[@BobStoneBoi]

I love Lone Pine. We used to camp at Lake Diaz, and dirtbike up through Alabama Hills. We have visited cerro gordo mine when the old lady still lived there. Beautiful spot and part of my childhood growing up. Owens river also has a few rainbow trout. There is also a trout farm to feed some fat rainbows.

[@rafterman59]

Love The camaraderie between you and your father. My son and I used to fish a lot in the snake river we would catch bass practically on every cast unfortunately I lost my son recently and I haven’t been fishing since his passing.I tear up just about every one of your videos I guess it’s because it brings back such good memories of me and my son we loved fishing so much didn’t matter what we were catching as long as we were casting we were happy.BTW my son was NAVY. thank you for what you guys do and may your God always be with you and keep you safe

[@virginiaallisonpeck2517]

God bless you sir. You must be so proud of your son. And broken hearted from his loss. I can’t tell you how much America appreciates his service. Love blessings and prosperity to you and yours ❤🙏🏼❤️🇺🇸💫

FYI: I ALWAYS WATCH TO THE VERY END ! SIN CITY OUTDOORS IS IN MY PERSONAL TOP TEN OF ALL Y/T CHANNELS ! I enjoy watching the diverse content with the perfect overtones of being THE OUTDOOR CHANNEL ! From your travels to ghost towns, to reporting on the current impact of less water in the Colorado River watershed and reservoirs, to your historical landmarks and research. Its all very, VERY refreshing to view. Now you have me frothing at my proverbial mouth when you mention that Julian drew a Nevada Bull Elk tag.... yeefreakinghaw !, LETS GO ! I love it! I'm a very young 61 at heart, ( I know, it sounds old, even to me) as mentally I feel 35 ! Lol ! I've had 3 spinal fusion surgeries in the past 6 years.... so I don't rather, I'm unable to hunt anymore, not a pity party, instead, switching gears to watch fresh talent as in your entire family, scout and call those bulls in ! Super stoked to see your whole hunt. You, your super squared away Dad, brother and I'm certain other friends and family are absolutely 💯 killing it ! And hopefully an Elk too. Wishing you all continued success and all of your fam,. the very best. Warmest Regards from Arizona

[@kdaze10]

[@auntbelinda6501]

Adrian, As soon as your video hits my feed, I watch it!! I LOVE what you & your Dad do!! Originally I began probably like many because of the crisis @ Hoover Dam, but stayed BECAUSE of YOU & SR ♥️ Y'all have such a "presence (?)" & manner/style in what as well as "how" you deliver each video that is so UNIQUE!! I am a 65 yr old grandmother in TX, originally from Los Angeles, CA ( as a child ) who finds everything that Y'all do, including hunting absolutely fascinating!! I would love for you guys to do 2 vids a week!! 👏 Bravo 👏

[@SinCityOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy the content as much as we do!

[@montanamtngirl]

I'm so sorry you guys couldn't get up to see Brent at Cerro Gordo. I know that road has washed out a couple times probably in the past 2 months. Hopefully another time. I hope you're having a great time on your vacation!!😁

[@sueshu1732]

love you guys, Thanks for what you do, Sr and Jr.

[@michaelkrais1446]

I love how you talk through the history and the present state of areas that you visit. Of course watching the fishing is always a treat

[@Jennstaple]

I remember the first time I caught a fish, it was a 4lb Catfish when I was just 9 years old. I had no clue what I was doing, I never forgot how amazing it felt to real in that fish all by myself. No i didn’t eat it lol great content yet again guys! Keep it up!

[@SinCityOutdoors]

It's a great feeling when you catch your first fish! Thanks for sharing and glad you enjoy the videos.

[@ronr7623]

Heck ya, I climbed Mt. Whitney! 14,508 feet elevation. 22 mile round trip. Done in 11.5 hours. Highest peak in 48 contiguous states. Breath taking view and hike.

[@cjcj5596]

Always excited for your guys’s videos 💙

[@SinCityOutdoors]

Appreciate it!

