[@AddictedFishing]

What's the biggest summer steelhead you've ever caught? Drop a comment below! 🐟💬👇

[@adventureanglingpnw1821]

I caught a 31 inch steelhead today on the umatilla river. It weighed 9.2 pounds, sadly it was a wild one so I released it :)

[@360fishingadventures8]

Never caught one. I have only caught one steelhead and it was a winter.

[@dillonhord2685]

Biggest I ever caught was roughly 70 inches and 89 pounds. It was also a dream.

[@TheEverLovingOutdoors]

32" September Salmon River

[@davewoodford7856]

Yo northern Ontario marathon is where I'm at good job on vids ...

[@pnwriverfisher]

This video is so relatable. Drive, hike, fish, bullshit, repeat. Great episode guys!

[@donnamurphy137]

That was awsome! Love you guys. Im 70 years old and love, love love to fish! I leave my husband at home to go fishing, and would love to go fishing with you guys, I've never caught a steelhead but it would be one thing checked off my bucket list! I LOVE Jordon and little, they warm my heart. Watch you all everyday best clips and I get so excited.

[@robertricker2727]

The biggest I seen was a old timer had mounted on his wall over 20lbs he caught in Castle Rock Wa in the Cowlitz below the car lot.

[@just1nott]

I love how big Jord gets so jacked up everytime he hooks into a fish! That's what it's all about! This episode was great as I have never seen Jordan get so mad with his hatchery rant, and breaking his gear off....Then he gets so happy like a young boy when he hooks up with a magical steelhead! So awesome! Love that pure joy that Jordan has when he is hooked up! Keep it up. My fav channel now.

[@kirksoutdooradventures]

I've gone swimming many times to get my lures back. A lot of times in the summer I just wear water shoes and my swimming shorts. Great episode. Love watching you guys fish and having fun!

[@gregbratton4936]

I agree Marlin, some of the best moments of the fishing trip is the time spent hanging out and talking fishing back at the truck or garage.

[@MarkJohnson-il5fy]

Get that lure, glad I'm not the only one losing footing, fighting current, trying to stay upright.! Great video

[@nbeck956]

I don’t care for different camera angles, its the genuine fishing represented throughout your shows. From no fish days to PB comments for your team. Makes me feel right at home while watching you all. Its helping me get through our hard water season.

[@larryroderick718]

What a beautiful fish , persistence pays off.

[@davidgrochmal6023]

If you get a snag tie a small rag on your line and let go all the way to the hook and pull it should come out 99percent of the time!!!!!!!!!!!!! My invention 😊😊😊

[@larryroderick718]

Great job, what a trophy fish !

[@yyoohh]

I like stuff like this better than recent videos . Everybody calm and relax . Enjoying moment .

[@canadianphil421]

Fishing is and will always be about the good time with buds

[@AddictedFishing]

Exactly, that's what its about!

[@squid435]

Your video inspires me and teaches me tricks tips. You guys helped me find my confidence of doing it right thought I was doing it wrong. Now I'm killing it

[@mikekaplan8497]

squid435 nice man that’s what it’s all about !

[@nicktaylor1486]

I cant wait to be home chasing fish ...

[@andrewrandall7111]

That Jordan guy makes these videos entertaining.

[@chadkinkela5186]

I don' know were to begin with this comment. Cowlitz was a summer run pumping machine when i grew up there. State should be all over Tacoma power to bring this river back. Tacoma power made an agreement with the people of Washington, if they build a dam, they produce hatchery fish. No one is holding up to the deal. Really sad.

[@chadkinkela5186]

@Rogue Fisherman Thank you for that. I did not realize this was part of the issue. Probably even got worse this year with the super low flows all summer. Sure wish they could figure out how to get this river going again. One of my all time favorite places to be fishing. Flip flops and shorts catching dime bright steelhead. Good stuff.

[@greggreg5499]

I like how chill your dog was about being tossed 😂 great video guys

[@scottmoschkau1756]

I really enjoy your channel. Especially Steelhead and Salmon shows. I've been fishing for these for over 5 decades, and although injuries have limited me recently, it's still a blast when I can make it out. I couldn't agree more how sad things have gotten with fish numbers declining and why. Hopefully, I'll see you in Southern Oregon on the Umpqua system sometime. We get some huge fish here. Keep up the great work.

