Fishing the BROWN TROUT Capital of the WORLD | Field Trips Arkansas

In this episode, my girlfriend and I are linking up with Cody Milton, 2018 Kayak Bass Fishing Angler of the Year, to fish the best brown trout fishery in the world: the White River in northern Arkansas. We're using a variety of lures in search of a true monster, and the fishing is absolutely insane. Watch as Cody and Jennifer put on a clinic, and find out if I'm finally able to outfish my girlfriend.

Dang it, Rob! You keep adding places to my “must-visit” list! I certainly appreciate it sir 💪🏻 I cant believe what a productive outing it was.

[@chrisreumont]

Wow Rob! You went from the star of the show to Jennifer’s sidekick. Lol 😂 Maybe she can hook some for you and let you reel them in. Great video Rob . You have the most beautifully shot videos on you tube. Stay safe.

[@stormyoutdoors4845]

Look at that .. 2 of of my favorite people . Well done #CodyYakfishing ! 👊

[@tommyvanleunen9939]

i've randomly fished that same stretch of river even though i live on the east coast. my uncle got me back into fishing in my early 20's by bringing me there for some trout fishing

[@PinCrusher777]

Where you said the Field Trips with Jennifer McGuire has more fish in it: I about fell out of my office chair. Awesome dude.

[@darinmcvey3064]

Yes you keep adding places to my bucket list for sure!! I already have a trip planned for broken bow area to trout fish there this November! Love the content mate!

[@LouisianaThibodeaux]

Looks like another amazing trip.

[@TroutMadeAnglerCo]

It is a very special place! The White is my heaven! Can’t wait to go back! Great trip!

[@jasonhartrup3447]

My favorite water. I love it when ya let everyone out fish ya. Good people.

[@BravoBassin]

great video Robert some beautiful fish.

[@scottehrlich6653]

Come upstream to Branson and I’ll buy boat drinks. Cody is one of the best kayak bass hammers ever. Over

[@YakFishField]

Hope you guys enjoyed this one! What are some other good places to fish for trout? What do you guys think of Jennifer?

[@theupstateangler]

East TN has good Trout.., and Jennifer is a charmer for sure. I love her excitement and I'm glad you're taking her on these adventures with you, you can tell she's having the time of her life..!!!

[@fightforever]

We have giant browns in Lake Michigan

[@ivaluebet]

That river looks incredible. Great video.

[@JS-hu7pv]

It IS incredible. It’s a 3-hour drive for me. The number of trout per mile is just insane. Caught a 20 inch brown this past Saturday.

[@kernlkajun1]

As you were catching and releasing, wondered why you didn’t replace those trebles with inline hooks. Got in late, I guess. Great video, nonetheless and thanks for the stick-bait lure tip.

[@gregharpo9369]

such pretty fish. looks like it has golden trout genes too!

[@jimfullerton9211]

Rob there’s always has to be the guy that catches the bait and holds the camera. Dang you guys killed it.

[@christianludvigsen5641]

Well it would figure! I live about 9 miles from where you are fishing but I had to be Jonesboro this week. Wish I could have been there with you two! Still working on a trip to Panama for my bucket list. Good fishing to both of you.

[@scottjohnson29]

Love your videos! Come fish the SOHO and Watauga rivers in East Tennessee.

[@laynelair2233]

Well you won't starve if you take her fishing! 😂👍👏

[@youtubzkoz]

love the bass tackle for trout. lol he needs a lefty reel. maybe it's good for slowing him down. love tiger trout on bass tackle and giant trout.

[@oldsmugglerflyfishing]

Amazing video!

[@masonking810]

First time I've heard you legitimately say 'what the hell?' Just keep the camera rolling buddy. Lol!

[@cuz129]

I caught a 19lb 9oz brown at Calico Rock. I think it might be the biggest trout ever caught that far from the dam. They rarely go that far down river.

[@f.sfishing390]

Nice one 👍🏻👍🏻

[@wadeknupp5808]

Other places to check out for Trout: The Green River near Dutch John Utah. The Owyhee River in SE Oregon near Boise Idaho.

[@wadeknupp5808]

Lee's Ferry AZ

[@milusikmancing]

She look so happy yeeeee Hello from Bali

[@ripmlipm2710]

False information about the world record brown trout. The LITTLE RED holds claim to the world record brown AND state brown in Arkansas which was 40 lbs 4oz. The recent catch was a white river record.

[@sambmendez2454]

Fantastic 💯💯💯!!!

[@robertfield5166]

Such a fun day!

[@southernbellefishing2683]

I had so much fun! Thank you!!!

[@billmitchell7731]

Like number 555. White river has good walleye fishing too.

[@johnmaxwell9963]

Come to PA and enjoy great wild trout fishing.

[@BasicFishingNZ]

lol the way your girlfriend is holding the reel is ladylike at 8:16 but that was a solid take. must b fun landing trout on the bass gear. i got myself a curado dc but had no luck landing the trout with it XD lol those brown trout had impressive looking patterns

[@billmitchell7731]

New subscriber from Arkansas 👍🏻💛🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@wadeknupp5808]

I wouldn't float at night, but the last time I was on the White I threw a dark Shad Rap for 17 Browns Back to Back!

[@wadeknupp5808]

In the Dark!

[@sissywalker1955]

Dont feel bad dude about her out fishing you. If I was swimming around and the two of you were holding your arms out calling to me I would swim to her everytime.

[@YakFishField]

Hahaha fair point

[@applejuice-3341]

Fish the white every year. What a great place

[@patschubert2662]

Kudos beautiful brownies! Better tell Jennifer she's still the prettiest catch in the boat! Lol - love the channel all those roosters in Panama are the bomb!

[@jonathannoblim7667]

40 pounder was caught on little red river farther south. Come out of greers ferry lake.