[@UncleManuel]

I didn't expect a shoutout for Brent and the Cerro Gordo mine. This brings back memories of the awesome help missions of HeavyD Sparks where he brought heavy equipment and materials up that gnarly trail to the mine. At no cost. Just to help and move Brent's project forward. Dave Sparks is just a good soul...😎😎✌✌

[@nalegtx8336]

Keep ding what you guys do. I'm adding to my wall with my kids. I was like your dad and didn't have anyone to take me, went outdoors on my own learning as I went. All about making memories with the family. Keep crushing it boys.

[@wrathchild666z]

When I was a kid ,I'm 58 now, we had a trailer out there and used to catch blue gill 100 to 200lbs at a time. Sometimes with a bare hook, crappie and bass also. Good Times!

[@walker50aaron]

California used to be an oasis with brown bears, elk and many other species. It's a shame to see what has happened and how nature was treated. Become a conservationist and help keep these great natural monuments here!!!

[@briansaenz4392]

Funny thing is they/we have a grizzly on the flag. They eradicated all of the wildlife in California. Especially the Grizzlies

[@californiamade5608]

Whaaat??? Lmao!! I’m a native Californian and this is how Lake Owens has always been for as long as I can remember! The northern part of the state is not desert and has brown bears and oasis. Ever heard of Yosemite? Lake Tahoe? Lake Tahoe is nice and full. As well as a few other lakes in northern and central CA. The area of Lake Owens averages 0.35” of rain per year. It’s basically a desert. That’s the diversity of California’s beautiful landscape. Desert in the south, beaches/oceans to the west, forest up in the northern and central part of the state as well as our food basket of the world. The Central Valley.

[@californiamade5608]

But yes I am aware of how the lake dried up. But it’s our harsh reality for water usage. Image if California was never as overpopulated as it is now? The large amount of lakes and water we would have next to our mountain ranges and in land. It would be beautiful. Even the Tulare lake bed in the Central Valley, once the largest fresh water lake west of the Mississippi, is now dried up since 1910 from water being diverted for agriculture with dams put up in the mountains. The water would come down naturally from the Sierra Nevada mountains here in CA. Giving the valley rich soil, amongst the best in the world for farmland. As it is today. But the drought as we know it is threatening a lot of farmland.

[@jimmycline4778]

@@californiamade5608 I heard people are leaving California by the thousands and coming to my state of Arizona! 3 of my neighbors are from California and said they would never move back!

[@lucasbuttalicka4521]

No conservationists are becoming a problem to ecosystems all over the world. There’s too many people trying to save “endangered animals” and it’s stopping the evolution of animals. We need to let everything just take it’s course. And no there’s really nothing we can do to kill all the animals because there’s atleast two extinction level events that have happened and here they are. Ex. Wooly mammoth - elephant Animal didn’t die off, it left a legacy and it will happen with the animals we know and love today.

[@vanessaburckhard3081]

Cool old towns. Nice to get new info on old places.

[@Christine_J]

I love Brent & Cerro Gordo! I would love to see y’all go back! I’ve been deer hunting once, many years ago, while I was still in the Air Force. These days I hunt with my camera and binoculars. 😁 I have nothing against hunting, and would love to try hunting wild boars and those dang nutria that are so destructive! Hope you get your big one Junior!

[@Mikeybdarealest]

This is actually a very informative video. It actually shows how much we need to take care of our world and utilize our resources sparingly.

[@dhowting]

That's the SECOND time the road up to Brent's has washed out. The first time he spent weeks with the help of local maintenance crews to get it back to being passable only to have it wash out again. Brent's drive and dedication is on a whole other level!!!!!!

[@missingremote4388]

1000 year flood. Should be good for nother millennium

Love all of your videos, and the history of the places you visit! Thank you so much! I do love fishing too, of course. In late 70's when I was very small, I would visit my grandfather in Traverse City, MI, and would go trolling on Elk Lake. Caught Bass, Sunfish and perch. My earliest memory is when I was 4 getting up before the sunrise and going out in the yard with my dad to collect night crawlers :)

[@josephprather1614]

That was a nice cat Jr. Your grandma will surely like that. I used to catch those all day long on Kentucky lake. Two at a time sometimes. About 18 ft. down. Happy fishing you guys.