[@mythraider1]

You never forget when you catch one of those beauties. Good times!.

[@troutboysoutdoors4481]

I just had to get on here and say how much I agree with you guys on hatchery and wild coexist. You guys have hit the nail on the head!!

[@360fishingadventures8]

Little is so cute trying to bite that fish. Looks like he wants to help out lol 😂

[@ZSIY]

Also the 9’6 GSP in the 4-10 is a fun summer rod trust me!

[@thomasmoore2807]

Cool Jordan WENT AND GOT HIS LURE BACK. I WAS THINKING "ID GO GET IT" RIGHT BEFORE.. HE WENT AND GOT IT 😆

[@freesteez3]

Whoa did Marlin show his head on video? Lol lifted the hat for a second that was a rare moment on addicted fishing lol everyone always has the AF hat on

[@wyattpalmer7491]

I'm a local where you guys were fishing. Just so you guys know for the future as long as you don't go through the yellow gate at the top end, you don't need a Weyerhaeuser pass. Nice video though!

[@ZSIY]

This has to be one of my favorite series on YT and I mean that!

[@jesusmendoza4810]

Did anyone eles notice the eagle snatch the fish at 33:20? Awesome!

[@BK-ix1rs]

Great show have yet to catch a Summer run Steelhead on the Rogue where we live we will keep at it!!

[@fishingman05]

One of my favorite things is watching the fish take your lure or whatever your using.

[@FunTime-ph9mv]

Hope the water wasn't too cold for your swim, Jordan! What a good sport you are!

[@jbellamy33]

That's a tough summer steely bite. :( YES to seeing more chest cams!

[@jbissonette45]

Jordan was straight pittted on that summer...pitted brah. Lol Right on guys🤙🏼!

[@odenphillips6980]

Good info, and I'm 100% a spinner guy for summers, with R&B's or if you can still find them, 1/3 ounce Led Davis bolo spinner. I have gone swimming for a fish catching spinner that is hung up but, without my waders on. Another technique that works for summers is a straight upstream cast in 6 to 10 feet of water and crank it back as fast as you can crank and they will chase it down!

[@medtech1a]

Ive been swimming for my favorite swim bait.

[@jeffhandley7784]

I love Jordan’s boots at the end. Lol

[@WetCoastAdventures]

Jordan! Love 99% of the content that you and the addicted crew produce! Other 1% is when you litter the tag ends of fishing line, right into the river after tying a lure. I always find monofilament line scattered around my favorite fishing spots, I'd hate to think Jordan contributes to this mess. Love you guys.

[@genericx2347]

35 incher,Skykomish.A lifetime ago.Mid June.It flopped out of the net but we got him.Great episode. I haven't gone for a long time.Except here!

[@stevepickens2497]

It’s been rough going on moving water this summer. Great haul, gents!

[@kurtkarj]

Washington State steelhead fishing is the best!!!

[@thomasf1285]

That is a beautiful summer steelhead. Thanks for sharing your success. Maybe a hint as to the region you are fishing?

[@freesteez3]

Ahaha Im healed! That's too funny the sound effects Jordan mades describing the hooking of that pretty fish

[@clintross544]

You gUYs are an inspiration....so cool dudes! If you are ever in new mexico and want to catch some high mountain brooke's let me know. Some great spots great hiking

[@SledorFish]

Had to watch it again. Might have to go walk a river tomorrow morning and see what I find. Heading north in a few weeks though and should find a few summer runs then.

[@JCoy60]

What about some catch and cooks ? Love your videos guys for real, your killing it ..

[@FrontCountryHunter]

Never been steelhead fishing, but definitely want to try. Thanks for teaching that little trick Marlin.

[@stanstevenson631]

Amen Marlon way2 much beaurocracy and not enough action, As usual! Wish we had tribal help in northern cali!

[@martingriss4895]

Marlin, try laying your worm next to your jig head hook and measure the lenght from jig head base to hook curve

[@ernestorichardson9581]

Thanks for the awesome videos as a new angler I am learning much from y’all, I think I’m addicted now

[@jimmyc451]

some of the bast memories of fishing were standing by a barrel fire

[@kriskohanjr.8695]

Did anyone notice the bird come down and take a plunge at 33:20. Awesome video and enjoy all yous guys content.

