How far are you from the hatchery?

Never thought about catching frogs with a fishing Pole, and I've never ate them. Are they any good?

10’6 6-10 spin rod is the shit for jigs and beads

Thanks for all the info on steelhead,Your choice of gear is awesome and I like the snair for crab,never seen that setup before

Awesome video great job

Great fish Brian.

I’m a new subscriber from Oregon. I’m enjoying your vid’s but please cut the music. It’s very distracting from your tutorial. Thanks😊

Is that a coastal river

Wow 8 years. That’s dedication. I certainly wont stop trying but I’m hoping it won’t take me a decade 😅 I appreciate letting us watch your wins and losses

Winter Steelhead fishing is tough. Have to put the time in 100%. It is discouraging at times but the tug is addicting 100%. So much fun to fight. Like you said need to sharpen your own knife and use what you have confidence in. Winter steel season is tough but yet so much fun and reward8ng

You're having a hard time landing them because when they run down river of u and u try to fight them like that u increase the chances of pulling the hook straight out of their mouth. Try to keep them up river of u or out in front of u.

That river is ripping along! Dang glad you could get those in!

Out of curiosity, what happened to your Stryker rod? Apologies if you mentioned it in another video, I'm still catching up!

Nice work! Fun watching you get redeemed.

First year of fishing, I got 4 hookups for Summer Steelhead in 3 days. Couldn't land any of them! Sometimes, the hook-ups just don't work out, but you're right: the key is to keep fishing, keep trying.

Great video! Sweet hookups and fights.

I said it before, I’ll say it again…. No touchy the drag!!!!🤪🤪 they’ll get tired. Feed em line and hope they forget they’re hooked.

Broo take me I promise I won’t murder you 👍😃

What a beautiful fish!! Handled that fish like a pro

HEY DO THEY STILL HAVE THE BMX TRACK RIGHT THERE BY THE RIVER STILL??

Ok Last Post .. try white glo bug yarn that you use for your yarnies with the bead you want to make it look like a piece of skein with an egg!

It was deff coming up by the time you left first day 😅

I think for whatever reason when a fish gets further away you got to go easier on drag… seams like there more delay between line stretch and drag … just 2 cents

Dangling spinners off of branches works pretty well actually. You need to sharpen your hooks bro or put new ones on.. you know steelies have soft mouths right now!!!

The American river is fricken hotter than Los Angeles on fire right now!! One of the local kids Zay posted his video of just the weekend as they were killing it at nimbus hatchery!!!

Good video of the up and down of being a steelheader. I also loved the commentary .

Im 3 for 3 this winter so far on beads...but one year i also lost my first 8 hooked on beads. I think the reason people lose so many on beads is because the bead being pegged above the hook like that, a lot of fish are actually hooked on the outside of the lip and i think sometimes the hook is just barely through a tiny piece of skin and it just rips through after a minute.

Great video of the agony of defeat as well as the victory smiles! I need to get out there. I haven't caught nor fished for steelhead for roughly 18 to 20 years. I use all my vacation time for chinook. Hopefully retirement in just a few years changes all that.

Caught a steelhead today on a little cleo. 3rd cast😂 could not believe all the people today. Keep on fishin on!

You’re not alone. I’ve caught one wild and lost every fish since then. Hooked a nice 8-10lb fish right in front of me yesterday and still lost it. I’m not surprised when I lose fish that I hook downstream from me though

My boys love your videos especially my oldest! Keep it up big dawg!!

Awesome fishing that was some nice fish got. You 2 hammer down on them. Great Steelhead Video.

Best day of the year so far! Awesome!

Some day your eating hot dog and bean and the next day your having steely diner that how it goes

Took me 3 years before I caught a steelhead. Fish for 20-25 years,stopped for 12-13 years. Started again 2 years ago, love catching them.

That’s a great video

The dynamic duo does it again. Nice action guy's. Did Rocco use bait when he was drifting fishing or did he use a corkie or yarnie. Love your enthusiasm and excitement each time you all hook a fish. Keep the action coming. 👏👏👏👏👏

I have gone 7 times to various spots on local rivers and haven’t caught one. Then I ran over my poles with my car cuz I placed them leaning against it and forgot to put them in. I went and got a better pole and reel, the set up that many guys use in the pnw. The guy at the store told me that I can’t use the reel for both salt water and fresh water, becusee the fish in the rivers won’t touch my bait if they sense that salt water from the line, and I been doing just that, using same equipment for fresh and saltwater fishing. Maybe this is common sense knowledge, but not to me. I watched over 100 fishing videos from my area, and not one of them mentioned this crucial fact for newbies. I love fishing, so I’m gonna keep going till I start catching steelhead. I have caught lots of other species, but coho and steelhead been elusive for me. Hopefully now that I got new pole reel and line, and new beads. Some lures I need to wash thiugrouky and keep my salt water separate from fresh water lures.

Nice one bro

What state are you fishing? That river looks amazing.

Nice fish.Appreciate the video considering I didn't get to go out this year at all

Remember to like the video after you watch it. :) This is a good one!!

Patience is a virtue and we all have it once in awhile. Lol
