Catching Trophy Fish In Downtown Gatlinburg! **Catch, Clean, and Cook**

[@tennesseesmoky9012]

Gatlinburg is always a great fall and early winter trip. As long as you spend some time hiking in the SMNP and trout fishing. Be sure to make sure you have the proper fishing license and the required city trout permit. Salmon eggs, Trout Magnets, Roster Tails, and a can of whole corn nuggets is all the bait you need. An ultra light action spinning rod loaded up with 4lb or 6lb his heart-vis line, a small sinker, small hooks, and some BB split shot so do it for tackle. Add a stringer and a good filet knife. Enjoy! - Tennessee Smoky 😊

[@donnunley4561]

Would love to see you guys do a Pacific Northwest salmon trip. The twins did it a while back and it was a hoot. They didn't seem to have clue what they were doing but it was fun to watch.

[@daleevans3250]

26 degrees sure makes that old sandy beach look better. For those that have never experienced it, 50 degrees in the beach wind can feel like 30 degrees in the mountains. Nice trip, glad you all enjoyed yourselves

[@Lockjawfishingfl]

Great video! Love the Gatlinburg area, It's where my wife grew up! Glad you have diversified your channel and share it with all of us! Great that you included the bacon grease goddess in the video!

[@skyfarms92]

I live near Gatlinburg, fishing is really good there in the early spring. You can only keep fish from the first of April to November.

[@SOGOnic]

My wife, who is allergic to fish BTW, always gives me crap for fishing in downtown Gatlinburg but I always tell her, the fishing can be awesome.

[@Pathippie]

Lived in Gatlinburg 15 years and am always amazed that so few people know it is CATCH AND RELEASE SEASON! I tried to warn the "fishermen" who loved parading their catch up and down the parkway. Nobody listens! The folks selling the daily permits should inform people!

[@stevecarrero4120]

Nice to spend time with your wife like that. Keep up the great video’s. I appreciate them.

[@benitofattafaducci]

Great video, guys. Brant, you have your fingers in so many pies I don't know where you find the time and energy. Nice to see the Bacon Grease Goddess with you and the way she was bustin' CMR! Got a friend that lives in Gatlinburg. Guess we'll have to visit him. Thanks for the consistent entertainment.

[@quitefrank123]

Keeping it fresh & new… enjoyed the watch.

[@sweetpea8091]

Melanie you go girl, nice fish..We stayed in that area for two weeks, loved it.Yes I like to see you fish different areas. You never know what you may find.

[@bacongreasegoddesstv]

[@rickleyh2192]

Hey Brandt, bring your wife into upper Minnesota/boundary waters for a great series of fishing vids. You’re so great together, just love it.

[@michaelromer7115]

Love the CMR taunts. I love the relationship between you, CMR, and BB. Go clickbaiters !!!!

[@mlsjustice4671]

The scenery is beautiful. Lol....why leave.🥰🥰🥰. Maybe one day yall can come to Missouri and go to roaring rivers. They have some beautiful trout there. Check out the cave spring while you are there.

[@thevintagemale1960]

OK Brant, gonna give you me secret wild trout recipe after living 5 years in Idaho flyfishing. It was my standard creekside breakfast. Take that fresh trout prep as you did here, fill inside with butter Salt and Pepper and Jalapeno, just the skins. Wrap in foil toss in coals, make some scrambled eggs and voila, you can eat the fish with the Jalapeno or pull it and just get the mild bite of the spice. Oh so easy, oh so good,

[@jasonfarmer103]

Muskies, muskies, muskies!!!! I'd like to see you go north and try for some big ole musky (pike will be mixed in as well)...

[@jamesbrown6048]

Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge is a great area! CMR would win the bet in the spring and summertime when those waters get HAMMERED! You were there at the absolute best time to catch fish with most visitors not fishing. Great video... absolutely fun to watch.

[@christophercostello8210]

Trying new places to fish has always been a great up lift in spirit. I think the more you explore, the more joy you will find in fishing...Happy Holidays

[@justintrudeau8271]

I like seeing you wear that Blazer Bay hat!! Great video Brant.

