Fishing Small Creeks for The Biggest Trout Ive Ever Seen!!

[@thegsmash]

PSA: if you are planning on releasing fish dont put it on the dirt and grass and try to keep it in the water as much as possible.

[@ryanharrod1155]

If that's a small creek I wanna see a big one. Looks like the river where I live.

[@allenpeck8239]

That Brownie was huge!! Congratulations man good job landing it. Good display of patience

[@joethekidct3927]

Good thing you switched from 10 to 6lb. These fish spook easily and you don’t need more than 4-6lb with these fish. I fished the southern tributaries of Lake Ontario my whole life. I’ve now moved to Las Vegas and miss this fishing so much!

[@connorclose3084]

Dude i don't fish at all but watching people who are super into fishing use all the fishing lingo and talk about it so passionately is stupidly entertaining.

[@ashiihipsycho]

I’m from NM. If that’s a small creek, I can’t imagine what would constitute a medium-sized river over in your neck of the woods. That “small creek” would be a raging river over here in the desert.

[@barrycooper8640]

I fish with 20lb braid and 15lb fluorocarbon hook length and I catch trout most days. They aren't to bothered, trust me. I fish with expensive trout lures and I want them back lol. I love your trout vids almost as much as your kayak vids bro.

When I release a trout I first take a sip of Pinot Noir while I cradle it gently in the water with my pinky toes. I then call out to the eagles “Screech! Screeech!!!” Finally, I take a bite of my truffle infused caviar before releasing the fish from my pinky toes to swim another day!! Bliss!!

Great fish man, well done. You worked for that and it paid off......Thankyou for sharing this session with us.

[@ShellyAnn1a]

Used to fish regularly until my stroke a couple years ago. While in Jr. High, dad and I took a weekend trip to hit the winter run silvers coming in from the Pacific. Cast a silver Krock-o-dile with a 0/1 treble, into a deep slack water above a farm ford. On my third cast a 40+ inch Chinook hit the spoon and shot out of the slack water right into some white water below the ford. It took me, with dad's help, almost 20 minutes to land the fish. It was a big hook jawed bull that tipped the scales at over 32 pounds. Holding it up for a photo, the fish's snoot was even with my nose and the tail was half way to my ankles. At the time it was all I could do to hold it up, back then I stood about 5'9". That was the biggest river fish I took. Was using a 7.5ft Roddy bamboo rod, 15 pound line, with a 20 pound leader and a Mitchell 300 reel, my second one. Still have the rod and reel today. Was using it the weekend before my stroke on one of our local lakes going after trout. Cannot get out and fish like I used to do, back in the early 1960's, so I enjoy watching you kids fish. - - - //es//A Proud Honorable Disabled American Veteran, 1965-1994 - Combat Medicine and Pharmacy.

[@mauricelangley5033]

Thanks for sharing, I'm currently in the PNW & the salmon beat me up pretty good this year! I landed 8 & lost countless!!

[@nickking1510]

Shelly from the PNW sorry to here about your stroke hope you recover and can go back fishing . Mitchell 300 I used them in in the 70 ies to the. Mid 90 ies loved them such a smooth drag. Merry Christmas from Canada 🇨🇦

[@will4918]

I hope you recover and are able to fish again.

[@ShellyAnn1a]

@@will4918 I am as recovered as I am going to get, I have problems with my balance and walking any distance with out a mobility device, a walker. Got my fishing license for this year and going to hit the fishing pond just south of where I live for starters. It is stocked once a year, with some fair sized trout. Last year I saw a guy take three 16 inchers out of the pond. So far there are only trout in the pond, but just like a pond that I fished while in junior high, someone is bound to turn crappie or blue gill loose into it. Have a canoe with electric motor, that I have only used a few times, hopefully I can get it up to my favorite reservoir and do some fishing up there this year as well. I want to be as active as my dad was, before his death, the year before he got sick he brought in a 40+ inch Chinook from the Umpqua river, he took it on a light weight rig, a short rod about +/- 5ft long, with an old Mitchell 300 reel strung with 6 pound mono line and using a 1/4 ounce brown rooster-tail lure, he was 79 y/o at the time, if he was still with us today he would be turning 102y/o on his birthday this year. He taught me almost everything I know about the out of doors. My largest fish measured 6'4" weighed in at 94 5/8 pounds, took it when I was 15, we were about 5 miles offshore out of Winchester Bay, OR. Was using my 7.5ft Roddy rod, my first Mitchell 300, strung with 15 pound mono line and an 80 pound steel leader, using double set of 0/1 Eagleclaw hooks and was bouncing a herring filet along the bottom when the fish took it. It took me nearly an hour to land it. Once in the boat, it nearly took my foot off when I slipped on the wet deck ended up with my foot nearly in its mouth. On top of that I limited out with two silvers, a buck and a hen and a buck Chinook that day. A fun day and the first time I ever got sea sick. The next time was 7 years later in the middle of a typhoon, the third day of it, in the West Pacific, while my unit was being transported aboard a LST to mainland Japan for a training exercise. My strangest catch was an eight foot octopus, tentacle tip to tentacle tip, caught on the reef on the South China Sea side of Okinawa. I gave it to some local fisherman, when we were done fishing and snorkeling for the day, the fisherman invite my friend and I over for supper, fresh raw octopus, seaweed soup and spiced rice balls, washed down with plenty of sake. Those were fun days, on days off it was going snorkeling, catching a lobster or two for supper, then laying in the sun on the beach or sitting around a fire cooking your lobster, then drink beer or sake until you could barely stand up, then sleeping it off on the beach. The JP's never bothered us, as long as we did not drive drunk. //es//A 70y/o Active (nearly) Outdoors Lady and Veteran

