Catch and Cook Trout Raised from Volcanic Springs!

On a beautiful day in sunny Northern California, Fisherman's Life and I take a trip and go fishing for fresh trout - not just any trout, but these are raised in the waters that come from the springs of Mount Lassen (AKA Lassen Peak), which is the southernmost ACTIVE volcano of the Western United States. These springs are thought to provide a key ingredient in the production of healthy, strong, muscular, and great tasting rainbow trout. The waters that spring from Lassen Peak are clear and cold, and run through at a higher velocity that make the trout healthier, stronger, and therefore, better tasting.
In addition to trout, I was surprised by hooking into a very nice striped bass (~28") in this lake. We end up catching and cooking these trout a couple of different ways. Be sure to check out Fisherman Life's channel for an upcoming episode on his portion of this really fun trip!

Hope you all enjoy this trip as much as I did!

Good video brother. Next time u cook cave man style try using hard wood instead of charcoal. Charcoal has chemicals in it lighter fluid. The flavor will be so much better using hard wood. My favorite is apple wood but any hard wood will work. Even drift wood wood be better than charcoal. Cheers from east coast fishing game and camp!!!!

[@alexcarter8807]

Depends on the kind of charcoal. Yeah, Kingsfords has lighter fluid in it, dass why you let it burn down for a while. But there are traditional charcoals you can get. In Hawaii you can buy bags of locally made "kiawe" (acacia) charcoal.

Like everything else, it's the guys who sell the gear who really enjoy things the most.

[@j.rdirtyfivethirty1673]

I been bactracking watching some of your older videos. I hope your channel blows up as big as matts. Can't wait for the day you guys make it up here to the North State Black Butte the sac River lots of good fishing. Y'all make a good fishing tandem

[@ozzleoni6609]

3:04 Must be special water that allows the "dead tree growing".

[@tjjanalaska8674]

That looks so good! Love that color in the meat. So satisfying seeing that cleaned bone carcass at the end. Nice video!

[@Ms_Tania]

Eating fresh fish caveman style ???? ... Hell ya !! ALL DAY !!! lol I can confirm that 'some' people eat their fresh fish without spices nor lemon , what better way to enjoy it's natural flavor . Cooking and eating it so soon after it's caught and on the fire like you did must be SOOOO delicious . Can't get any fresher than that !!

[@tomthorn2887]

Looks great! I have always placed rocks over the very hot coals and then cooked the fish on the rocks. The rocks between the fish and the coals help it cook well and over fast. That's the way I have always understood how to do it. That fish looks good though.

[@SlimeDonkeyTV]

Great video! Great idea, the natural flavors of fish can get lost in the abundance of flavor enhancers.. Those fish definitely taste great modified, but can taste just as good, if not better with no additives. Yum.

[@MisterYem]

Finally KZbin has something good to watch again. Glad to see you are back! Nice catch and video! Was kinda sad that the skin was burnt. That is the best part for me. When is crunchy on the scale side but soft and oily on other. 😋

[@janetgilmore8006]

My man took me to a river that dumps into the north platte in WYO. In an hour...in a log jam i caught a grand slam ,a brook trout, a cuthrought, a brown trout then a rainbow all around 7 pounds exept the brookie it was 5 pounds.....thank you Mr. Grey.................The allmighty loves us...?

[@Orlando-ho4jo]

Awesome video! Its great to finally see some good rainbow trout videos bay area style. Looking forward to more of these videos especially as a catch and cook.

[@peacefishtail2438]

[@strikevince14]

great work bro. appreciate the tips you and the experiments you do cooking and fishing. keep it up

[@Max_Distance]

"there's a dead tree growing here" GOLD

[@kamakakaitoku4554]

I thought the same thing😂😂

[@b20egsix69]

Been binge watchin your videos and Matts videos the past few days and I really wanna go out and do a catch and cook now. I haven't caught a fish and cooked it on the spot in years. Keep up the great content bro

[@kennethho8663]

Nice video! I can't believe my friend and I didn't notice it was you guys on the kayaks until it clicked later with Matt's post! Sad days..We were fishing from land that day haha Maybe we'll run into you guys again someday. Keep it up!

[@philosophyd]

Oh yeah? Hope ya'll caught that day!

[@240skavenger]

What lake is this Kenneth Ho?

[@maricasmith2688]

Really like that you showed the whole unedited video while fighting the big stripper. Nice one!

[@tekkenfight3006]

now i'm hungry.. thanks for the vid! keep it coming!

[@amin3196]

In the morning I have seen this video from fisherman life camera. In the evening I am watching it from your camera.)

[@eddiepadilla1078]

Thanks for sharing the location! Another great trout spot is Lake Pardee--you should max out fairly quick.

[@Marlonscrazy]

I love the simple plain cooking that’s super cool! Great stuff dude.