[@adventurfly879]

Come out and see me in eastern oregon. I guide a couple gems out here. For very large rainbows and steelhead. Probably a place you have never fished before too. Eastern oregon river outfitters. Ask for Travis.

[@rickpritchett897]

Great video.. You guys make me not have so much doubt or feel so bad about what I am doing when I fish all day and go home empty. I have actually gone swimming for my lures. That was awesome. Can't say I would be so driven if it was winter. But on a nice summer day on the Wilson, I am getting my lure back. Look forward to your next videos.

[@davidmajor8553]

Awesome summer steelhead. Nice

[@davidcrews6170]

Jordan is a cool cat…. Flashy, kinda reminds me of dog the bounty hunter, except he’s more well spoken. Totally want to fish a party with him.

[@geralddavis9236]

Amen plant more fish I live on the willipa river in Raymond there are very few steelhead left mostly wild

[@user-xs2kh1ne6c]

I was literally laughed at, at an Oregon hatchery for throwing a mad dog pink worm with yellow tail. An hour later they wernt laughing anymore. I had bled two nice chromers. Then sat and ate my lunch and watched them wait for me to leave. I took a nice hour lunch. Giggling the whole time, watching them search their tackle box! 🤷‍♂️🤣

[@chiquilin27hz]

35" summer but I still learning At least I'm not the only one the one only catch one fish a day. I like the video guys.

[@desocratic]

1000th like. One of my favorite videos on this channel, and I've watched a lot of your content.

[@pinhighdiscdyes]

Of course I'd prefer there to be big numbers, but it's kinda nice to see you guys struggling to find them at the beginning cause we get to see you hitting all these spots and how to fish each one different.

[@martinbass8876]

This was cool. You guys are fun to watch, and I learn a lot. I like how you guys show what your using and how your using it.

[@martinbass8876]

I never caught 1 .. But Im on track to try for this Summer Run I will be on the water

[@canadianphil421]

That’s awesome it doesn’t matter if I catch it or my bud it’s just as awesome

[@TheeSett]

Also when you said "dont leave yet i know its boring but we will try to make it exciting" i wouldnt leave anyway i love you guys 🙄

[@edwardkline796]

Marlin. Once you get your worm on the hook perfectly just simply count the rings to where the hook comes out.

[@sandrajones3921]

Very beautiful fish

[@tylermorgan5903]

Love how in depth you guys were's how simple you made fishing look again love these videos

[@eagle197034]

Gorgeous gorgeous fish. Way to go guys.

[@chrisstaelens9854]

Jordans comment "it's more like a workout video" lmao got me dying

[@gregoryhansen6347]

At 33 min when Jordan was doing his homerun cast I think I saw an eagle dive into the river.

[@richarddorion3806]

I’m coming soon but the flooding might stop me from leaving for a few days. Summers watch out I’ll be there for a tussle.

[@mitchratzlaff9605]

Fun vid guys. Thanks.

[@darrendrake3222]

What a hog. Great catch guys. Ive been fishing my ass off all summer and haven't had any luck at all... WE MEED MORE HATCHERY FISH DAMMIT

[@mbeieler]

Great episode!! Real life PNW fishing!!

[@gy56]

I caught a 18 lbs summer run about 5 years ago on the Cowlitz river. I went down this past June hooked a 8 pounder steelhead again on the Cowlitz, but I was using my new guide pro select teamed up with a Shimano Stradic 2500.

[@leviwendt2976]

Can't wait for steelhead to start running up here in northern BC!!!

[@joehills3689]

LMAO...."Exactly....Snagger!!!"

[@billwalker4836]

My personal best Summer run lol..I was perch fishing on the St Joesph river where it dumps into Lake Michigan late june with a perch rig and minnows on a 6' Lightning Rod and 6# test line the fight was over before I knew what happened. It was peeling line off and hit the surface once and was gone. I said wth was that and the guy next to me said probably a Skamanie. Never fished that pier with less than 8'rod since...

