We didn't really plan a challenge, but it kind of worked out that way.

Been fly fishing for a total of 3 weeks now and caught my first trout a week ago and now I'm hooked. Love your videos.

[@AboutTrout]

Brought a tear to my eye. My daughter loves the video and says “Ben, I want to put a tree on my head”. The NBA Jam reference was greatly appreciated. Keep up the great bonus content !

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

We all talk to ourselves when we fish. You just say it out loud for your video. Entertaining, thanks. Our fishing is banned in WA now so we only have guys like you.

[@shroopable]

lol the suspense of wading to a precarious spot in the river and then snagging, realizing you don't have extra flies on you, hoping you can unsnag. damn too real. this is why it's important to wear a truly dorky fishing vest.

[@cmbullit]

Not to brag by my favorite fish of last season was a whitefish on a dry fly. Loved getting that fish.

[@ScottyBondo]

I log into KZbin every morning just hoping for another HUGE video. Love these "just a day of fishing" videos. Stay wet Keep em huge!

[@jakewishart3039]

This man needs more subscribers

[@truethought2581]

Back of the hole?? Dude you are not only a huge fly fisher, you're a true bud. Back of the hole, wow. Good friend.

[@clarkman23]

RainBro'....classic! That probably describes some of the posters on here too!

[@paulallen7651]

Congratulations on having commercials in the middle of your videos! It’s probably not new but it’s the first time I noticed. For laughs it’s so much easier to watch your videos than digging out my Ed Zern books. Have I dated myself?

[@williamcrawford7857]

Don't forget Pat Mcmanus!

[@heroryan7859]

My head: yes huge fly fisherman posted!

[@mikekrol7485]

Thanks Ben. The extra content is HUGE right now. Stay safe buddy.

[@surfinnbert6976]

I’ve never laughed so hard at a fishing video kept up the good work

[@accountnotinuse1535]

Thanks mate for the regular vids/ keeping me just about sane. Over here in the UK we are specifically banned from fishing until lockdown is over😂.

[@theredfishchronicles7929]

" it wasn't big. It was probably butt hooked.." I love your videos man!!!

[@Rich-fg9vj]

Dude your commentary is funny AF! Great video.

[@bjrnthorness1151]

7:32 my buddy had the exact same thing happen when we were fishing this last weekend. he unhooked his streamer to strip some line out and he went to pick up the line and there was a big bow on the end. pretty funny when that happens.

[@matstaley388]

First fish I ever caught on a fly was butt-hooked. It will always hold a special place in my heart!

[@lamoson]

"James, did you see that? You'd be so PROUD!" Laughed straight out loud on that one.

[@dougwelch6724]

Laughing my way through your videos!!!!! Nice!!!!

[@3knotheads]

Your vids are kinda badass. I really look forward to your stuff. 👍🏼

[@williammiller353]

Probably one of your best videos, good job.

[@jorgesven5197]

Changed the bobber by Euro Nymphing some years ago and never went back to the bobber. It is easier and catchs more fish.

[@greatwestfly]

loving all the vids bro, gives me something to do in this lockdown. learning alot too

[@mattstout856]

I really enjoy episodes like this! Thank you!

[@k1w176]

"OH he's got one on the Euro dork" LOL

[@peterpauwels4610]

Great video. A day in the life. What fun. Thanks

[@farmerbob4554]

Wow! Great day on the water. Some nice, fat rainbows!

[@DylanWOWilliams]

The best intros.

[@ajcolaizzi3553]

This made me feel better as a fisherman. Even the experts have tough goes sometimes. I like being a bobber guy too Ben.

[@johnyorchak5162]

Does Simms make skinny waders for Euro fishers, probably not but I bet Patagonia does!

[@bigdonkeybutt69]

Loving these types of videos man!

[@dylandehning719]

RIP FFBI you will be missed :(

[@Drivewaytohell]

Wonder what happened to it😔

[@andrewgio1]

@@Drivewaytohell I imagine someone they made fun of got butt hurt and reported them.... you are not allowed to bully anymore it sucks haha

[@bssaassin1900]

Damn you had to do some eurodorking haha

[@adamokeefe2259]

This dude deserves at least 1 mill subs

[@chrishayes7966]

Ben cracks me up. Says exactly what we’re all thinking.