[@2007dixiegirl]

I do enjoy the outdoor videos. Changing it up is always nice.

[@timhancock5431]

Loved the video Brant...Melanie calling out CMR lol...like when you fish new spots, enjoy the change in scenery 👍🇺🇲

[@AnglerUpTv]

👍

[@kevinparish]

Love the change of scenery, but saltwater is always my true "jam!" Fun video, and it's always good to see Melanie! Melanie put the smack-down on Ron. Poor Ron! Great trip! Thanks for taking us along! Cheers!

[@stevehogan8829]

Ah, just what I needed. Brant in Gatlinburg. This should be fun. Oh oh, it's the Christmas sweater. Wow,, that's a heck of a morning Trout fishing. Never knew the Trout fishing was that good there. Yes, as long as it fishing then it's good. Trout fishing there's also Catfishing up on that area. Lots of KZbinrs catfishing up that way. Salt, Fresh, it's all good. I'm almost finished with my treatments and rehab. Should be able to start fishing again in the 120 very soon. Brant, I'm going Sunday with a guide out in the Everglades around the Miccosukee Truck stop off of 75 between Naples and Miami. Great Large Mouth, Real Nice Peacocks and the usual more than you can count Oscars. Ah, the mountains are a nice break for the land of palms.

[@res519]

the rainbow trout in missouri like minnows or velveeta cheese or marshmallows or corn.

[@tonyanderson4934]

Should have got you a little jar salmon eggs the red ones they have yellow ones too but you got corn so that's good

[@marymathis9299]

Thanks for the video of the TN trip, that was sweet! Love you guys!! ❤❤❤

[@lonnyschwartz8628]

I caught a couple nice ones off the first bridge 5 years ago. We were there for my sons football team playing in the turkey bowl! Great memories!!!

[@AnglerUpTv]

👍

[@ericHTTR]

Different locations and targeting other types of fish is a great idea. Brings its own set of challenges and using more of a variety of fishing techniques. Would be great content to keep adding to the channel. 🍻

[@thomasmeyers9529]

Big fan of you traveling and fishing and getting a little feel or taste of the town.

[@mikelee4687]

Mountain bridge monster. I enjoy your travel fishing videos. Thanks

[@chrispyo7894]

Best line in the whole video… “we shoulda flew.”

[@stevelaswell9499]

I know where y’all are at the harder fighting fish (2nd) look at it’s tail rounded off from the troughs at hatchery the second tapered and squared off that fish has been in there for a good bit and knows how to run and use current rather than wiggle his way in. Love the Rambo pole drop wtg Melanie! Love Gatlinburg great video y’all! 🎣🎣

[@AnglerUpTv]

Interesting information

[@eastcoastoutdoors902]

Like adaptation stuff

[@johnc6228]

I love videos with Melanie.

[@josephdisselkamp2586]

Not that you need any advice, but for stockers I use anything that resembles a feeding pellet. For everything else, a white trout magnet. And maybe Camera man Ron should be Camera man omic ron. His trout catching skills are variant!

[@deliciousfishes1126]

I wish I could give two thumbs up. I gave one before I watched the video. Wish I had one to give for Melanie catching trout!

[@markdarragh6620]

Any chance you can put a polarized lens cover on the go pro? Would be nice when you guys are sight fishing.

[@w420beers]

Melanie smokin' CMR on the trout, with corn kernals even lol! Way to go!

[@danielpease4534]

I'm from TX and my mom lives close to Gatlinburg. So gorgeous up there. Loved the vid. Can't wait to see what's coming up next

[@williambenner5550]

I love virility! Especially trout fishing! This video reminds me of fishing for stock rainbows in Susanville California right in the middle of town! Then traveling way up the Susan River to catch wild rainbows and brook trout. There is also Willow Creek, which is known for its wild monstrous brown trout! Average size is about two pounds, but I know people who have caught them up to 10 pounds (though rarely). You should come out to either GA or Alabama and fish the Chattahoochee River in the wintertime to fish for striped bass and hybrid bass! Let me know, and I will be glad to guide you on where to go and what to use!

