Incredible Ice Fishing Battle With MEGA BROOK TROUT! (Trout Personal Best)

[@JonBrollin]

Any thoughts on mounting this Mega Trout?? Aaaaalso what fish should we mount next for the Cabin?

[@CalmBeforetheStormME]

Jon B. Hell ya buddy! Put that boy on the wall!

you should chase after tiger trout next it would look great in your cabin next to your brookie

[@drej2626]

Jon B. You have to mount that for the cabin that would be sick

[@Someloke8895]

You chaps need to have Jon back over here, for some Rock/Beach/Wreck fishing off the South Coast (Cornwall/Devon/Dorset - not forgetting a slight bit of Dartmoor fishing?) You could even have a word with TAFishing to get the best spots.

[@JonBrollin]

Ah jeez, can’t wait...

[@polarizedoutdoors]

@@JonBrollin They're more of an annoyance than anything. Also, if you lay on a ladybug with bare skin, they can bite you - something I found out. You can buy bug repelling clothing at LLBean that works decent and also putting a generous amount of bug spray on a buff around your neck and hat helps keeps the black flies from biting

So True. All of these Maine eps are giving me major nostalgic feelings of when I first started watching Jon B. I love these videos so much

[@aaronlaw5322]

WTF Kyle episodes

[@joesixer]

"Brook trout are very hardy". Well, there's something you don't hear every day.

[@nick-qm4xz]

They really are. Trout are literally dropped out of airplanes to be stocked in mountain lakes. Yes i know these ones are wild.

[@sean.s7468]

Trout are actually really sensitive and it doesn't take much to accidentally kill them. We have a lot of trout in Wyoming and if you fight them on the line to long they can die because they fight so hard that they get to tired and die plus you always want your hands to be wet because they have a slim on them.

[@jarrettlandreth285]

😂

[@paromanin]

I thought the exact same thing... especially brookies, of all the trouts/char - probably the most sensitive.

[@oystacrew]

And using knotted net

[@colinpakela5007]

That energy after that catch is why i fish

[@joeyofilms]

I have to say, the camerawork is the best ANYWHERE on KZbin. Watching Jon B. is not just a fishing thing, camera nerds should appreciate it too. Thank you for making essentially daily documentaries. This channel is a gem among gems. Thank you.

[@maxxstarr832]

Only made a reference to that fish being “big” or “good” 58 times from first hook set to when it came through the hole😂😂

Beautiful fishing video, congratulations, this place is wonderful, it has big fish. Hug and good fishing.👍🎣🐠😉

[@hardmanfishing]

That’s awesome man!!! I fish for brookies in the mountains of PA and WV. Mostly tiny little streams where the trout don’t get much over 15 inches. It’s still a blast.

[@tsnfishing3784]

That's the loudest I've heard Jon scream but it i don't blame um what a trout

[@zwiggles6908]

For the love of fish STOP saying brook trout are “super hardy”!!! They’re charr/trout, and they are giant wimps compared to pretty much every other fish. A wild trout should be treated with respect, and in particular a native fish that had never ever been stocked over with pure genetics going back 1ks of years. I know you’re trying to treat the fish with respect, and you can tell you are trying to handle them properly. I get your excited (anyone would be), and I really think you did a great job considering everything with the fish. Just stop saying that brook trout are really tough. Compare them to any warm water fish and they’re giant sissies.... That being said great fish, great video! I’m jealous. That lake is a gem, I’m glad you’re not trying to name your spots or showing any really obvious land marks. These native trout in Maine are the last ones left in good numbers in the US. They cannot handle extra attention. You should do a video on invasive species, and the dangers of introducing new species into the pristine (ish) eco systems. Sorry for the rant, I’m pumped you’re in ME now. I’m in NH, and am really looking forward to you doing some exploring more up there. And I would 10000% get that mounted. Look up Carlson’s taxidermy, and do a custom molded mount with display. Their work is amazing!!

[@codkue5142]

He did a good job, maybe a rubber net would have been better. Guys like you guys smh

[@zwiggles6908]

Cod Kue I did not say he did a bad job. I cautioned he may be giving the wrong impression to viewers that a brook trout is somehow similar to a bass/ warm water fish which they are not in terms of their hardiness. Considering his excitement he did well. Just don’t give people the impression that you can treat a charr the same way you can handle a bass and expect them both to live. I mean he fed one to an eagle. Totally fine with that, it was a legal catch. But if you’re going to release them try to give them the best chance to be swimming a week from when you release them.

[@vinnycaruso1166]

That’s actually not true imo. Being mainly a brook trout angler myself, on countless occasions, I have accidentally dropped them in sand, on rocks, and they never die. I also handle them all the time without wetting my hand and they are completely fine when I release them.

[@niagarafallsnewyork3659]

Jon you should absolutely get that fish mounted for the cabin no question about it, and it would add some real character and make a great conversation piece for friends visiting the cabin.

[@reelteacher]

Great Brookie! Love the video, I'm so jealous! I'm going to have to fish in Maine, soon! Thank you for sharing your experience. So Awesome!

@@forfrigsakes3330 Congrats on that fish. its so exciting catching big trout in tiny streams

[@forfrigsakes3330]

@@HobieWanKenobi it's way different, way more of a challenge/accomplishment. tiny creek fishing is more like hunting, you have to be stealthy and quiet and pick them out of their spots, I love it.

[@brooktrout8568]

Is it really like hunting though? I mean any trout will hit a spinner in a stream its not really like hunting

[@forfrigsakes3330]

@@brooktrout8568 Do all hunted animals not take bullets? It's like hunting in the sense you have to find the fish, they are not roaming and coming to you like a lake or pond fish will. Some creeks I'll walk for miles just to find fish, some days I won't even find them. So yes it's like hunting.

Those are about average to good for the south. Brook is the only native stream trout in southern Appalachia. Like here in Tennessee our record is 5 pounds or so, but it’s not uncommon to here guys catch 2 and 3 pounders regularly. Now if ya wanna talk browns.. we got the juice lol. 40 pound record, not uncommon to see people bring in 15-20 pounders in some of our mountain rivers.

“This fish is good they’re very hardy” lmao true words of a non trout fisherman. I’m sure it was okay being it was submerged but you’re foolish to say a trout is hardy in anyway. Probably the most sensitive fish in terms of angler handling. Most die after release even if you don’t think it from being fought to exhaustion.