[@Edward-ju1vj]

People get kind of closed minded when it comes to trout fishing technique. My biggest Brown was on a rattle trap. And my biggest Brookie was on a ten inch sluggo fished ridiculously slow off the bottom with a split shot twelve inches above it. I was fishing a muddy little pond for LM bass that day and got a 20 inch brookie. So I tried my whole trout arsenal to no avail, as they ignored nymph's, streamers, wooly buggers, dry flies, spoons, spinners and bait. But after tying the sloggo back on I landed 5 more Brookies 19-22 inches. Make sense of that¿? I've always done best with stickbates and jerkbaits for Browns. I use a krocodile spoon if its a lerge lake where you need to cast further. I fish Mostly at night when I'm targeting Browns. I use a loop knot (a must on stick/jerk baits) on 4-6lb floro. It seems light, but I use it for big, big Browns. 2-20 lbs. A lot of Brown Trout will start to ignore power bait, worms, insects and salmon eggs when they get over twelve inches.( Which is fine with me because I don't fish with any of that stuff). They also become nocturnal. If you go to your favorite trout spot just before dark and pitch a small stick bait around you will probably be surprised at some of the trout that are ignoring everybody else's presentations and bait.

[@YakFishField]

Great info and I agree!

[@GeorgeDEFINED]

Don't be salty man.. I wish my wife would fish with me at all! Y'all make a great team.. Great Content! See ya

[@krunch2653]

White river is just beautiful

[@patriotfarmer2851]

What kind of boat is that seems very stable.

[@naturesfinest4218]

"...anyone who likes to feel a little tug..." so all of us?

[@YakFishField]

Yes

[@cuz129]

I did it on six lbs test on a Rapala shad rap.

[@terrytolentino5459]

Eagle with trout is a good sign

[@fz3152]

I know nothing about fishing, why do you catch the fish if you going to release it?🙂

[@Quaagin]

When handling trout for catch and release, it's proper to wet your hand before touching them so you don't remove too much of their protective slime; removing too much slime and open them up for severe and sometimes fatal infections. Also, I implore you to consider flattening the barbs in your hooks to reduce damage to the fish mouths. You can see that the brown trout at 7:04 has a broken maxilla on its mouth. This type of injury is often cause by improper handling of the trout, namely, using barbed hooks, treble hooks and not being gentile when removing hooks.

[@kendalleidschun9190]

Sounds like some “bros” lol I like watching old school guys way better

[@eloysandoval2377]

Hi

[@SimconJon]

Someone get that man a left handed baitcaster.

[@hunterbennett111]

I know this is a bit late, but as a local, the 40lb 4oz brown trout was caught out of the Little Red River. The white river and northork hold TONS of 20-30 lb fish and I don’t doubt there are 40+lb fish in he white/Norfork rivers. It bothers me how these guys would know the actual truth and just lie like that.

[@Al-oe8ib]

World record is 44 pounds five ounces…caught in New Zealand Oct 2020

[@Goddamnwaffles]

Babe counter: 1000+

[@YakFishField]

I’m a lucky man

[@howardlashbrook1657]

was Jennifer that excited when she hooked you?Girls smell different so they catch more fish. stay safe she is beautiful and the fish just want to have a look at such beauty

[@saltyskippersportfishing5685]

Wtf lmao

[@tomasliekis7094]

eldorado

[@fz3152]

Body I hope you buy a 4K camera for a better content quality, thank you

[@maj_pr0blems]

Rob stop complaining 😉

[@YakFishField]

I was being a diva

[@maj_pr0blems]

Hahaha for sure! having a partner that loves to fish is a blessing, that's for sure

[@cacanghoihoi3005]

Erster

[@leegarrett5373]

irenn vyn.fyi

[@kathleenjensen4848]

Be prepared, have your stuff tied on before stepping on the boat. Get a clue Robert

[@YakFishField]

Well I didn’t know what we were going to be using, Kathleen. Sorry you were so upset by my actions 🤷‍♂️😂

[@kathleenjensen4848]

Joking, sorry if I hit a sore spot. Probably the wine talking.

[@davecosgrove8787]

That's a bold claim, that it's the Brown trout capital, it's not even a native species! Love the videos anyway.

[@gregguillot4870]

Brown trout are only native to Eastern Europe, West Asia, and North Africa. Catching one anywhere else in the world would be considered non-native I guess.

[@davecosgrove8787]

More than eastern Europe. They are native here in Scotland, as well as much of Scandinavia.

[@gregguillot4870]

@@davecosgrove8787 I’d give anything to catch them in Europe.

[@davecosgrove8787]

I was fishing the river Tweed on Monday and lost count of the number of trout I caught, plus a couple of grayling. In the right place they are rather easy to catch!

[@invadernik]

thats more like it. some god damn tanks there. i havent caught a brown in like 3 years now... =(

[@marciesheffield7360]

MARRY HER!!! A WOMAN LIKE HER IS IRREPLACEABLE AND A KEEPER... PUN INTENDED!!

[@YakFishField]

She’s definitely a keeer

[@manko717]

Way too much time tying leaders and knots. Just tie a regular fishing knot we use on bass. Works just fine.

[@thomasgettys4153]

You lost me 3 seconds in showing that bait casting reel.

[@YakFishField]

See ya ✌🏼

[@willisbrow]

you need to pack some damn tissue paper, so you can dry your eyes. Jesus, most of the video is you crying

[@GH-ru9kk]

Damn bro, that girls victory cackling screech when she caught the first brown trout is painful. Had to watch the rest of the episode on mute. 👎

[@Bound-yy1kp]

Ur wack guy. Just don’t watch then lol

[@jeffwatkins4901]

If your not catching fish change your speed on your retrieve slow and fast on another some fish are lazy some are wanting a fight