if you use a swivel from your main line to fluro leader run a tag end off the swivel and attach your split shot to it. That way if you get snagged it slides off and no damage to your fluro... try it! nice video though

If your going for stocked lake trout. Here's a tip. Use TINY HOOKS Powerbait dough balls. They ALWAYS work. You just have to find the right color for the day. Light line Small splitshots And honestly, let it sit with some slack out and only reel in a tiny bit every 10-20 mins. Honestly, where I am the bite hard and fast like trout you'll see that line go out . Keep your rod tip down, and when it pulls, pull up hard to hook it right in the jaw. And you know what to do from there if ur gonna keep em

[@al.trzy_blu.e]

[@Danny-uz9zb]

jimishmong What a stupid comment. Let me understand this; you follow "country" fishermen around and observe poor fish handlings and releases? That's an interesting point. On the other hand, you may just be an idiot. In the past, upstate New York has been plagued with hunters and anglers that come up from NYC that have no concept of gun safety or respect for the land and waters. Any serious trout angler knows what I'm talking about. These are the idiots that litter beautiful streams with Styrofoam coffee cups, beer cans/bottles, and trash.

For the new trout fishermen watching please bring a net and practice release management. Don't let them roll around in the dirt and gravel. These are very sensitive fish at a vulnerable time and how you handle them should be the 1st concern

People need to relax, the fish is fine and swam away into the current. If it was me, I would have coddled it gently and fried it in a pan. Kudos to anyone that releases a delicious fish regardless of the handling.

[@HDZippo]

Well, trouts immune system, is the slime layer that is on the fish, when you either handle the fish with dry hands. or laying it on the bank like he does in the video. that slime layer gets damagede. even tho the fish swam off it's most likely gonna die from fungal infection or some kind of other disease

[@allancrow134]

In BC Canada we use much heavier leaders. 15 lb is pretty much as low as we go. 10 lb leader is just too light when you are gear fishing in a river full of rapids and snags...you will break off fish and lose lots of gear. For bottom bouncing...replace your split shot with a 1/8 inch diameter lead core drop weight hanging on a three-way swivel with a mono loop. It won't wreck your line and you should be able to throw it all day without snagging. If you set the drop up properly your gear will track about 6 inches off the bottom...perfect for the taking -something split shot does not do. The drop weights and mono can be varied in length depending on the depth and conditions. You might have to search around for the 1/8 inch lead core but its worth it.

Nice fish man. Hey...when fishing those rivers...try using a Centerpin Rod and Reel. It makes trout fishing tributaries easymode and the fights on those 13 foot rods are fun. Also when fighting those trout you are losing them because you have your rod tip straight up in the air as opposed to applying side pressure which centerpinning will help out with as well.

[@PAandMDwoodsMan]

[@davidbeckenbaugh9598]

To prevent break off from line damage, do not crimp the split shot directly to the line. Where you would put the weight, cut the line and install a connector such as a swivel or split ring. Then tie on a short, 3 inch dropper of line to the connector and crimp the shot onto that. Not only will it not crimp the mainline but, if you snag just the weight onto a rock or something, a strong pull will get the line to slip though the weight and you get everything back except the weight. Just put another shot on and you are back to fishing instead of tying up an entire rig. You are welcome and it is good you got a knotless net. Now crimp the barb on the hook and use pliers to get the hook out, all while keeping the fish on the surface of the water, but not actually out of the water. You can get some great pics while cradling the fish on the surface.

Everyone stop fucking crying about the way he handles the fish, he did not handle them badly. The fish were in good condition and went back in the water in good condition, no harm done.

yo chris.. awesome video. thanks for sharing.. u had mentioned something about ur split shots pinching n causing ur line to possibly break.. I agree a 100%.. i mainly fly fish but seem to have that problem also. or should i say DID have that problem. what i do now is where i want the shot to be . I tie a simple granny knot n then put the shot above that n barely n i mean barely pinch the shot. yes it will slide but down to the knot n almost never slide up.. I'm sure you've herd this before. give it a try. some people have the argument that the granny knot itself will cause the line to break or weaken it.. i think i stand a better chance with the knot rather then the pinch
