The look of those fish in the water blows my mind. Really stupendous fishing, thanks so much for posting this vid.

[@FishingForeverFilms]

This is just what I needed on a Wednesday

Chur bro

[@Topnotch_jigs_]

Same dude I can’t wait for season

[@waynenaylor5734]

That was frickin amazing, the size of those fish are just incredible. Lance is a legend for sticking with that fish and landing after his swim👊👊

[@FISHTHEDRIFTNZ]

Cheers mate 😂

[@levidorszynski]

That graceful dip in the drink, and those tank rainbows made my week 💯 Looking forward to more of your trips!

[@benjaminticknor2967]

You guys do as good of a job handling fish as any fishing channel on social media - great job caring for the trout and not disregarding the health of the fish in the name of the content (not that the content suffers at all - it's also top notch). It's great to see such good environmental stewardship - my hat is off to you!

[@TroutHuntingNZ]

Thanks buddy I appreciate your words🤙

[@joerx08]

Keep up the good work. I enjoyed the honest frustration in this video. It keeps a dose of reality in there that you're not just roping fish in a barrel. And there's nothing wrong with some spin fishing from time to time :)

[@jessenashvillejames150]

that fall... made my day.. that was great👍

[@TroutHuntingNZ]

Hahah yeah mine to

[@thedirtykitchenchannel9794]

NZ is fishing paradise when it comes to trout. U don't even have to try. Once after catching a monster (what I thought was a monster) my NZ compadres told me it was too small and to chuck it back! LOL, I said if I caught that one in Australia, I'd be on the front cover of fishing world LOL!

[@Codeonegammer]

"It's not bad too" - proceeeds to pull out a 5lb trout when all I have is 12" stockers around me

[@darrellloftin1466]

thank you for all the effort you put in to making these great videos!

[@marktomlinson8044]

Go Lance love the bit where he steps back and goes for swim lol looks so funny as before he goes backwards you can see the rock behind him ( in this video ) however funnier still he managed to land it well done mate !!!! :)) what a great video

[@romtome]

My Lord those are behemoth trouts. NZ'ers sure have the discipline practicing catch and release. Cheers from Colorado!!

[@kenlloyd5195]

you are watching guys who have a massive respect for the fishery unfortunately not everyone prescribes to this

[@chrisdowdle7769]

Not that I have ever fallen down while fighting a fish but Dan that was funny. Full immersion. I walked off the is basalt shelf and went swimming. I had neoprene waders on so I popped right back up. Cold water wakes you right up. I always wade with a belt. Good God, huge trout, these are river monsters.

[@christergoransson177]

What a fantastic start on this wednesday! In Sweden there is approximately 15 degres and a normal working day🎣👍🏻

[@hans-jurgenwilke6675]

oh wow, that`s amazing cool stuff, huge thanks for sharing

[@TroutHuntingNZ]

thank you.

Greetings from Canada, those are some awesome trout, great footage, nice catches and beautiful river. I should visit NZ soon 👍

Funny stuff aye

[@FISHTHEDRIFTNZ]

[@timmonapier8832]

Lance catching one while laying down in the water shows true commitment!!!! Thanx again for bringing this to us.

[@FISHTHEDRIFTNZ]

Cheers mate!

[@deanhoward3212]

Bro i have done 2 trips down from Taupo to the Mckenzie basin this winter and i cant get enough! The scenery and the high country atmosphere is truly special! And the fish are mystical beings to me. I am normally a meat hunter, but i cant bring myself to kill these sentient creatures. Love your work, and ill continue avoiding you at the hine! 🤣

[@evancosmos3292]

Big respect to you for returning those beautifull fish

[@noysreyhoung]

I really enjoy fishing videos and I want to see different ways of fishing in the world.Awesome video!!!

[@TXOutdoors]

Loved the video . I need to plan a trip there when the world gets back to somewhat normal

[@peterrowe6055]

Thanks for sharing! Awesome fishing. Hilarious video.