[@davepavlick1925]

Had to rewatch these TN videos...up from TX and fishing the Tellico tomorrow.

[@geostoned]

Whole kernel corn for trout bait.

[@billmccullough2323]

Those were some nice Trout!! I don't know how you learned about Trout Magnets, they should be call Trout Magic!!! You should come to Arkansas and try some of our Trout fishing and meet the guy that makes Trout Magic. That would be a cool video. There is also other great fishing too! WTG Melanie! First Trout got on quick. You should offer CMR Trout CATCHING lessons every time you see him! LOL

[@filegumbo]

We stayed up in the Gatlinburg mountains a couple of years ago. The directions to the cabin up there were so confusing that we were terrified of having to navigate it at night. We made sure we were back every day before dark.

[@NHOutdoors]

I’m just now seeing this and I was the guy fly fishing by the bright 😂

[@NHOutdoors]

Bridge

[@josephlassiter6896]

Absolutely the taste is different. We called hatchery trout "doughbellies". Crazy watching you fish where I used to fish, when I lived in the mountains. Now I live where I can fish all your spots 😁

[@lbeliel4128]

We fish a hatchery stocked river and an unstocked river a few hours from our home. I agree with your assessment, stocker trout is gamier.

[@fayetaylor4466]

As always it was a hoot watching you fish. You always teach me something or maybe a different way of doing it. Great video Brant

[@jeffreybaker5757]

Great video as usual! To you comment regarding switching things up-personally enjoy seeing the change of scenery. Head back up there in the spring and target smallmouths. I targeted them in and around PF for the first time over Halloween weekend and caught a couple small ones plus a good 2.5-3 pounder. Was a blast and much different than simply targeting trout.

[@FishingWithDamon]

Dang that vid smacked dude fishing season is done here guess I will just have to watch all your videos to compromise 😂

[@chatchit42]

Definitely enjoy watching vids like this…..very informative. I’ve always been interested in finding out where to go on vacation with my family, BUT be able to keep myself entertained with activities I like to do, like fishing. Moreover, finding a place to stay where I can literally fish in my backyard is my dream vacation. Similar to this video, I think that would be a great idea for ya…..exploring different vacation spots that allow for easy fishing excursions. Keep up the awesome work!

[@julianking5207]

Whoo go melanie!!!

[@stephenhallick9479]

Great video as always. Congrats to Melanie on her first trout! Heck, I thought she was gonna grab it & unhook it herself! Stay golden!

[@kxry4679]

5 years and 1 day ago was the gatlinburg wildfires! Miss my hometown, plenty of great fishing there

[@kurttrzeciak8326]

Would be interesting to see you try to do some burbot fishing around Lake Erie. It is a really delicious though it is not known about down south. Also, come up and try for some big and aggressive musky!

[@bartwilloughby2909]

Still in the 80’s here on the Beaches of California 🌊

[@philiph1802]

Being so close to the Tennessee River you should definitely take the time one year to chase some stripe bass. I think some of the biggest freshwater atrope bass on the world comes from right here in East Tennessee.

[@AnglerUpTv]

👍

[@larryd4352]

Nice sticker Rainbows!!! The only time I have caught Rainbows even approaching that size was in the mountains of Northern Arizona, in the area around Pinetop. The Brown Trout did get really large...like around 22" ..and really fat! 22" was the largest I ever caught...where we were it was all catch and release...but still...those Brown's really put up a fight! Now days...I would need a flat surface to fish from....my left leg isn't stable enough for me to go climbing around on rocks. Oh...glad to see you using light tackle fishing for those Rainbows!

[@gregnelson532]

You are near my neck of the woods.. I live by the Bristol motor Speedway..

[@mjoe877]

Nice trout brother! As always love your videos and your catch and cooks. Regardless of location, all are good as long as the lines are tight and you are having fun!

[@mritolduso7355]

Great video Brant, glad to see the Bacon Grease Goddess with you!

[@DathanDroid]

Awesome Trouts dude, I wouldn't eat any on the southern part of Gatlinburg because of city run off.

