Nope, if I remember correctly it was somewhere between 225 and 275 miles of logging roads. Took about 7 hours driving 45-55 miles an hour on the dirt. You should look into the North Maine Woods. Expansive network of logging roads, open to the public for a fee!

@@daryleman5325 haha, that’s fishin’!

aw thanks so much! We like leaves! Maybe that'll be our next video ;) jk its gunna be more fish nerd content

Now I know some shit

Thanks so much!!

Thanks, Tripp! We've gotten a lot of flack for this one, so its nice to get a pat on the back once and a while ;) Thanks for the pick-me-up, it means a lot <3

kindred spirits :) The Paiute is high on our list. One day soon I hope!

@TightLoops it's a very unique species. Very primitive looking almost no scale. Its fins are almost like fingers. Historically, it was called the moon trout. I've noticed that they get a pretty good size depending on your location. They are highly protected. Law enforcement is heavy.

Awesome!!! There are fish up at mikes! A little motivation and hardy vehicle and I’m sure you’ll get to see them one day. Incredible country up there. Baja is magic

There’s lots of info about it. You can also try searching “gulf of California” instead of sea of Cortez. I don’t remember the exact source I used in my research. But a quick google search turns up plenty. Here’s one! uapress.arizona.edu/book/the-gulf-of-california

@@sportaventure29 thank you so much!!!!!

Sometimes fishing is about a lot more than just “fishing” ;) Thanks for checking it out!!

gaaaah I know I'm sorry! I include music credits in almost every single video weve ever made, but we had an insane time crunch to get this video out, and even had to push the premiere by a week to get it all done. Getting the music credits together was one of the things that got cut for time reason. I can tell you that many of the bangers in here are by a guy named Andrew Judah! Look him up!

Huh?

We actually don’t live anywhere. We live in our vehicle and have for the last 5 years. My folks live in Butte, and our family is 5 generations deep there. But to be honest, Butte ain’t so rough these days (compared to its old reputation). We love visiting. But if you’re asking hypothetically why someone would choose Butte over Bozeman or Missoula, I’d say it would come down to money. We couldnt afford either of those towns even if we wanted to. Both cool places, but the cost of living is out of control these days.

Thanks Nick! Glad you liked it. Tucson has become like a second home for us. The Sonoran desert is a magical place, full of mystery and wildness, even if it is shrinking. This is one of our favorite videos from this series, but it doesn’t get much love from our fishing audience, since it’s…you know, about cactuses and stuff lol.

@@TightLoops the southwest is SO underrated for fishing! I’m sure the cactus and fishing don’t correlate to most 😂 been loving the Baja series, just might have to make the trip down that way and chase some fish.

Thanks! The area is incredibly remote. We have very little record of contemporary (post colonization) humans spending much time there. As far as indigenous people, surely some must have explored the area, but we don't have any precise evidence of that. This isn't an area along any major migration routes, or of any cultural significance etc. So theres a chance that even prehistoric people may have never visited this spot, or if they did, perhaps only once or twice. Anyway, its a little bit of poetic license on my part, but the idea being that so few people have ever set foot where we were, theres a pretty good chance that no human foot as stepped in exactly the place that we did. It doesn't mean no people had ever been in the area near it, but that theres been so few footsteps, chances are that every step you take is the first time any modern human as stood in that exact spot, and seen, felt, smelled those exact things etc. Pretty cool feeling!

Cool! I’ll have to look into that!
