I Both LOVE & HATE This Jerkbait! (Trout Fishing)

[@waynejennings3803]

Probably the most entertaining fishing video I've seen in a while. I like how u did the mess ups in the video. Makes me feel like I'm not the only one. Lol. And cool u found ur lure. What an adventure!!!

[@FishAnything]

Haha thanks Wayne! It was a strange day on the water but definitely fun!

[@jayrough1413]

You are by far my favorite! I have learned so much from you about trout fishing! Keep up the great work for us! as we all appreciate your hard work

[@FishAnything]

This comment made my day! Thank you so much for being so kind and supportive. I promise these videos will continue to make their way to the internet :)

[@imsorry8236]

One humble tip. Swap a couple Rapalas with single hooks. So once you get a good hole, which is branchy or you’re getting caught up a lot, switch to the single. You wouldn’t want to use a single all the time cause less hook up chance, but it will save you so much stress. Tight lines good luck brother

[@FishAnything]

Thanks for the tip! I definitely need to try this out!

[@Hey_Euphoric]

1:20 work it slower, and twitch the bait. I catch big browns often and if you Reel, stop, jerk it and change the amount every time you stop, they usually crush it on the pause. Also cast parallel to the current if there is any, or a 45° angle. I also HIGHLY recommend you buy a bottle of "Pro Cure" Bloody Tuna gel and dabble a small layer and spread it all over your lure, it'll leave a scent trail for them to follow if the water is murky, i never get skunked with it. Anyone who tries it that I show it too also notices a big increase in committed hook up ratios

[@FishAnything]

Thank you for the tips!!

[@samcash123]

Ahh when a fishing trip turns into a mammoth rescue trip, I know them well!

[@FishAnything]

Lol most of my trout fishing trips turn into something other than fishing.

[@traysonwright4008]

Oh the things I’ve done to retrieve rapalas. One time I got my lure wrapped around a wire going across the river. I decided to climb across the wire grab my lure then drop down into the water and swim to the bank😂

[@FishAnything]

Haha oh boy I bet that would have been fun to watch!

[@michaelfischerbassmaster]

Thanks for another awesome post, great catches🎣! Wow, what a lure/rod calamity.😱 Great rescue! You are giving me something to watch while I'm in mandatory Shelter-in-Place in Illinois. Given your water clarity I'd consider switching from one classic, the Original Rapala Floater, to another classic, Mepps in-line spinners. However, my trout go-to was always live mayfly larvae (wigglers) under a float.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Michael! I have yet to try a Mepps but will definitely have to do so soon. Maybe I will do a video using a Mepps, Rooster Tail, and Panther Martin to see what the main differences are :D

[@michaelfischerbassmaster]

@@FishAnything Don't skip the Blue Fox Vibrax spinners, they are LEGIT as well!!!🎣🎣🎣

[@FitzYakin]

Haha that fish dang jerkbait! It cost you some trials and tribulations, blood, sweat in tears! I'm glad you caught some fish with it and I'm glad you recovered it TWICE!! LOL!

[@FishAnything]

Haha what a weird day of fishing... But it was fun and I ultimately can't complain!

[@williamfriggle]

In situations like you are in I use the Rapala countdown lure. It sinks slowly. 1 foot every second. So you can get deeper. And it is a little heavier so it is easier to cast.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah I definitely need to work my Countdowns in more often

[@shawneldridge231]

i like using a gold flame 2 inch 1/16 oz. yo-zuri pins minnow. its not that big and its not that small, its just the right size. trout love this color.

[@FishAnything]

Hmmm I will have to look into that Pins Minnow! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Saucy1337]

Nice adventure, I always want to fish after your videos! Your commentary is hilarious.

[@FishAnything]

That is my goal! Watch a few videos and go fishing :D Thank you so much for the ongoing support - very happy you are enjoying the videos :)

[@Saucy1337]

@@FishAnything finally a nice evening to fish, got 4 at the neighborhood pond. One juicy mama on a bed and had to put up a point for Team Dink. Activity definitely picking up for spawn here in TX.

Love your videos so much… you’re so full of positivity

[@FishAnything]

I do my best :) thank you so much S K!

