Big Brown Trout On The ROOSTER TAIL!

Super ultralight trout fishing? Yes please. I got out for a full day of trout fishing in great weather conditions and was able to catch several brown trout, including one jumbo. I used a handful of spinners on this particular day but the MVP has to be this Brown Trout color Rooster Tail. It might just be a new confidence color for me.

I loved fishing with my dad, especially trout. As a game warden, he taught me to all about the special handling of a trout. He also taught me to let it go by placing it in the water, sort of cradling it. When I was 10, I think just my second trip out, I tossed a trout back in the water like a bass or bluegill and he took my fishing pole out of my hand, scolded me severely, packed our stuff and we left. I’ve never done it again. Like my father, I respect trout. We are their stewards.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah I could have done a better job releasing these fish. To be honest, it is quite difficult to get them back in the water properly here unless you have waders. I tend to be standing several feet off the bank in many areas.

[@vegetablejoe2389]

Thanks for posting the lost spinner and tree cast scenes. Things we all experience yet most YT-ers omit from their content. Also couldn't agree more on the trash infiltrating our fishing spots. Finally I am a HUGE inline spinner fan so glad you had success on the Rooster Tail.

[@FishAnything]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I make videos reflect the full story of my day as best as I possibly can.

[@brianathern9154]

Holy Canoli sports fans we've got a tank brownie. Nice commitment to landing that beauty. And the realism of all the spinners you had to donate to the snag gods to hook that fish. Well done brother. Blessings Ethan

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah Brian, thanks my friend!

[@midwestfischerman]

I'm also on the board for 2023, caught a largemouth yesterday yo-yoing a red lipless crankbait. I was so elated to hook a bass in open water....IN FEBRUARY! It was the earliest open water bass catch in my life!

[@FishAnything]

That is what I am talking about! Nice work buddy.

[@russellcook8867]

“Butter my biscuit! I don’t know why I said that but just do it.” 😂 Love Michigan trout fishing!! Awesome video!

[@FishAnything]

Haha thanks Nate glad you liked it

[@reelextremefishing]

Excellent trout video. I agree with you about trying to clean up the local waterways. I sometimes will bring a trash bag with me, Come back to the same fishing spot and see the same type of litter.

[@FishAnything]

It is disheartening :(

[@midwestfischerman]

I miss trout fishing in Michigan, what a blast!!! I do love bass, but the fight of trout and salmon are unmatched.

[@FishAnything]

Both are wonderful! I just love fish lol

[@fishingmaster99]

Just recieved my sets of BRONCO BLADES and MULE JIGS - PURPLE!!! finally did them thank you!!!! Ethan

[@FishAnything]

Right on! Tight lines out there Jim :)

[@kirkgeno6077]

Well butter my biscuit 😂😂😂 that was next level color analyst work throughout landing that big brownie...love it!

[@FishAnything]

Lol I got fired up Kirk!

[@midwestfischerman]

Regarding the garbage, thank you Ethan for calling it out. I'm proud Michigan was the first state with bottle and can deposits. I am old enough to remember life before the deposit; our expressways were disgusting trails of trash.

[@paulmajor5585]

Come return mine.

[@FishAnything]

We need to take that a step further and figure out plastics

Thank you guys :)

The most satisfying spinner hookset ever occurs at 16:35 ...I will be sure to pick up some mule stuff to try this year and look at on my channel. Thanks as always Ethan.

[@FishAnything]

It was smoooooooth haha thanks man

[@chriskerr6500]

Mule fishing needs to market those gloves next winter. 😮

[@FishAnything]

I have thought about it. I will see what I can do.

Ha! That commentary was legendary!

[@FishAnything]

Lol glad you enjoyed it. Trout make me weird.

[@CatchReleaseRepeat]

@@FishAnything You and me both! I took my 8wt fly rod out on the Milwaukee river last weekend hoping to see if the steelies were starting to run. Instead I landed a 28" brown and ended up speaking in tongues. 🤣

[@justinbecker947]

Wow that river is near identical to one here in wi! Awesome vid!

[@FishAnything]

Sounds like a good time :) Tight lines Justin.

[@eabaskervill]

I saw the IG post, so I had to check out the whole video. Brown trout fishing is a blast and that big brown was a true beautiful brown beast.👌

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah, thank you Eduardo!

Man just watching that rod load before you set the hook is buttering my biscuits lol can’t wait to get out there I’m in pa and don’t have a whole lot of creeks near me but I found a few I will be trying in a month when the first day of trout opens

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah man hope you get after them!

[@anthonymcfarland3563]

That's a fine fish. Looked like a firetiger rooster tail. Browns seem to like yellow based lures,and gold blade's.

[@FishAnything]

It was the Brown Trout color, somewhat similar to the firetiger. Thanks Anthony!

[@jonpogue427]

I would like to see you try to catch some bass and blue gills with that Rooster Tail!!!! I have and it's a blast.

[@FishAnything]

I will do that this spring. Thanks JP!

[@FounderOf4]

Love seeing the new Bronco blade in action. I'll soon be trying out those new goodies that you sent out last week

[@FishAnything]

Thank you so much, Mark.

[@BrianKuhl]

We’re all a little crazy to be throwing line and hooks into water, but when it leads to a great moment like you had, I think it’s the juice. Good clean living 😊.

[@FishAnything]

Thank you Brian! Always a good time :)

[@losingbigfish9473]

Great video really enjoyed it. You got me all fired up to go fishing. Too bad it’s blowing about 50 miles an hour here.

