[@e4t662]

Production value 10 of 10.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!

[@jamesshuler4703]

I live in western N C where is this stream at ? Would love to know ..

[@DawsonandOliver]

@@jamesshuler4703Jon lives in West Virginia so this river is most likely not near you. The best stream in your area is actually in South West Virginia, the South Fork of the Holston river holds trophy wild browns near the Buller fish hatchery.

[@Veneziano21]

Awesome video man, I really enjoy your streamer content! I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who’s talking to the fish/themselves out there!!

[@hardmanfishing]

After a few hours on the water I sound like a crazy person sometimes 😂

[@saints51]

You make the best fishing videos I've seen. You have a nack for putting us right there in the stream, where we'd all love to be. Beautiful country, beautiful fish, great videos. I'm hitting the river this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoy the videos and good luck on the river!

[@zumalot]

Couldn't help thinking about this song by Michael Murphey when you were talking to or about the fish. "Because he called the forest brother Because he called the earth his mother They drove him out into the rain And some people even said That the boy from the country was insane Because he spoke with fish in the creek He tried to tell us that the animals could speak And who knows, maybe they do Hey, how do you know they don't Just because they've never spoken to you" John Denver also sang it very well. Congrats on some awesome trout fishing....and talking. Great video!

[@benpyeatt9986]

The slow motion on that first fish was sick!! You could see him come up and nail it. Really cool to watch

[@Rich-fg9vj]

Nothing worse than chasing a foul hooked hog down stream! haha Great video as usual! Thanks for taking us along!

[@stevedavis4087]

What a great couple days of fishing! Beautiful fish love how you called one to action that was epic. Keep em coming your content is excellent!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!!

Lovely fish and a beautiful river - I really appreciate the effort you put in to your videos. Well done!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed

[@davidleimeister5027]

I am absolutely speechless. What a great video and adventure. Let's Go Jon! I also talk to the fish with my own technique.

Thank you David!! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Such beauties! So blessed to be able to fish for them. very nice!

[@Adventures_of_ASJ]

Excellent intro!!! Production value still climbing!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!!!

[@jobobcowman5155]

That is the happiest streamer I’ve ever seen. You can tell he wants to be helpful

[@jshada58]

Another fantastic job. Beautiful video and amazing fish. Keep ‘‘em coming. Can’t wait for the next one. Well done.

[@Fishin-Ipps]

I’ve watched (and enjoyed) a ton of your videos, but man, this one made me subscribe. You wrestled some tanks in there. Great stuff.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@williamsoni]

I really enjoy your vids. I'd love you to do a tutorial on streamer fishing, particularly the type of leaders you use with different types of flies ( and lines ). I'd been fishing dries and dry droppers for years and years and really want to give it a go but it seems like a different world.

[@braxtenfranz2257]

It is. You can use a floating line and a regular 6-7 wt rod like he does in his videos. That works good for smaller slower water. And some people like that for big rivers also but I personally fish a sinking line in bigger/deeper water. And you can fish weighted and un weighted streamers with the float line. But once again I personally like the sinking line. Then just start playing with it takes a little doing to really learn but you just want to make that minnow look real and like it’s moving from fast water to cover or slower water. Then when the train hits the hook will be set so hold on! I KZbin’s how to set up a streamer rod when I got started. Fist day streamer fishing the whole day I netted 12 browns and 2 lake trout.

[@michaelmulqueen2557]

one of the best strikes I've seen in long time. Nicely shot!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@vonixvintvon2534]

beautiful job!! the fish the fishing and the stream, what a perfect picture. I look forward to more!

Thanks for yet another great video!

[@robertperman8967]

Excellent show. Very informative.

[@patjordan1955]

Dang! Those fish have a mind of there own! Lol! Loved that round chunk first fish! Big heathy fighters!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed!

[@tanneryates9117]

This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I thought it was great! I have a magnetic retractable sling deal for my net and it’s helped me a ton. Last thing you want is to lose a fish because your net isn’t cooperating… 👍

[@johns8091]

Great video! Man thats some beautiful country! Gorgeous browns!

[@ohmsweethohm7259]

Streamer in the appalachian mountains for the win! It’s not always so good but when it is it’s real good. Nice fish congrats!

[@hardmanfishing]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@erichicks2990]

Do you think one day we could get a vid on how you do your research and process for choosing new rivers? Obviously not asking you to tell me where you’re fishing, but I’m always looking for new streams and rivers that are off the beaten path but have a hard time researching them.

[@hardmanfishing]

@@erichicks2990 Yes I plan on it!!

