Day 3: Cooking Abalone. Fishing for Trout, Salmon and Rock Fish *SOLO 1,600 Mile Fishing Road Trip*

[@kripsak]

7:10 I've experienced quite a few unexplained things while fishing. One particular experience that still pops in my mind was fishing beaver dam up in Utah. During that trip, I had the feeling of being watched and hearing voices. I didn't say anything to anyone about it while we were fishing, but I brought it up when we were driving home. Most of us heard the same thing, and they also didn't bring it while we were fishing because we thought we were just trippin. Also, when we first got there, no cars/people were in sight, and when we left same thing, no cars/people were in sight. A few days later, I just had to google "beaver dam haunted utah", and there's some interesting info about beaver dam Utah. We caught a few finger sized trout, probably won't be going back there because I'm sure that place used to be a nice stream decades ago, now its nothing more than a tiny brook.

[@Eli-ko6gl]

kripsak why was the place haunted? What happened?

[@7ILLEVANS]

kripsak as Hunter s Thompson said in "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas"... Finish the f$#@ing story man... what happened lol ... what did you find out about the haunted damn?

[@tehotea3810]

Lol hope he's still alive. Horror story 101

[@kirandoorgapershad3081]

What happened at the dam..... I have to know nooooooow!!!!

[@kripsak]

When we first got there, we were all excited because a buddy heard that place was pretty good to fish for trout. We parked the SUV, and proceeded to walk down the pathway towards the stream along the mountain heading south. The stream didn't seem fishable, so we keep pushing south for an hour. We saw a lot of tree's that were cut down by Beavers, I guess that's why they call it Beaver Dam. Also, we saw a lot of Big Horn Sheep droppings all over, but of course we didn't encounter any them. Heading south only got us further down to a small brook that didn't seem pretty fishable, so we proceeded to head back. When we finally got back to our starting point, we thought about heading back home, but we decided to try heading north along the stream. 10 minutes walking North, the stream started to get deeper and a little wider, definitely got our spirits up. We decided to do a few cast, and we spotted a few 6in trout. We hooked up a few, and decided to keep going North. We were all hooking up with small trout, but I started hearing conversations towards the parking lot direction. I was thinking nothing of it, as I figure it was hikers nearby. We kept trekking North, as we figured it would only get better, but it didn't get any better and we didn't see any Beaver Dams. At this point, I started to focus more on listening to those conversations and looking more towards the mountain cliffs as I started to feel a little uneasy about the place. Every now and then I heard conversations, but I couldn't make out what were they saying. After we got our fill of catch/release small trout, we decided to head back to the SUV. We were kinda relieved to be heading back home, since we knew it would be a few hours drive till we got back home. After an hour of enjoying the nice SUV A/C, I brought up the topic of "Did you guys hear conversations behind us while fishing?" All of us responded, Yea with a nervous laugh! We all laughed because, we all thought we were going crazy and didn't want to bring up that subject while we were fishing. While we were discussing that topic, none of us saw any people/cars the whole time we were there. When we first got there, we drove all around the parking lot to give us the best path to the stream, no cars or people in sight. When we were heading back from the South trek, we stopped by the SUV to rest and park nearer towards the stream, again no people or cars in sight. When we left the parking lot, again no people or cars in sight. We all confirmed that we didn't see anyone the whole time we were there. A few days after the fishing trip, I still had that nagging feeling to investigate more into Beaver dam, and that's when I decided to type in "Beaver Dam Haunted". I found a few websites about ghost sightings, and hearing voices, very small info about it but pretty interesting.

Why am i so addicted to watch people catch n cooking fish i mean like i don't even eat fish that much and i never fish

You say "pound it until it's soft" and then I reply "that's what that girl over there(or you can shorten it to 'she' if you want) said"...it's a little immature, but it's in reference to sexual intercourse with said 'girl over there"...do you guys get it??

[@kvang84]

I understand that feeling you have about something watching you at 7:10. This one time I went fishing alone at this river up in northern Cali. The river was at the bottom of the mountainside kinda like where you are now. The side I came down at, it was sunny because the sun would hit it in the morning and during the day but the other side it was all dark with lots of trees and foliage. As I was fishing there for trout when I noticed it was way too quiet, no birds chirping, no insects, nothing but the light sounds of the river and it wasn't a raging river either. At that moment I felt like something was watching me, I felt this eerie sharp chill down the back of my spine. I started reeled in line. I looked down at my tackle box next to me and from the corner of my eye I saw something move. I looked up and that was when I noticed a strange figure peaking out from the side of one of the trees on the other side. It was tall maybe like 7 ft and peaked out from the side watching me. I couldn't make out the details just the silhouette because not enough light there. I started to get freaked out so I looked down to pack up my things and then when I looked back it was no longer there. At that point I just hightailed it, grabbed my gear and rushed back up the mountainside to my car. Never again did I return to that spot. Sometimes you gotta just trust that instinct... I felt like Spider-man with my spidey sense going off alerting me to GTFO.

[@jacobmawyer6057]

It's them fight or flight instincts that keep us alive. I've been in positions where I get spooked and just book it, especially when it's dark I fucking hate the dark.

That little trout heard you talk about eating him and said to himself" this isn't the way I imagined going out, with a little bit of butter, I'm out of here"!

[@ChuSupport]

He didn't keep the fish because it was 1/2 an inch short, even though he was excited to catch it. Good guy

[@Yaya-bb2gc]

Appreciate the effort you put into your videos. You deserve way more subbies
