Fly fishing: a sport that can make very experienced fly fisherman look like noobs in front of everybody

[@swahili42]

Tarpon.... Tarpoff

[@GoodBuddyFlyFishing]

That was great man, glad you were able to get into a couple.

[@tannerburk9528]

lmao i get these notifications every monday while i’m on the bus so i just think abt the video all throughout the school day

[@RodrigoVargas72]

You DID trout set.

[@tyabshireoutdoors]

Less than 30 seconds in, and it’s a HUGE Fly Fisherman making HUGE fish fly...man 😂

[@patmiller4535]

Awesome vid! Wanted to say 'thank you' for running that fundraiser, too. It's a great cause and equally great opportunity for a fellow angler! Enjoy the sun; we have some snow waiting for you at home :)

[@MrMurf2you]

Cracking me up! Love the snake guides from the tip pointing opposite direction from the butt. Boat load of laughs and fish!

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Even the Little one are so strong , and the snook are just so cool looking. Stay Huge !

[@MyPancho1]

I guess there are a few resident Tarpon there in NW Florida....the baby poons are load of fun though... I lived in Fairhope, AL for about 5 years so had an opportunity to do some fishing around there...

[@farmerbob4554]

Great day on the water and some nice catches. Those mini-Tarpon are really acrobatic and strong. I wish you would have gotten into some bigger Ladyfish. I’ve caught them on the fly in TX and they spend more time out of the water than they do in it. I totally enjoyed the video and your comments.

[@monkeybrainze]

I bet Greg would be a decent fishing guide... He should try it out.

[@rolandbracher]

Looks like a very fun day. Electrical tape is the go to for about everything...all my electric buddies started smiling and nodding . We 've been there and done that!!

[@gnb3472]

I always laugh at myself when I fuck up a cast. I love that you do too Ben. It's fly fishing !! Just have fun !!

[@danielburgess7785]

My PB tarpon was 44kg caught off the east coast of Costa Rica. On a fly rod and yes, I almost pissed myself when it slammed the fly. That was... 1991-ish.

[@paulwong3359]

Great Fun , with all those babies !

[@peteacevedo3411]

That was great and I did drop by the store to buy a shirt. Fits great and like to support the channel.

[@simonmikulash9929]

The fishing looks great, love the longer videos!

[@luisalfonsoarias3763]

So much fun. I really enjoy every second.

[@drrichardbauer9085]

Very good touch of humor man. Keep it up!

[@proferod]

So, our "Huge Fly Fisherman" does the best Michael Scott/Steve Carell impression.

[@user-ij6xs4ut7j]

Nice video! Awesome fly! Where in the panhandle? Visiting there in two weeks! I enjoy all your videos!

[@Hannah-md9eo]

"Can we just use a spinning rod?" ahhhh... the sound of defeat!!!

[@fronylol]

Would love to see maybe you and about trout tackle some pike in NM! Especially now they are eager.

[@natehall234]

hey i'm snook i'm a huge fly fisherman hahaha

[@justin20099]

I wonder what his search history looks like for the video a with all the pictures😄

[@ryanbaisden1288]

I also am a troutset master when in the salt. I always feel so inept. Looks like you had an awesome day out there.

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Just have to fish more :-)

[@lucasdement5629]

Im a troutset master on streams but I still dont catch anything

[@finncook3939]

I’m the opposite which is pretty funny cause I mostly fly fish for smallmouth bass and I’ll strip set on trout and pull it out of their mouths a ton

[@davidfeng6120]

The longer these videos, the better!!! Saltwater fishing >> freshwater

[@RosinFlyFishing]

Great personality haha I enjoy his humor

[@adamhaller6753]

Would enjoy seeing you do an episode going after steelhead with a switch or spey rod.

[@Coenen2517]

So many sweet PB's brah!

[@charlieboutin3341]

That’s a Huge change from mountain stream fishing for sure! Great video..Thanks! 👍🎣🍻 (how’d you make the paddle tail, it says below it’s not plastic.🤔 Promise I won’t tell anyone your trick!)🤞

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

It’s made of cloth. Not my fly.

[@charlieboutin3341]

@@HugeFlyFisherman Thanks very much! I’m honored by the reply! I think most flys are just improving somebody else’s. I’ve come up with versions, but will never claim any fly as my invention. My Huge t-shirt arrives today! I’ll wear it with pride! The stickers are already on truck and kayak. 🙂Thanks again Huge!

[@DanAcondaOutdoors]

BEN! Yo, I love your channel, and i’m a fellow CO fly fisherman (more like a tiny fly fisherman, lol). Anyways, love your channel and personality. I’m headed down to the Florida Gulf in a week, any tips on flies? I’m targeting tarpon, snook, pompano, trout and reds. Any info is appreciated 😃

[@tinoyb9294]

I think you could catch most of these fish on a Tenkara pole! "Excuse me set".

