(Bass NIRVANA) 3 DAYS in the WILD (225 fish) | Raft Camping Wild UP MICH River Full Film

225 fish caught in 3 days on this wild adventure with my dad. Wild, remote, and seemingly untouched river wilderness. This was the best trip of my life - an absolute banger of a time. The best - it was awesome, tough, rocky, remote, and full of challenges that we overcame.
I was not in a designated wilderness area so that is why I was able to use the drone.
In respect of local anglers I do NOT name any river/stream that I fish. Please respect my "no-name" policy and do NOT post the names of any spots in the comments. Thank you for understanding!

Thanks for all of your support, Haight's Wanderings

Fun trip ❤

[@HaightsWanderings]

@fishinwiththegriffins7304 Thank you! I have a bunch of cool trips like this on my channel.

[@RobBassMaster]

Guys… this place is insane! Awesome catches and unbelievable that these fish just attach your bait just stirring the water. Gotta love those smallies on a river! Blessings, Rob

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Rob BassMaster I know - it was the craziest fishing of my life.

[@toddshook5798]

Dude, awesome trip! I am guessing that you pulled the raft over a half mile of rock - you da man. I appreciate your father/son trips. Keep doing them every year that you can. I was able to do the same with my father for 22 years. I remember aspects of just about every trip. Priceless! I hope you have a very busy and productive 2022.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Todd Shook Thanks, Todd! I can guarantee that I pulled that raft at least a mile. I walked it for probably two. I cut out a ton of the rocky shenanigans as I was too hot and tired to film it. :)

[@HaightsWanderings]

Hey, guys. I know this is and hour and 48 minutes long. It's a film... so break it up over a few days! The first day is getting to know the river. The second day is the tough, touch, nature. And the third day is the magical fishing day. I hope you all enjoy it!

[@ericwakeman6665]

Ha love the Tommy Boy exclamation I say that all the time & people look at me like, “huh??” Lovin yer vids I share yer need for backcountry adventure my buddy & I are planning one now and your vids have provided great inspiration!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Eric Wakeman Right on, man! Which of my many exclamations is the one you're referencing? I love the backcountry stuff!

[@ericwakeman6665]

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Eric Wakeman Ah, yeah, that's a go to for me!

[@jimd4504]

Loved it , what a great trip. Can’t wait for summer. Thank you for sharing this adventure

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jim D I can't wait either! Looking forward to it.

[@geoffzech8886]

Great stuff Benjamin - thanks for taking the time to put it together and share it! Enjoyed watching you and your Dad and the little things like him helping you with directions for navigating the raft ;) and you cautioning about language (I laughed since I’m much worse!). Cannot wait to explore more remote water with Adam here in PA and out there!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Geoff Zech For sure! I am glad you enjoyed it. I have a ton of fun taking my Pops out. And, he did help at times :)

[@brib_brib_brib_bri]

That was bonkers, and it didn't help my already out-of-control cabin fever! I hope the insane fish count made all the portaging worth it. What a great trip, great video. I got in an extra hour of cardio today watching this on the treadmill. Thanks Haight!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Brian B Yeah, the fishing definitely made the portages worth it. However, I didn't show it in the video but I messed my foot up badly on day two and couldn't put much weight on it in certain positions. But, yeah, the fishing was epic.

[@mikefreaz]

What an incredible trip! Your content is awesome!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Michael Frees Thanks, dude! I am currently planning another full-send with my Pops for this summer!

[@jakemalloy5472]

How this guy doesn't have atleast 100k subs is beyond me

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Randy Lahey Love the name btw - good show :) And, thanks for the kind comment. I appreciate it.

[@danmccarthy2754]

I took a canoe ride from M38 out by the Military Bridge and floated to Ontonagon and Lake Superior. It was Walleye heaven and there were trout everywhere.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Dan McCarthy That sure does sound like fun. Did you have to portage any rapids?

[@danmccarthy2754]

@@HaightsWanderings I had to go around 2 falls, Irish rapids and the big Grand rapids. The area where the river meets the Victoria Dam confluence was a hot spot for 'eyes'.

[@conormulcahy6203]

Amazing video

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Conor Mulcahy Hey, man! Thanks. Glad you liked it. It had tons of fish, just none with much size. The fish your sister and pops caught were actually larger than those in this video but just not as many!

[@shmoob7]

The intro is soooo good. Excuse me as I watch this entire thing in one sitting (in the UP).

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Shmoob That's super kind of you. I hope you enjoy it! :)

[@randydoan1887]

nothing better then fishin with your dad...mines gone now but we had so many great times together.now i,m fishin with my sons ,hope there memories are as good as mine

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Randy Doan Fishing with family is great! I cannot wait to take my daughter out some day.

[@marcmiller1530]

Break it up? Not a chance! Good stuff. Have you ever watched any of "Lost Lakes"? He's all canoeing but reminds me of your kayak trips.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Marc Miller Definitely - I watch a bit of Lost Lakes. I love his remote river journeys.

[@Bazilli]

Next time you do this, you should consider a spring or a fall trip. Should be a bit different fishing, though you may have to battle through all those bass to get anything else, not sure. Probably don't have to say this, but skip that shallow part. Lol

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Bazillions Oh, yeah. I wish the skipping up the shallow part was possible. That's one of the reasons this spot is so difficult to get to. But, spring or fall could be really fun!

[@hockeyguy515]

“Catch. Release. Wander. Not cook ‘em up and wander.” 😂😂😂

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Hockeyguy515 Oh, yeah! Sometimes I break my own rules on my multi-day trips as I love the taste of fish. I just try to avoid killing them if I can.

[@Studmurrin]

Illegal to use drones in wilderness areas

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Studmurrin Hey. I appreciate the warning. Fortunately I was not in any designated wilderness areas. I made sure to check the laws before using it. That's why I didn't use it in Sylvania or at Craig Lake. Thanks!