[@chuckhaas4412]

Doggone it, man-this is simply spectacular viewing! If I watch these at bedtime I get so jacked up I have trouble falling asleep. The caveat is that I have killer dreams of hooking into massive trout when I finally do conk out. Truly inspirational content as always!

[@toml.4291]

What weight fly line/rod for these fish?

[@rossquarles4219]

listening to him talk about the spin rod is hilarious "can't catch fish on it." Coming from Florida I grew up on spin rods. I'm about to start fly fishing and I was wondering the same thing about fly rods.

[@hectatusbreakfastus6106]

I grew up in Yellowknife doing spin fishing. I started fly fishing and caught a 5 inch brown trout on a dry fly and felt like a kid again. Trust your gut, get into fly fishing. It's the best way to fish hands down!

[@SamClarkschannel]

Everyone grew up spin fishing but fly fishing is inherently more fun.

[@alanluscombe8a553]

I love both and still can’t catch anything

[@magnusm8516]

¿Estás en Argentina? Hay una gran pesca con mosca allí, ¿no?

[@danielcannaday2207]

Awesome video as always, can't believe the size and quality of that fishery has to be a catch and release stream or I hope it is to keep those big boys in there

[@XJ_Crawlerz]

Catch of a lifetime... great job

[@TN.WoodsandWater]

Sweet video, absolute stunning fish! Very pretty country! I'd love to be wherever your at.

Another great video mate, can't wait to get back to NZ to fish, and I like your Toki. What is that slimy looking weed on the rocks? The rocks used to be clean and the water clear and pristine and now its grey.

[@joshfreer4353]

Love the video mate, Me and my wife are heading there in September 2021 from Aus ! cant wait

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

Fantastic Country and Big Bows.....New Zealand is on our Bucket list to come fish for certain.

[@michaelyoung1901]

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW! BIG TROUT.

[@thor_6886]

G, if you read a lot of the comments below there are many questions about the fishery - wild v stocked, land locked versus sea run, what they feed on, etc etc. Maybe give a bit of a lowdown at the start of the next vid in the series - I realise you are back home, but still...My understanding is they're mostly wild fish, migrate up from the canals to the headwaters running out of the lakes?

[@TroutHuntingNZ]

Cheers mate I’ll try and clear that up

[@davesiefert1257]

Wow 😳 love ❤️ it !! I gotta go 😎25 lbs CRAZY

Yup they love flies

@CoopDawg I haven't had any luck on the Truckee this year. Are you fishing up river of Verdi? I've only fished down river from there.

[@samcooper8924]

[@johnvanvliet3937]

Hi Gareth, why are these fish in this river so big, is the food change different to other rivers in NZ

[@macropod4811]

WTF can I say to this... I am so green with envy, great vid guys, I can only hope to get over the ditch one day to have a go... cheers.

[@jamespugh9214]

World class fishing! Seems every other fish is a fish of a life time! Only had the pleasure to fish NZ once and it was epic! If only I had a local with me, could of been the best fly fishing if my life 😍

[@TroutHuntingNZ]

Glad you enjoyed it. You will have to come back for another go

[@jamespugh9214]

Been a keen fly fisherman since I was a kid! Always wanted to catch a monster, but in the Uk 7lb or above is! So wish I did more fly fishing in the South Island, seeing the whales you catch! Loving the videos boss 👌🏻

@@TroutHuntingNZ Whilst Trolling fly rod on one side and a 91/2ft. Light with a old Mitchell 306 or Dam Quick and 20lb.braid a bunch of 50s Rapalas single barbless old wooden flatfish. As I popularized Fly Fishing by catching fish after fish at the local lake some 8 to 10lb. One thing during the non-bite well it attracts fish to my boat but they bite the fly mostly. But someday the sipping outfit out fishes well the best fly for trolling. But I humbly rank you guys number 1 in the world.