[@MrRockspot]

Best way to carry chicken well fishing?

[@wesleyfarris5614]

This channel has been my 6/24. Only the 12th. It’s not you, it’s me.

[@gerhardpanzl927]

Rainbro - i love it! Cheers!

[@Art3m1s_98]

This made me laugh so much thanks man :) You da real MVP.

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

that was fun!!! should do the live action more often .Im a HUGE fan

[@eliorloff1963]

Great to see more vids during this time

[@davidfield2503]

Too many other fly fish channels are light hearted and insincere. Thanks for taking the sport seriously. It’s very important stuff. Too many times, it’s just fly fishermen comparing their rod length. Ha!

[@stephanlandry9406]

Hey Ben look there is a squirrel!

[@richardbishop2725]

nice video. looks like a fun day of fishing.

[@jaynesjunction]

Always happens... switch rigs and come to find out, it is just you that is having that kind of day :-) Glad it turned around for yah. What are you using to make record the footage? GoPro, chest or hat mount?

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

Great video's, entertaining as well 😂

[@broken8wt407]

Damn , there's snow there. I can't imagine. Sending distant love from NC, sea temp 67.

[@trevorkerber3914]

Nice vid Ben! Always enjoyable and interesting. When eating fried chicken on the water do you try to keep it warm? Some days you're the windshield and some days you're the bug.

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

Backpack temperature is fine. Same with beer.

[@patches152]

nice hat

[@kingfisherwoodturing5330]

Your videos make me want to go out and slay em but when I go out, I just catch more sticks than you do and not as many fish!

[@daddymcsnacks_561]

Hold up, flipping out the line on a drift is a real thing? I've been doing something HUGE and didn't know it. 🤣 🎣

[@briantalbot1452]

I do it too lololololol

[@daddymcsnacks_561]

@@briantalbot1452 It does work and if I do it just right, I don't really have to mend so much. 🤷🏼‍♂️🎣🤣

[@jakerozier77]

Happy Fish’N 🧨💥I ordered my euro rod this weekend. Looking forward to learning and failing 🤘🧻

[@uluacom]

🔥

[@nl5494]

Ben going euro? Should we expect any tenkara content soon?

[@mcriser]

PULEESE....You flossed that first brown.

[@ogidu]

"GO MAKE BABIES!" hahaha

[@mattkelly7413]

You are always top rod in my book, but then again my book is a lazy sarcastic pitiful excuse for personal for experience. So congrats and sorry all in the same thought.

[@mattkelly7413]

“”Boom-shack-a-lackca he’s on fire” classic NBA Jam on N64

[@iaov]

I've had lots of days like this

[@tyanez]

Very funny. Those were some chunky beauties. So I guess Euro beat the bobber, officially? :-) It works.

[@DyslexicTurtle]

3:24 Me, every time I fish

[@mattmacdonough7862]

Ben = GOAT

[@proferod]

Shelf is good.

[@jonstevens9931]

Is the chicken homemade?

[@thomash4950]

This is my first season fly fishing, partially thanks to your channel. I’ve been fishing in western Colorado as that’s where I live, so I tend to fish Gunnison gorge, frying pan, and uncompahgre, and green river in Utah. I was just curious if you fished any of these locations and could tell me how how they stack up to the fishing near Denver/boulder. I’ve been wanting to drive out and do a fishing trip while things are super slow around the state

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

The further east you go, the more crowded the water will be. And it’s my personal feeling that you should stay close to home for fishing right now. The mountains are crawling with Front Rangers right now. Every day is like a Saturday in July.

[@thomash4950]

Huge Fly Fisherman ouch, thanks for the reply, I’ll definitely be sticking around the San Juan’s then! Good luck out there and stay safe!

[@douglyons2678]

Wouldn’t it just be easier to fish with a spin rod than go through the canard of claiming to be fly fishing? You could become the first ever Eurospinner.

[@connorcarson2622]

Is euro nymphing just tenkara with reel? The world may never truly know

[@docbailey3265]

Connor Carson Yes. Tenkara is the wave of the future.

