field tested for years,

so that failure isn't an option.

Designed for waterfow hunters who show up in the dark, who break ice at the shoreline,

and who stay out when the

conditions stay brutal. These aren't fair weather waiters. They're built to perform and

built to last. If you're planning, your waterfall season, plan around gear that won't quit on you.

Forge waiters by First Light. Zero quit season after season. Available now at FirstLight.com. That's f-I-R-S-T-L-I-T-E.com.

And finally, we'll be joined by Pat Durkin in Minnesota for one minute fishing.

But first, Seth and Brody, give me an Alaska recap. Very jealous. It was good.

It always is.

I would say in the seven years I've been going there with my family, this was the worst year weather-wise and rough seas-wise.

So it was two or at least two, maybe three days.

We couldn't even get out to like the good halibet spots

yep so you know that's part of it you know you're gonna have weather but we we still scratched

out plenty of fish and everybody had fun not the worst fishing in your seven years of going there

though no when we could get out it was good um yeah some

things were not so good this year like salmon yeah yeah um it was tough normally we we'd put up a lot
