Coming home from -5°, no fish, and a half frozen river just to watch you slay. Stay warm this week!

Just getting out is what it’s all about! Things haven’t been easy by any means. Can’t wait for this cold snap to end🤞🏼

Be happy and excited for something you love. Those haters don't know and wish they felt something they enjoyed like that. I whoop and holler..

[@dennisvanwyk315]

Consider yourself blessed to have fishing as a "Passion" that you experience and share with friends ... others can diminish it by making it a competition. Keep doing what makes you happy.

[@Chiefz]

That comment was written so well; you couldn't have said it better. Look forward to the next time we get on the water! Lets make something happen soon

Glad you can take something away with each of my videos. It’s always been my goal to help educate and inspire others through this journey. Thanks for the love on this one👍🏼

[@ZackBeNinja]

Love seeing the fish. Gorgeous creatures. The slow row to and from looks relaxing as all hell. Great video.

[@Chiefz]

There’s something about moving with the river that is unmatched. Fish are just a bonus being somewhere this serene

[@quuince]

Netting the fish with one hand while reeling looks like a chore! Your cinematography is getting good, love the opening shots

[@Chiefz]

Thanks man!! I still have so much to learn with this camera. Trying to get better with it everyday. Netting these fish solo can be tough fs lol

[@IxKren]

you make some of the best fishing videos ive seen.

[@ryanferguson7028]

I would say for every 1 hater that throws shade your way there’s 100 people that have your back. I really do appreciate all your videos and your teachable moments throughout them. Your vid’s got me into float fishing. I would have never really given it more than a thought, but you made it look so enjoyable that I had to give it a shot…and now I’m hooked! So I thank you for all the work you’ve done to put out these vids and draw more interest to the sport. Also I have an endless supply of MRE’s if you are interested free of charge. Keep on slayin 💪🏼

[@Chiefz]

I love it!! Such a great comment man, thank you. Really appreciate the time you took to write that. That’s what it’s all about and to hear you say it inspired you means more than you know. What kind of MRE’s are they??

[@ryanferguson7028]

@@Chiefz military MRE’s. If you know anything about them, they’re not great but they’re not bad either. Lots of calories and they are perfect for camping. You mentioned being a “garbage disposal” so you’ll actually probably like them, lol. I get cases every time we go do field training exercises. Would be glad to donate as much as you want.

[@drg0623]

Hey man really like seeing you fish for steelhead. I was born and raised in Oregon and fished for salmon and steelhead both from a boat and the bank. Here lately our fish runs real low in numbers. But it’s all about the fishing and being on the river. You need to come out to the west coast and see where most of your fish you are chasing have come from. Nothing like catching a salmon out steelhead with sea lice on it and scales falling off because they are right out of the ocean. I see you use roe and if you respond to this message I can let you know of some of the egg cures we use. Anyway keep on chasing these magical fish, I am 62 and I shake like a leaf when I hook or Even get a tug. Thanks man the ones who do not like to see you get excited just do not share your Passion! I do though

[@rexfordpauley8924]

These deserve so much more love, you do so well on these and I speak for all of us when I say, Thank you for putting the time and effort into these videos for us. Love ya Chief ❤️

Sounds about right :/ Thanks bro!!

[@truenorthangler]

Another fantastic and educational video. People don’t know how hard it is to do everything by yourself in terms of gathering all the footage and filming by yourself and put it all together for the audience to enjoy. I do it myself as well and I tip my hat off to you. Great overnight camping and fishing trip, love using the Raven wide gape hooks as well, great for running with beads as well as bags. There will always be the keyboard warriors out there no matter where you fish, I get it as well. Love your videos, man. Looking forward to some ice fishing as well. Tight lines. Adrian

[@michaelwolf7848]

That creaking log jam at 15:15 had me spooked lol, great vid though. i love solo camping on the water too, makes for a sweet trip

[@Chiefz]

Last thing I’d want to hear alone at night I can say that… haha. Thanks for watching👍🏼

[@xPredz]

Amazing vid man! Such a nice recovery on that snagged fish, and loved the overall vibes of the trip. That brown was so beautiful with colour I havent seen one at that size in a long time! Would love to see some campfire cooking over the fire because trust me it feels so rewarding! If you ever want to hit up some winter camping trips again and want some tips such as keeping snow and pine branches along the sides of the tent for some extra warmth and insulation let me know, keep livin' chiefz!

[@Chiefz]

Snagged fish?! Which one bro? They all bit. Definitely going to be cooking over an open flame sometime down the road. Thanks for supporting as always g

[@paulkuzia9236]

@@Chiefz I think he means snagged on a branch.

[@georgegeorge6193]

I run size 4 and 6 hooks all the time for steelhead and have never had problems catching fish in low clear water. Glad to see someone else uses and is successful with “boat anchors” besides me

[@Chiefz]

I do think 8’s and 10’s have a lot of merit. Maybe it’ll be something I’ll switch to down the road. In my experience I haven’t been faced with less bites due to slightly larger hook size. If anything I disguise it more in the spawn bag and it helps get the bait down🤷‍♂️

[@michaelgenestreti3133]

Don’t stop because of some anonymous assholes man. I only get out for steelhead once or twice a year and absolutely live for it. When I’m not out, I’m fishing vicariously through folks like you. Keep it up!

I appreciate showing your rigging as it definitely adds to my confidence for catching fish. Tight lines.

I was using a 40lb pyramid anchor in this video. It’s probably a little bit overkill, but it gets the job done👍🏼