[@stevenm6301]

1:35... Mark Wahlberg impression? lol

[@thinktwicespeakonce482]

Everytime drone shot makes my desire to move west stronger.

[@WalkingTaco]

Every drone shot makes us that live up here want to bring our shotgun to the river tomorrow.

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

@S J so you’re, like, a badass and stuff. Neat.

[@WalkingTaco]

Well, you wouldn't know it cause I don't bring my drone to the river for epic grams and KZbin shots! PS love your vids, but let's just say drones are worse than rod vaults. Although both are pretty douchey.

[@cuntpunter35]

Don’t do it. We are all jerks here.

[@johnmadia5229]

Huge

[@paulkremer5054]

Great action video, thanks Ben. Do you partake in streamer fishing ever? The tub is the drug, been fishing in Gypsum in the eagle with a lot of good quality browns on skulpzilla’s.....Not asking for you to give up your location but can you tell me what river you were on in this latest video? Stay Huge and thanks again......

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

I fish streamers from boats pretty often. I can’t name the river, but it’s not too far from Gypsum.

[@joshhanna2255]

Huge Fly Fisherman Montana?

[@pahuntnut]

You would have hooked more fish using James’ method if you had a proper euro rod!!!!

[@stephanlandry9406]

And say no to skinny jeans!

[@immanuelcan3310]

Scott had no slack in the system, and was hooking up. That's why bobbers lose fish...slow take-up and soft hook sets.

[@derpingforlulz]

You got your hat! But no word on what happened to them? Sad day that the FFBI got shut down

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

Wish I knew what happened.

[@danclements1990]

Euronymping.... tell me Tenkara won't be next

[@AK2HI]

is that your wrist with the chinese tattoo that says "tribe"

[@alext.7517]

I see you are a fellow agent

[@prestonward7533]

Opposites attract. Scott seems like a nice quiet gentle soul. Ben on the other hand is full of bull shit. If you don't think Ben's a great fly fisherman JUST ASK HIM! HE'S HUGE! LMBO. You'd be fun to fish with Ben. You and I would sling the bull as fast as the brew. Great video!

[@-Awareness]

Seems like Scott is quiet and doesn’t talk too much… and catches way more fish… might be something in that combination lol…

[@savycenter]

fish

[@parate8628]

well brown trout are from europe so you should use our ways

[@waynenew9778]

If you ever bottle your awesomeness put me down for a six pack!

[@chrisburger8044]

Is it normal to accidentally fowl hook fish a lot...?

[@agentsmith7745]

FFBI?

[@neillee4406]

looks like Euro wins???

[@tronner_the_awesome]

Euro Whitefish sounds like an 80s coverband

[@BC-mf5gr]

Euro will always outfish bobbers

[@timhileman8335]

Can someone explain FFBI?

[@larrypleaseeatapplesnewton8641]

Old saying the difference between a good fly fisherman and a great fly fisherman is sometimes a split shot

[@jeffrey7524]

You have to get your fly where the fish are.

[@bp2352]

Lol.. there all like 39" down here.

[@timbillings6884]

How can you be the Best when I Am??? I would out fish you on your best day ever!!! You sure do miss a lot of strikes. 😁

[@CrackkkCrazyyy]

Do you even mend bro?

[@joeyjfivelujan5777]

Haha he says "maybe she identifies as a male" 😂😂😂😂😂

[@bryanitz8401]

Looks like "he's" getting ready to spawn(??)

[@stevestringham1095]

it's a two way street. boy fish have their part.

[@proferod]

Naked nymph, man! You can do it!

[@lukecronin137]

RIP FFBI

[@keiranrooker7981]

How do you accidentally snag trout? I mean I see salmon but trout I’ve never snagged one

[@stevestringham1095]

use two flys

[@keiranrooker7981]

Steve Stringham I take back what I said I hooked a chub using 2 flies and it ran the second fly into a baby brown first time I snagged a trout since I started fly fishing

[@daytongarcia2866]

What river is this ?? Killer vids btw

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

Montana

[@arvadaangler1984]

What happened to FFBI?!