[@nathanm2571]

Great video! I like you show the struggles of stream fishing.

[@FishAnything]

We can't all be perfect anglers :D I enjoy making fun of my "issues" on the water. It is just part of the angling experience so I enjoy showcasing it.

[@petemoore8923]

That’s why I carry at least three of any bait I think will be productive? Makes your box bigger but worth it. Rods? When I’m walking, at least 4. In a boat at least 8. It’s a vicious cycle.

[@FishAnything]

Walking a trout stream with tons of trees and four rods would be rough. But in this case, I probably could have used another :)

[@loganbusby8812]

Always a good thing to master new techniques

[@FishAnything]

Darn right Logan!

[@leomortimer2565]

It looks like you were using a size 9 floating rapala? Maybe go down to size 7 would help with those fish that were just take a swipe at your larger rapala. Those size 7 floating rapala are an 1/8oz and cast really well on ultralight gear. The size 5 floating rapalas are 1/16 oz but I notice that at 2" long I sometime have them tangle on me when casting.

[@FishAnything]

Good tip - thank you Leo!

[@pinkadam8989]

Another great vid. I like what you said about gaining confidence in different baits. That's really a good idea in building your knowledge because it teaches you how to effectively work a variety of presentations so when the time comes when you need a really particular technique to fish particular waters or particular conditions you have a wide arsenal that you're confident in.

[@FishAnything]

Exactly! That is how I treated bass fishing when I first got into it, now I am doing the same thing for trout. As I continue to expand my knowledge, not only will I get rewarded in my fishing trips, but I will also have more to share with the angling community. I am thoroughly enjoying the process!

[@iancameron1662]

Nice browns.on my home river the HURON RIVER.I GOT MY WADERS AND WALKING STICK.BECAUSE I GET SIDE TRACKER WADING TO GET ALL THE LOST LURES.GOT TONS OF LOST LURES.

[@FishAnything]

I need to do the same. Once I get some new waders, I think I will lose far less lures!

[@jayrough1413]

I am looking for a fishing kayak and I am wondering what you would suggest?

[@FishAnything]

I have a system... 1) What is your budget? 2) Rank the following in order of importance: speed, stability, comfort, transportability, storage 3) How big of a kayak do you want / can you fit at your place? Once I have those answers, I will have a better answer for you!

[@thatsaprettygoodfish6342]

Your fishing (mis)adventures reminds me of my own fishing (mis)adventures on my channel.

[@FishAnything]

Part of the process! Thanks for watching :)

[@chasedavis8889]

What’s up fish anything I know this video was a long time ago but my grandpas favorite lure for brown trout was the rapala original 2 inch black/gold they make the count down version which sinks and I like that one. Anyways what I’m getting at is you should try the 2 inch black and gold count down the gold part is a different material it almost looks like fish skin pretty cool.

[@FishAnything]

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@kj4unxpondosinatra937]

Great video. I hate losing spinner too.

[@FishAnything]

It makes me very sad lol but hey, it is part of the process!

[@tedgaddy7398]

Like your videos ,always wear hip waders and you will be a prepared as you can be for ( oh crap) lol, also try the kastking calamus rods you will love them and they never come lose on the joint, I use the 6 ft light with my pflueger 25 supreme, and also my pflueger 30 supreme XT and kastking calamus 6ft med light, booth amazing paired together, veryyyy light. With backbone and fast action,,,,,,,!!!!!

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Ted, yeah I am currently wader-less so my Muck Boots are what I have available. When I have some spare cash, I might make the investment into some new waders! And I have heard good things about Kastking so I will definitely keep this in mind when I need a new rod again :D

[@ParkersOutdoorLifestyle]

Browns are so aggressive! I love it!

[@FishAnything]

They are nutty fish man. Love them!

[@jonpogue427]

All in all a good day for you!!!

[@FishAnything]

[@mosierboy3631]

Awesome video! I’ve never caught a trout! You made it look so much fun!! BABAAM!! See ya in July!🤣😂🤣

[@FishAnything]

:D it is a blast! Summer will be here before we know it!