[@scotthamilton9581]

Excellent video! I loved seeing that brown come up and take that streamer. Your videos just keep getting better and better.

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you so much!!

[@tsbfishing1399]

Awesome video! Watching from BC Canada

[@wildbill2813]

Very nice Brown's, streamer's and big trout ooooya baby

[@_nickhill_]

That looked like a solid couple of days of streamer fishing! Really enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing. Now time for me to get out there and chase some!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks for watching!! And good luck out there!

[@johncalabrese6467]

Excellent Jon, this video like your others are hypnotizing. Tight lines buddy!🤠

Fantastic day of fishing…….great content and great fishing skills!!!!

[@hardmanfishing]

Thanks Pat!!

[@jeromedamian5740]

Respect, you seem to really appreciate those fish and your fisherie , just by the way you handle them and get them back into the river. Hope for the future. Great fun .

[@steveblack5066]

Love your videos! You guys are awesome!!!!! Little suggestion though would be to buy 300 or 400 nets and attach the net you're going to use to your body somehow.

[@mathewbrust398]

Looks like a lamprey scar on that third one. All beauties through, well done!

[@mathewbrust398]

That last one was especially impressive. I am going to go with 21 1/4 or 21 1/8. A dream fish for just about anyone, including me.

[@ccmusic2249]

Gorgeous day, GORGEOUS fish!

[@bengibson2383]

great video as always, keep it up man!

Thank you!!

I just got back from my first trip in Pisgah. Fished the Davidson and the south fork of the Mills. Completely struck out. But I still enjoy your videos. Thanks for the content.

Is that where this guy was fishing??

[@barrymills128]

@@michaelt.8956 No this guy is fishing private water. Hence the lack of info on location

Fantastic Jonathan, thanks so much.

Beauties !!! Nice fishing and video 😊

[@willbuckner9467]

Bruh, you always make a good vid. Always enjoy watching you. Come on Down to Boone and fish some of our waters here in the High Country. One thing I think would be cool would be to do some details about the streamers that you are using....maybe you do and I have missed it??!! Love what you are doing !!

[@ecologygarden]

beautiful location , beautiful fish 👍

I've always said,if you want to have an intelligent conversation talk to yourself. Great fishing👍

[@Tlyt.]

Not too sure if you remember that I said that I wanted to get a fly rod for Christmas and I did i’m going to learn to cast from some family members who fly fish and they stock trout in a little pond near me in the winter and I’m gonna start fishing there but thank you so much for all your content

[@NoneofUrbusiness-p9w]

Beautiful river.

[@racheldagovitz2642]

Beautiful water and fish.

Just trying to get into fly fishing, your channel is so awesome

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!!

[@andronomisneltron3231]

You did a great job side arming him. I would advise walking him into the slack water, simply by walking to shore. Best chance of him not getting away, and also a safe spot to land and photograph. The swift current works against you. Just finesse them towards the shore.

[@bernie5970]

New subscriber. Love the content. Are these hold-over browns? If so, how many years for them to reach that size after stocking?

[@paulmanzone8373]

Quick tip, measure your pinky tip to your thumb tip spread out all the way and measure, that will always give you a base size to go off Helps when you want quick release👍😉

[@SldgeHammr]

What rod/reel were you using

[@missouritroutbums598]

Awesome job 👏

[@scottellsworth1759]

Awesome video bro love it keep it up

[@hardmanfishing]

Thank you!

[@johndoolittle100]

Could you explain streamer fishing in more depth, like when to use them, where etc.

[@clammerify]

You use streamers to target and pick out the BIG fish. Fishing streamers tends to pick out the 16" + fish consistently since they become piscivorous (other fish as main food source - what you are imitating with streamers. You can fish streamers in ALL conditions and at ALL times but the best conditions are during cloudy/rainy/overcast days and especially good if these days are coupled with brown/high/dirty water and dusk/dawn and night time. Why you ask? It is the best chance that a big predatory brown has to nail baitfish etc since the visibility is low and they can ambush them. Low light + cloudy water - well the prey can't seem them coming.

[@Conorkinsella]

I love in into

[@ZenBJJ10p]

Fantastic content. Do you guys have lamprey in the area. Because that looks like a lamprey bite for sure

I was using 12 pound floro for most of the video. Towards the end I have some 3x on though

[@ryanlilly1293]

Amazing video man, I’ve read wanted to start throwing streamers ever since I saw some of your older streamer vids. Do you run sink tip or floating line for your streamers?

[@uni_shadow164]

Nice Tank Dude! I don't know how you can run after a trout in the river, I'd fall hard or break a leg! Nice video with a little suspense!