[@FishAnything]

OOF Hope you have got out recently :)

Guys! For once, Ethan isn't pressed for time! Let's go!

[@FishAnything]

:D it was a full day!

Great looking fish. They're so pretty. I've never really tried for trout, but they look super fun to target.

[@FishAnything]

Hit me up one of these days and I will take you here :)

[@micahspilker9322]

Enjoyed seeing ya get out and get some trout. I like the brown trout rooster tails similar to my favorite “grasshopper”. JDM rods are fun, SUL and XUL make the fighting that much better.

[@FishAnything]

Darn right Micah! It was a blast, and that finetail is a sick rod for this type of fishing.

[@danthompson1467]

Great job looks like fun 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍

[@FishAnything]

Haha sorry man!

[@javieracosta8884]

One thing I've notice is when a spot gets alot of pressure you have to think outside the box.

[@FishAnything]

100% agree!

[@gleamtarrest6310]

Try the 500 Soare BB 2022. Or the 2022 Sahara 500 2022.. they are both better than my Nasci 500. Or if you are feeling Froggy the Vanford 1000 or the Presso 1000.

[@FishAnything]

Heard great things about all of those. I will check them out :)

[@itsjustme5097]

Enjoy seeing you upload. Keep it up man I've been learning a TON from your videos as a fresh angler Question: I got the TFO Trout and Panfish Light 6'6 and I was wondering if the sz 1000 on the Shimano Sedona is the right match for it.?

[@FishAnything]

Sorry for the delay! I would say a 1000 will work just fine, but a 2000 might balance a bit better. Either would be great as they are very very similar.

[@itsjustme5097]

@@FishAnything okay thanks

[@cpsullivan69]

Noooo! Lost a Bronco Blade?!? Hopefully, you know where you can get more! :)

Awesome day of fishing. What kind of boots are you wearing?

[@FishAnything]

Muck Boots Edgewaters!

[@austinmachado2580]

Black and yellow PMs have always got me my trout. Seeing this makes me think I should pick some off-norm colors for off chance bigs. I keep asking in my head every time I see them, but I love those gloves! Where do I find them?

[@FishAnything]

These are Turtle Gloves. Small company in Michigan! And yeah, the natural browns and blacks with a hint of yellow seem to work best for me too.

[@DMllr66]

As Nike always says “butter my biscuit” lol

[@FishAnything]

Lol trout bring an extra dose of weird out of me.

[@seizedcarcass8440]

How do you prevent line twist with inline spinners? I love a rooster tail but it just twists my line so much

[@FishAnything]

I haven’t had a ton of issues, but it sounds like a small swivel would be a good idea to add.

[@midwestfischerman]

12:15 "I still haven't made the cast that I really want to...." DONG!!!! TANK ALERT!!! What a strike!!!

[@FishAnything]

Lol I am glad you caught that

[@RamonOutdoors]

Trout fishing is always a good time. Are those native browns?

[@FishAnything]

Browns are native to Europe (not America). These fish are a mix of stocked and wild.

[@RamonOutdoors]

@@FishAnything Right! I meant Wild. I always get native and wild mixed up!

[@jacobgarcia5644]

Have you ever looked into phenix ultralight rods? If so I recommend the mirage series

[@FishAnything]

I am considering scooping one this year!

[@jacobgarcia5644]

@@FishAnything great if you looking for a jigging rod I suggest for the phenix dragon fly but that’s one of there higher end rod and if you want a all around rod I suggest getting the phenix mirage it’s a great rod for drop shorting, jigging and great for spoons and little crank baits or little jerkbaits

[@chiccenhawkc]

💯🔥💙👍

[@FishAnything]

Tight lines :)

[@seadoe]

hey ethan do you think the shimano sedona 1000 is a good reel to pair with a dobyns sierra trout and panfish 6’2

[@FishAnything]

Definitely! I love the size 1000 Shimanos. I like the Nasci more than the Sedona for a few more bucks but both are fantastic options

[@seadoe]

@@FishAnything awesome!!! good to know i ended up grabbing the tfo trout and panfish in a 6 Foot 1 peice and pairing the sedona with that used it on the water with the new bronco blade jig spinner and absolutely loved it the action is amazing on the bronco blade can’t wait to use it again this weekend hopefully

[@kdogoutdoors971]

What rod is that ?

[@FishAnything]

I talk about it briefly in the video. Majorcraft Finetail!

[@5.7.0bassin2]

I believe what most of that litter was from a flood but ppl can be sad at times and leave their trash behind

[@FishAnything]

Yeah, litter all finds its way in our waterways. We need better systems and more responsibility as a full society (myself included). Endless consumerism and wasteful packaging is certainly a big factor. Whether we intentionally litter or not, we have too much unsustainable trash which inevitably ends up in our waters and ultimately the ocean.

[@shermanou1337]

Rooster tail is a deadly lure for trout. I think you are too use to fish with jig, you don't have to set the hook so hard for spinner. You could pull the lure out from the fish'a mouth with that strong hook setup. Gentle and steady.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@fishingmaster99]

Everytime my gf and i go fishing we take a garbage bag and literally fill it by the time we leave to go home. Pisses me off

[@FishAnything]

It is sad.. Thanks for doing your part!

[@venomous7321]

thought i was gonna sub then i saw you throw the fish back into the water L

[@terristroh3965]

Def not cool on his part. I’m with ya.

[@FishAnything]

I understand they aren't the most graceful releases but in most cases I was standing several feet above the water with no clear ability to get down on the water. I try to care for the fish as best I can but I am not going to put myself in a position to fall in and fill my boots with water as that would be problematic. Thanks for watching!
