    Excellent episode boys. Thanks for introducing these amazing documentaries to us. I just watched all 3. I gotta say the first 2 had me feeling a little down but episode 3 brought me back to feeling positive. And the footage was incredible. I can’t believe they actually discovered sculpin! And the trout porn was amazing 😂