[@tedgaddy7398]

Little help, watch Academy after the summer season, they have huge sales on waders, I was there last year and noticed $140 and $100 pairs Marked down to $90 & $70. Got a pair of each and when the rang up, $25 and $35, called my friends now they all have them.... Few weeks ago they had all waders 50 percent off, great deals, now another buddy has some..lol Enjoy your videos ,you are wired fir sure, Me2 dang

[@FishAnything]

Haha that’s insane Ted! I’ll have to look online because I’m too far north to have an actual academy here. Good intel 🤠💚

[@bassntroutkings7000]

Lol! They have to make lures cheaper bc they are too easy to lose! Great job tho, some nice browns you got!

[@FishAnything]

Thanks man! Yeah it always hurts to lose the expensive ones haha

[@andrefloresca1324]

This is an older vid, but the tiger trout they have here in AZ are just as aggressive as the browns, act a lot like bass in open water

[@FishAnything]

I would LOVE to catch one!

[@stevestory8483]

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Steve! I had fun with it :D

[@MountainStateAngler]

Isn't it just crazy how with a single hook you always catch em but with two treble hooks hard to get them hooked haha.

[@FishAnything]

[@fishingwithvin]

I'm super distracted chasing bass lately I've all but given up on trout. You're super lucky to get that rapala back it's called a lure retriever and I bought one this weekend and saved two lures today with it, totally worth the 💰 lol

[@FishAnything]

I definitely need to pick up a lure retriever because this is getting old haha

[@Tsaustin1]

your videos are great. how close is the stream to your home? it seems to be a pretty cool spot

[@FishAnything]

Not too terribly far! That is why I keep hitting it so frequently haha Good place to build up my confidence as I try to become a better trout angler

[@MikeH0311]

What mic and camera do u use

[@FishAnything]

GoPro Hero 5 Black with no mic for the fishing. Sony a6400 with Rode Go Mic for the vlog filming

[@InTheWoodsToday]

Way to stay patient and keep trolling that spot. I wonder if you put a super small splitshot after your knot if it could help suspend a little longer? Way to get that rod tip back!

[@FishAnything]

I was thinking I need to start using the Rapala Countdowns and see if I can't get a bigger fish to eat it deeper in the pools!

[@InTheWoodsToday]

Great idea! I have a gold and black one that is ultralight countdown. Maybe 2 inch in length? I should give it try next time I fish for brownies!

[@TylerGoesFishing]

Some beautiful trout. Great stuff man you deserve more subs.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks Tyler I appreciate the support!

[@joelburchett5476]

Somethings I catch a ton of trout on the fire tiger color of the rapala it might work well in that brownish colored water

This video maybe a year ago but I will be in your shoes come April 2022 when I will be trying rapala countdown or jerkbaits . Ya i subscribed cause its fun to see how it begins . I appreciate that alot for when or if I get frustrated try something new but knowing you went through it too and came out better for it so Thank you....

[@FishAnything]

Thank you Michael! I hope you crush them this April :)

[@alexniehaus1336]

This might be my favorite video of yours so far. Mostly because it was so relatable: the mix of excitement and frustration that comes with fishing. You’ve shown me that moving water is super fun to fish and I’ve started fishing it more than ponds/lakes. So please continue to fish in places like this. Any wisdom on where in the stream to find fish? Still water? After a section of rapids? Inside or outside of turns? Deep/shallow?

[@FishAnything]

My next video is going to be one you like based on your questions! And thank you so much for the kind words, they really do mean the world to me! I love fishing moving waters man, it is so fun! The fish pull harder and tend to be prettier (no matter what species). As far as what I look for, I try to find deeper pools with good areas for fish to hide. That could be an undercut bank, a tree, brushpile, or boulder. The cover breaks up the current and allows fish to stage without exerting too much energy fighting the current all day. Fish will be shallow too, but I tend to find more fish in deeper pools / bends in the river.

[@ianpeterson9189]

Trout magnet makes jerk baits that have a thinner profile, those could possibly have a better hookup ratio because their easier to mouth for them. And I think they are a little less than the good ol rapalas

[@FishAnything]

Might have to check those out!!

[@FishAnything]

Haha Kenny, you and me both! And I totally agree, those big browns will tuck up right under trees and junk. Gotta get your baits close to the cover for sure!
