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

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