While Dori was still in the air, Brock and Tom got on the water.

Dori arrived in Alaska to a feast of fish, perfect preparation for the piscatorial activities ahead of him.

Before the fishing could begin, however, a little shopping was in order. After all, the boys have to bring gifts for their spouses and friends back home.

Brock said he’ll buy the Alaskan Fur Bikini for his wife if I buy The Duke for Wyman. #stillconsidering pic.twitter.com/BwocACpWHU

Then the life-altering moment finally happened — Dori caught his first fish ever.

I lost my virginity today. We got our three king in less than a half hour. And our six halibut – all before 11am. 200 lbs of halibut pic.twitter.com/nZPsSNWrEX

But, with a tad more fishing experience, Brock was still the winner.

I hate losing. ⁦@BrockHuard⁩ ‘s 70 lb halibut beat my 45 pounder. pic.twitter.com/SdF7TDkxxl
