GIANT Cutthroat Trout Catch & Cook, SPEARFISHING & LIGHTNING!!!

SUBSCRIBE for Weekly NW Fishing Secrets Videos!
In this episode, things get WILD! I show you how to catch trout in a lake from a kayak, try spearfishing for Carp, and get caught in a lightning storm! Cutthroat trout fishing is fun and lucrative on this lake, but it took us several hours of kayak fishing to finally get on them. It was also my first time freshwater spearfishing in years! Finally, after getting home, I show you how to clean a trout, how to fillet a trout, and do a cutthroat trout catch & cook. Many of you have been asking for more kayak fishing, as well as lake trout fishing videos, so I’ll be making plenty more this summer.

This guy deserves way more subs. The vid quality is insane.

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Thank you man 🤙

Yup

Harpoon is high quality fishing

[@silvertipgaming2841]

Right bro

[@ryderachla4150]

I was about to comment that in another video and his videos are good

[@BeeChan_]

I’ve seen many many catch and cooks... I have to say I’ve never been as hungry as I have after seeing this one. Epic catch and cook!

[@NWFishingSecrets]

Man that cook scene was hard to edit 🤤 Had to make at least 3 snacks to keep me going 🤣 Thanks for enjoying, can't wait to do more of these.... 🎣

[@BlueCollarMafia]

NW Fishing Secrets I agree with @Bee Chan. I have some favorites that do c-a-c’s all the time but since I’ve subbed a few days ago your catches and your cooks are way better. Can’t wait to say I was here at 30k when you’re at 1M. I moved to Texas from Los Angeles and I miss west coast fishing. I miss trout and stripers. But the bass fishing and the saltwater in the gulf produce some great fishing as well. But no one cares to pick up their trash because it looks like your fishing some man made structure no matter where you’re at least in the Houston area. But I’ll be putting some pretty entertaining fishing vids up soon. Thanks for the inspiration and effort into your vids. Bless up.

[@BlueCollarMafia]

NW Fishing Secrets they do stock some ponds and waterways with rainbow trout in the winter but they’re gone by March. It doesn’t stay that cold out here.

[@mauriziocampanella8872]

I usually catch and release but after discovering this channel i just had to bring one home😂

[@barbecueddeer395]

Same I watched like 4 of his videos last night and I remembered that I had leftover walleye and bass in the fridge so I just heated it up and made my first fish taco it actually tasted way better the second time

That salt, pepper, rosemary crushing ceremony was a delight. That thunder sounded like it put you in your place earlier hehe. Construction from start to finish on that tortilla filled with goodness was pulled off impressively.

[@tinodachinamhora2574]

Your catch and cooks are my fav. Love from Zimbabwe

[@chrish5224]

I miss catching cutthroat. Fishing for cutthroat with my dad are my best fishing memories I have. For some reason, the lake we used to catch them in is void of cutthroat. Now there's just planted, lazy triploids that won't hit a lure. I still have the memory of the epic summer evenings we had. We would fish all day for bass, play around with perch and bluegill until the last 1 to 2 hours of daylight as the sun was setting. As soon as the sun set, it was on! The lake would completely glass out, and the cutthroat would start rising to gorge on the mayfly hatch. You couldn't cast fast enough to the endless rings surrounding the boat. There was never a question of "IF" we would catch something, it was "how many" would we get tonight! It was epic! We still talk about it every summer, when we stay out late on the same lake, and the perfect conditions fall into place as they once did. Our hearts still swell with the hope of seeing those rings of rising trout again, just for one for chance relive that experience we still remember like it was yesterday. Sadly, we are always let down as if it was for the first time. I would give up A LOT in my life to have that experience again with my dad. Now we make new memories catching large mouth bass together and chasing the dream of boating a double digit hog.

[@diannaharrison5931]

Yes please do more catch and cooks.

[@superbmetal9567]

I always appreciate that you pickup other people's garbage from the water and campgrounds. Hopefully we can all learn from your example. Keep up the good work!

We’ve gone as far as ordering Læso sea salt and making the cheesy tortillas 😄. Anyway brother, Thank you again. Fish on!

In Upstate NY on way home I stop to answer nature's call. I struck the mother lode! We were having them in omletts and on cheese burgers and my dad added them to French Onion Soup. I took off me tee shirt and ties a knot in it and filled it up! Tons left behind. Love them!
