That's not fishing, that's poaching farm raised manipulated rainbow trout. Go west and go to the snake and flathead rivers and use flies. There is no greater rush catching an all natural native trout that has never been raised by human hands. They starve the stocked trout purposely so they will bite. It's not even a challenge. You did not earn the fish you ate.

[@charlieyellowstone8248]

They paid a lot of money for the right to fish there and as far as I'm concerned, they did earn the right to eat that fish.

[@COLE_and_JAY]

@@charlieyellowstone8248 it was $4 haha

[@charlieyellowstone8248]

@@COLE_and_JAY REALLY??? I figured a hundred dollars or more! 😃👍

[@charlieyellowstone8248]

@@COLE_and_JAY That, plus the fuel to drive up there and you probably had a hotel room and you know-it-all adds up. I haven't been down there in about 8 years and it's such a beautiful place. I will subscribe to your channel. 👍

[@rrmerlin3402]

This just shows the importance of trout fishing ......Look at this excitement . Go catch these fish in a remote location by yourself and you will never be the same

[@jusnuts1443]

Now that, definitely, reminds me of the late 70's and early 80's when I was a kid. Trout season began, I think, on the first Saturday in March. Everybody and their brother was lined up along the bank to get going at daylight. The game wardens would blow whistles to let everyone know it was legal time to fish. Then... The crossing of the lines ensured. And it was just accepted that lines were going to get crossed and snagged. Few people got angry. If they did, they either left or were told to shut up.

[@COLE_and_JAY]

That’s exactly how it was here! Shotgun went off at 6:30 and it was a trout beat down and line tangling fiasco the next couple of hours! The fish went from really dumb to Albert Einstein in a very short amount of time haha

[@PatrickMarbury]

Great to see Roaring River in the video. That was the first place I ever fished as a child and caught a fish. Crazy enough as it may be, JD Dudley who owns and developed D2 jigs, that you caught the big trout on, and his father were with us there for a church trip. That is where my love of fishing started and led me to working in the fishing industry. Also, it’s not always that crazy there that is a special weekend for the trout season opener. I would hate for people to think it’s not a great place to go.

[@COLE_and_JAY]

That’s awesome, those D2 jigs are money! Roaring river definitely did not disappoint! We had no idea it was going to be that crazy out there, but we are very glad we went! Hope to make it an annual thing! Thanks for watching!

That's just like going to a State Fish Hatchery and plopping a bait into one of their rearing ponds or raceways... or fishing the fall run of Chinook, Coho, or Steelhead at the Salmon River in Pulaski, NY!! Not my kind of fishing, but you all surely had a great day of catching. And those wraps!!!! And I haven't had my dinner yet!!! Really nice to see Jay's mommy X-2 tummy showing it's face. And so glad that she has a cozy chair to rest in... all she needed was a hassock and her fuzzy slippers!! Her face was so aglow... lovely.

[@johnroberts5602]

Opening day at Roaring River is the aquatic version of the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. I went there 5 years in a row back in the early 90's. It is indeed insane, but the opportunity to catch a 5-10lb rainbow brings fisherman from hundreds of miles. Since they release some fish is October to spawn naturally there are a few giants in the river on opening day. Most of the year stocker size is the main fare. Have a blessed day. Love your adventures.

[@COLE_and_JAY]

It was definitely a crazy fishing experience! We hope to make it up there again next year for the opener and maybe go back later this year when it’s not as crazy haha

[@AUTiger1964]

Once, long long ago, while working with a client construction superintendent in Eastern Kentucky, near Lake Cumberland, we decided to go trout fishing. As we drove into the park area on the down stream side of the dam a state fisheries restocking truck passed us on the way out. Fishing with small Mepps spinners each of us caught our limit in about 15 minutes. Of course, being just released hatchery trout they were all small compared to yours, but no doubt tasted just as good. That was a nice stringer of rainbows!😊 Good to see Jay hanging in there! Baby girl will be here before you know it.😊

[@COLE_and_JAY]

It’s always fun when the hatchery truck shows up! These fish hadn’t seen a lure before but it didn’t take them long to get scared haha

[@williamjohnson3226]

Looks like you could probably use a bare hook there! Went to some trout ponds with my dad once using cane poles with a piece of corn as bait… I was little, but I remember taking the corn off and used a bare hook and caught them. I remember feeling that it wasn’t much of a challenge and knew I never wanted to do that again as it was very unsatisfying that it was that easy. All grown up now and if the fishing isn’t a challenge I don’t do it .

Once when I was young we went there and I was walking on the sidewalk which is up from the river a little way. I wasn't used to fly fishing and as I was walking I kept hearing "zip, zip, zip". I kept looking around not knowing what it was. Then i realized it was the fishing lines flying back all around me. It was amazing I didn't get hooked by at least one. Needless to say I walked back to the car farther away from the river.

[@COLE_and_JAY]

When the alarm went off saying it was time to fish at 6:30am there were lines and fish going everywhere. We are surprised we didn’t witness anyone getting hooked! I’m sure there had to have been some casualties with how many folks were there 😂
