When Guides Get (Too) Excited

Spey fishing for king salmon at Alaska West.
Hey, it’s exciting. Photo: Jason Whiting.

What does a fishing guide do during their time off? The best ones go fishing. And, regardless of how many days a year they spend staring at the water, great guides never quite lose that same level of excitement they felt the first time they caught a fish on a fly rod.

There just may be a thing as too excited however, and today we present you with a quick video of Alaska West guide, Jason Whiting, demonstrating just thaat while swinging for kings during his down time.

So grab another cup of coffee, we think you’ll get a chuckle out of this.

Note: No guides were harmed in the making of this video.