[@basscaster2023]

Forgot the chesty, forgot the 6 to 12 rod....I forgot to watch the whole video...but I watched the whole thing. . . because I was eating in front of Computer.. great video

[@arbormac2373]

I like your videos, they are entertaining and informative. To answer your question about the stealheads I run into them everyday on the road, they always cut me off in traffic.

[@mflambert]

nice summer, so rare...

[@philhildebrand9266]

Nice fish Jordan...see you kids this friday at the live event

[@AddictedFishing]

Phil Hildebrand Sounds great!!

[@darvinwebsterjr3483]

Awesome video good job Jordan nice fish

[@billwalker4836]

It's been some time back in the 80' the St.Joesph River in SW Michigan... loving referred to as the Jo received some 50k fingerlings a year and an additional 250k fry steelhead we had tremendous fishing for years our catches were from 5-8# up to my personal best of right at 15# so I agree with you the more the merrier. They continued stocking and added some Summer runs from your Skamani and Umpqua rivers. You have to hit the runs just right now says or go out in the lake and a report from north of us recently was talking about the Lake Trout being the target species...bring back the Steelies and the spring run Browns and Coho's

[@greglucero8714]

Jordan's denim jacket is gangster as f@€k!

[@zachariahmelchisedeck2244]

36" 14lb Kamloop is still my personal best off of Pend Oreille Lake. I would love to catch a steelhead but I am from eastern Washington 😂

[@northforklures275]

Great video guys!! Entertaining and educational!

[@Joe671]

Awesome video. I've just recently started fishing for summer steelhead with no luck but this gives me hope lol.

[@Reelpeelingadventures]

Try green body silver blade blue fox #6 Instead of 5. and instead of tying to the main, put a trolling weight like 1/4, 1/2, 3/8 Oz then floro 17pound tied straight to the lure it's going to drop that weight into the system instead of hitting on top in fast water it'll keep you in that two feet strike zone with those blue fox since they love to ride the top and it also makes your blade act totally different instead of riding like a wheelie it's going straight forward following that weight you will have 100% more success and never lose a fish with the number six

[@michaele8157]

Loved this episode

[@TheEverLovingOutdoors]

You get a like for carrying your baby across the stream. Lmao

[@StaceyMayer]

First time viewer! We thoroughly enjoyed you two characters. Beautiful photography! Subscribed!

[@AddictedFishing]

Stacey Mayer Thank u!

[@OregonUnpaved]

Another awesome vid guys! Yep it takes all day to hook one but you have to be happy with one good bite these summer days in OR/WA.

[@FunTime-ph9mv]

Thanks for the new video!

[@austinsonger388]

Jordan is a badass! Rod on hip like the Excalibur!

[@wildduckmigrations4294]

Great episode, working hard on local water with a hog summer Steelie!

[@TheOutdoorNerd365]

You guys are 100% right about smolt plants. You think it’s bad for summers in SW Washington? Look at the coastal rivers. 129,000 smolts in 2017...for the whole Washington coast (grays harbor rivers have 90,000ish of those are two rivers. One of which was FAMOUS for both summer and winters. I’m going to drop a river name, only because there is no summer run fisheries on it. The satsop should have summer runs on it. It has great runs and pools. It gets ZERO summer plants. It should get lots of winters too, but honestly, 34,000 is way to few. People used to come from everywhere to fish winters here (I’m in Elma). They used to put like 250,000 winters in the satsop. That’s cook creek (Quinault) numbers. Funny how the tribes (who many say are the stewards of our natural resources) don’t feel to concerned about planting the right amount of fish. The Quinault have actually rolled back those numbers on cook creek from over 400,000 to 250,000 or so. I think they had WAY to much surplus after smolt predation, ocean fishing/predation, nets and sports fishing. Our current stocks can barely hold up to a week of nets and some sports fishing combined with the other factors. Even pinks can’t cope. Yikes.

[@squid435]

This time last year I was a turkey with its head cut off didn't know the stuff I know now

[@dirtyoregonboys1234]

Good work boys. Some beautiful fish here in the PNW! My biggest was about 9lbs ✌🏻

[@NWRuss]

Sums up my experience with steelhead as well here in Oregon on a certain river.. I have yet to catch one tho
