Mike Kasic is a sound recorder for remote location wildlife shoots. He’s from Montana (I think he said Livingston) and loves cutthroat. In fact, he likes to swim with the cutts in the Yellowstone River. That’s right, swim. He dons the wet suit and a crash helmet and jumps in the river swimming through the park and elsewhere. There’s some great footage of him and the fish (you’ve got to see the Mother’s Day caddis hatch section). He also discusses the plight of the Yellowstone cutts in Yellowstone Lake with the lake trout. The video is produced by the BBC.

Scott,
That is an awesome video! I myself enjoy swimming with fish as well. Although, as you well know, my swimming with the fish is usually done inadvertently…..due to a collapsing gravel or sand bar! Cool video!

Mr. DaNeilson,
Yes, I think I’ve seen that swim maneuver of yours. The dude on the video is just a bit more graceful, but with a little practice, you can look like him!
Thanks for stopping by!
