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 !

[@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.

[@mikekrol7485]

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

[@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.

[@Rich-fg9vj]

Dude your commentary is funny AF! Great video.

[@surfinnbert6976]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@williammiller353]

Probably one of your best videos, good job.

[@theredfishchronicles7929]

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

[@heroryan7859]

My head: yes huge fly fisherman posted!

[@MrRockspot]

Best way to carry chicken well fishing?

[@dougwelch6724]

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

[@jakewishart3039]

This man needs more subscribers

[@3knotheads]

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

[@clarkman23]

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

[@peterpauwels4610]

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

[@lamoson]

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

[@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

[@johnyorchak5162]

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

[@mattstout856]

I really enjoy episodes like this! Thank you!

[@jonstevens9931]

Is the chicken homemade?

[@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😂.

[@matstaley388]

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

[@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

[@farmerbob4554]

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

[@AK2HI]

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

[@k1w176]

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

[@h545-k9m]

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

[@adamokeefe2259]

This dude deserves at least 1 mill subs

[@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?

[@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!

[@eliorloff1963]

Great to see more vids during this time

[@DylanWOWilliams]

The best intros.

[@CrackkkCrazyyy]

Do you even mend bro?

[@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?

[@mdflyfishinguk5220]

Great video's, entertaining as well 😂

[@DyslexicTurtle]

3:24 Me, every time I fish

[@richardbishop2725]

nice video. looks like a fun day of fishing.

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

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

[@gerhardpanzl927]

Rainbro - i love it! Cheers!

[@ajcolaizzi3553]

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

[@Artemis_x98]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@stephanlandry9406]

And say no to skinny jeans!

[@chrisburger8044]

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

[@timhileman8335]

Can someone explain FFBI?

[@peters6850]

What's ffbi?

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

Exactly.

[@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

[@stephanlandry9406]

Hey Ben look there is a squirrel!

[@bssaassin1900]

Damn you had to do some eurodorking haha

[@wesleyfarris5614]

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

[@daytongarcia2866]

What river is this ?? Killer vids btw

[@HugeFlyFisherman]

Montana

[@broken8wt407]

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

[@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

[@ogidu]

"GO MAKE BABIES!" hahaha

[@chrishayes7966]

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

[@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!

[@arvadaangler1984]

What happened to FFBI?!

[@pahuntnut]

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

[@-Awareness]

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

[@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.

[@iaov]

I've had lots of days like this

[@patches152]

nice hat

[@InternetRambler]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@agentsmith7745]

FFBI?

[@jakerozier77]

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

[@mattmacdonough7862]

Ben = GOAT

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@parate8628]

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

[@neillee4406]

looks like Euro wins???

[@tyanez]

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

[@alext.7517]

I see you are a fellow agent

[@joeyjfivelujan5777]

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

[@uluacom]

🔥

[@danclements1990]

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

[@tronner_the_awesome]

Euro Whitefish sounds like an 80s coverband

[@mcriser]

PULEESE....You flossed that first brown.

[@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. 😁

[@chrisbajema8002]

Ben your inner voice was calling out to you “ damn it Ben, why did you invite Scott anyways?? He’s always taking all the best spots and he’s not very modest.... Geesh..... how was bragging camp Scott.... some people never realize how much I helped them out “. Get off the stick redd yo!!! That’s it’s not good flyfishermans etiquette blahhahaha

[@waynenew9778]

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

[@brooksvenuti7490]

"Maybe it identifies as a male." heh.

[@RockyMtnHigh2008]

LMAO

[@johnmadia5229]

Huge

[@proferod]

Shelf is good.

[@bryanitz8401]

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

[@stevestringham1095]

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

[@bp2352]

Lol.. there all like 39" down here.

[@BC-mf5gr]

Euro will always outfish bobbers

[@proferod]

Naked nymph, man! You can do it!