[@shadowfoxx8396]

Love the adventures you go on

[@richardchan811]

Great to see you putting out videos again, dope tunes too

[@vuyanling1305]

I haven’t had foods all day and you guys are killing me with the way you were eating that delicious looking fish... :-)

[@dartagnanv8der613]

Bro, you and Matts started the fire for me to go back to fishing. Keep up the good work! 👍🏽 Correction: ALL YOU GUY GOT THE FLAME GOING 😂🎣🤙🏽

[@ju58russon]

Omg my mouth was watering watching you eat that 😋

[@BudoFishing]

Great vid! Making me hungry!! Those Lassens are delicious!!

[@mrkva1338]

You and Fishermans life are the best youtubers btw you are verry fit

[@Adamantium830]

Can’t forget outdoor chef Taku!

[@x4x665]

I guess we all have our own reasons we enjoy the videos

[@FishHawk]

Good stuff! Nice fish!

[@izraelleon]

The moment the reel busted with that big fish on the line I was like WTF!!

[@BeanieNinjay0]

Reminds of when I lived in Cali and would fish for rainbow trout. We would catch the grout, wrap them in tinfoil and put them over a fire. So good. Better than salmon in my opinion.

[@TenRingGaming]

Philosophy D's recipe: Caveman style. Fisherman's Life recipe: Just a "little" bit of butter. Alert the judges, we have a tie! Both of those fish looked mouth watering good, man!

[@ericaustin1182]

Awesome! Glad to see a new video was starting to wonder if you were still fishing. I like the catch and caveman cook idea too!

[@russellhubbard1]

Great job finessing the Striper...

[@kellywaggoner6703]

Cooking it in butter in a pan would've made this fish taste a million times better...saving the taste of the skin too.

[@stephencgr5228]

I watch fishersman life videos... i liked it catch n cook

[@josephwright8526]

Love your show D! Hey buddy, my grandfather taught me a technique for gutting trout that is so cool it like opening a can of beer. One motion takes the two front fins and all the guts at once. Anyway buddy hit me up on FB under Joey Wright. Also, I live on a boat in the CA Delta, I'd love to take you and your boys out to catch some Salmon, Sturgeon, Strippers, Cats... whatever. I'm a fishing fiend and love what your doing brother, keep up the good work. All the best.

[@stevelee2384]

According to Matt, crabs have a vertebrae and according to Danny, dead trees grow. Now I've heard everything lol

[@reborn727]

[@bigalmaden8042]

You are one of the few anglers I seen in videos who actually play the fish and not pretend you are in some bass tourney and real the line in so fast the fish is almost on the surface being dragged in.

[@MrMonkeyGeorge]

I love the blooper lmao. Great video and welcome back. I hope you're doing well brotha.

[@chrisy.8789]

Just watched this and your video footage is crystal clear! What camera did you use?

[@treeblue770]

I like it 👍

[@theraven8985]

LETS GO GIANTS

[@bboySteeezy]

Dope intro bro

[@colhourpower]

Were you using the Flueger president? I had problems with that reel too first time out. I spoke with another fishing buddy and he said that where the line comes off the spool is shaped flat, needs to be coned out not flat, so line comes off drastically, especially when you have light tackle, I got used to it after a few birds nest. then i changed it out to my shimano, and no probs...

[@mikeanderson3549]

WHO WAS THAT SINGING IN THE INTRO? GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL.

[@carbsplays7638]

When I heard foldable kayak I was like omg fisherman’s life kayak and Ik I saw that vid

[@richarddowner4292]

I love Watching Your Videos.. This video Music (drove me crazy) just did not work... You could have used the Jaws music, for the reel in's of the fish!!! that would make it more of a HOLY COW Moment. anyways, Holy Cow them are BIG Trout..

[@VTsimpingSan]

Do you rinse the fish in the water you got it from or do you bring your own water source?

[@tinamariefarmer4419]

mmm yummy!

[@Brock_Landers]

Buddy, I don't know from personal experience because I don't eat fish, I just catch them, but when you gut the fish you're supposed to run your thumb down the bloodline in their spine and get rid of the blood or it could taint the meat. It was that dark line running right down the center of the fish when you held it upside down. I'm not criticizing you, it's just what I've been told since I started fishing.

[@onthego9825]

Sure you know this, Trout meat turns pink and get that Salmon taste from being from being wild for a while eating crustaceans for a while, hence the salmon taste....

[@j.jeffreymiller5594]

Yo Mr. Phil D.....Matt won't do it.....could you please go up the coast for some yummy razor clams???!! We'd all appreciate it for sure!!!....(i'M sTARVIN')!!!

[@chalo186ga]

Great video

[@nhmetalheadcoreyroberts6321]

u should do more trout videos man

[@adam_sings]

Question: Is it a nice one? :P

[@rogerwinston9461]

Did you keep and cook the striped bass?

[@ygelementdgentertainment7525]

Dame I was disappointed with your first lost fish lol I feel like I was fishing and a little mad it got always but more mad because the line got fuck up by losing that drag lol but better luck next time.

[@CheezyDewitt]

That was awesome. However, I wouldn't cook it that way ever again. Wasted so much opportunity to turn that into something even more amazing than it already was. Peace.

[@kevsgonefishing]