[@jameswengier4430]

I would second the halibut trip or just Alaska fishing in general. Nice to see a different trip. Like the Florida videos a lot but you have asked the ?.

[@shawnknowles2205]

Winter is coming would love to see y'all on the ice.

[@SouthwestKayakFishing]

Plan a Clickbaiterz trip to Cabo San Lucas (San Jose de Cabo) and fish off the 26’ Pangas for Yellowfin tuna, Mahi, Wahoo, and Marlin. These trips are a blast! The resorts are all inclusive and surprisingly affordable! Eight years ago it cost us $1200 each for a 3 night stay. That included airfare, two days of panga fishing, and the all inclusive resort.

[@bradmiller1647]

Enjoyed the mountain fishing. Just started watching the channel, looking forward to seeing your “back to normal” fishing.

[@neilchristopherdaniels]

Love it! Way Cool! Dig the content! Now that Mel is fishing a bit more, how about a Clickbaiterz wives fishing challenge?

[@dixienormous8-----D]

Damn I need to get on the water

[@derektucker2970]

I miss TN. I lived in seymour for 10 years and knoxville for another 10 years. You are roughly 20 mins from my house

[@joeyhelton7114]

I’m definitely no pro angler Brant but a Carolina rig with power bait catches for us here in NC. Gentlemen who taught me owns a home in Colorado and says the same method works there. Just food for thought bro. Awesome video! Love the catch and cooks.

[@Jaysupafly1]

Power bait doesn’t work in gatlinburg man we tried it no go used salmon eggs nothing worked so used nightcrawlers very big trout there

[@rayhall3010]

I love this video , and Miss Melody caught her some trout ,,

[@robertbatesjr8262]

Pay up CMR lol. Good video looked relaxing.

[@Flmf1984]

Man! I was just in Gatlin on a family vacation and wanted to wet a line there soooooo bad but there was no time. Awesome Brant!

[@AnglerUpTv]

Appreciate it

[@eastcoastoutdoors902]

The variety is nice🤙 idk abt the rest of your loyal followers but an Alaska trip would be lit. Alaskan river fishing

[@williama.walker2287]

I am guessing that those big trout were brood stock from the hatchery that were stocked at the end of the season. They looked like larger versions of the usual stocker trout.

[@rsully513]

Love the video! I definitely dig the hat as well! Hopefully that's a little Easter egg of what's to come in the future!

[@ricks2907]

Great fish. Thanks Ricky 💃🕺🏼🎶🐈‍⬛🎸

[@jerdew]

You should hit Cherokee Nc $10 1 day permit $17 2 day permit. 10 fish a day limit and you can catch lots more fish than in Gatlinburg. We hit Gatlinburg once a year and Cherokee about 5 times.

[@brandonboggs2445]

Ahhh miss it there. Tons of groundhogs over there in that stream too. Some were coming up to people looking for handouts last time I was there.

[@socalbass758]

Awesome Vid! Would love to see more FRESHWATER fishing!!!

[@salteastsimon]

Up next Brant catches a mountain musky. All jokes aside, looks nice and relaxing to catch stream trout.

[@shawnaustin8957]

Real cool

[@shawnpross32]

Pay attention to rule and regulations when you go somewhere to fish. It was delayed harvest when you were keeping these fish.

[@TheOutlawHatfield]

Brant, next time you go to East Tennessee try your hand and catching some big blue cats or flatheads.. You'll have a blast.. Great video man

Great job on the trout. Keep them coming. We are planning one this fall.

[@brent4200000]

Brant I want to see a southeast Alaska halibut trip. If I could describe how awesome a trip to Alaska is in words I would. But there are none!! It was a bucket list for me and I cannot wait to return!

[@stonecutter205]

The first time i rolled a whitewater kayak was right past that bridge !

[@tomallen8995]

every bridge that crosses the creek up there is a guaranteed stocker spot. They pull up on the bridge and turn the shoot on for a min. and move on to the next every thurs. No fishing on thurs.

[@bbarken95]

I was hammering the trout at the first spot you tried just about 2 weeks ago folks on the skylift were having a hoot watching me crush’em