[@carsonjewett3349]

how do you deal with the knots like at 2:44? i always get them and it's like knots inside knots and it takes me like an hour to untangle the knot after I've cut the fly off ugh

[@Jcd6789]

Love that they’re fishing from a gheenoe.

[@Charsept]

I just got back from the keys where I tried this but not having a plan, plus Eta, was my undoing. 30 pound fluoro bite tippet?

[@snowfreak551]

“There” x1000

[@memphistigers777]

Hi I'm snook and I'm a huge fly fisherman 😄😄😄

[@vadimgavrilov5093]

love your vids man

[@denisburke4083]

Great Video beelch.........

[@michaelnorman8115]

i did not know tarpon and snook were available in the pensacola area. i woud like to make that trip. do you have any contact info?

[@tommymarelius]

damn thats a cool video, i like this shit. I love flyfishing

[@garydunne1692]

Superb👍

[@jordanrowe9097]

How many casts did you make with the front half of your rod loose? Lol, all fun and games till half your sage ends up in the ocean!

[@thomasgibbons353]

Nice nice nice

[@derekconley4285]

you should try fishing for arapaima sometime!!

[@DylanWOWilliams]

"Can we just use a spinning rod?" I think that often...

[@chaswaitt6854]

Best video ever

[@robertroemer6505]

Mike!!!!!

[@coreytohme9861]

Does Ro- errr Greg still have his white river flat boat ( I think he called it the low card)????

[@austinelliott2798]

Good video. You could've used a Tenkara.

[@ejsulli20001]

I'd fish with you any day!!

[@fishwiththesmile6216]

funny, "Its more like a gudeline...."

[@ericjudd7188]

"There".."Aww"....."There".."Aww"......"There".."Aww"..."There".."Aww"......"There"...."Yeahhh".. "Yeah" "Yeah"..."Kept tight"..."Kept tight"..."Kept tight"... Haha I love it

[@paulwong3359]

How many have you had? you were belching a lot! lol!

[@jameshanson8774]

Footy for the boys boys

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

A few words about gear would be useful. Weight rod, line type, leader material and weight. Also difference between trout set and strip set, which clearly you have mastered ... lol would be nice for many of your viewers.

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

See, here’s the thing, that stuff isn’t important to me. Here’s your video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWbPaaKYp7x7r7c

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

@@HugeFlyFisherman I'll agree the videos people put out where they spend 30 minutes taking gear are annoying. However, I've never fished for those species and knowing typical gear would be useful to me when considering it. How long does it take to say 8 wt, floating line, 30 lb flouro leader? Or maybe even in the description.

[@jimpage8777]

@@HugeFlyFisherman my buddy who hardcore chases baby tarpon in that same area and who I fish with when I am down there uses 3 wgt through 6 wgts in the winter months and 7 through 9 in the warmer months .... summer months you can hit much larger tarpon, jacks, snook ... you can land tarpon under 18 inches on some pretty light tackle ... lightest I go in the winter down there is a 5 wgt ...but that is in very specific areas where I know the tarpon are all under 18 inches

[@vacherie_boy]

The only thing better than catching your PB is if you catch on grape jelly

[@georgepretnick4460]

Are you using a bamboo rod? It sure looks and sounds like it.

[@tannerlambert7151]

Do a video on poling a skiff

[@pedromonti7227]

What i’d do to be fishing right now .

[@RedBoatMark]

How do you have time to make these great videos and also sing for The National?

[@FISHFORLIFEFISHTODIE]

old greg

[@mikebbb30]

no pike?

[@Christiantoney1]

whats that red and yellow rod??

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

Sage bass rod

[@nosemovie]

Where's the two peeps that downvote these every week? Did you win em over?

[@tyrobinson5705]

Is tarpon

[@dylancarter4422]

I want to be a huge fly fisherman

[@waxknucklebearingjuice5592]

The fishing is amazing in Florida... Everything else is complete trash.

[@stephenhumber9763]

"... long rod athlete." "I told you there was pike in here."

[@flybandito4736]

Greg repeated almost every word you said. lol

[@det282]

You use chicken as chum, don’t you?

[@drewc8065]

Commercials suck. I understand though.

[@MM-tt3np]

burp channel

[@paulkremer5054]

Ben you gotta work on your belching technique. Way down deep in your belly man.

[@jimpage8777]

That isn't the panhandle of Florida .... that is central Florida ... nice casting for a trout bum

[@mattdoesflyfishing]

The snoek your end seem pretty well behaved. Our snoek have long poisonous teeth and are bitey Mcbitefaces and have no problem stripping minorities of their rights.
