STEELHEAD FISHING INSANITY |

[@STLHDaddict]

You need a rubber coated net. Stop letting the fish beat themselves up on the bank. Protect our resources!

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thank you all for your great ideas and input on taking better care of the fish. I will be shopping today for a net that will be rubber coated and hopefully provide the fish with more of a safe release.

[@ReelFishingNW]

The fish bang themselves on the rocks every day. If you care about the fish so much. Why don't you stop crying & quit attacking a fellow fisherman. When NFS & WFC are taking your fishing Rights away. You don't know what you are talking about kid!

[@AutomagicFishing]

@@ReelFishingNW easy now brother! I appreciate everybody giving input. I don’t feel I was attacked. Tho I’ve never needed nets unless fishing from a boat, it’s nice to have and makes landing fish easier. One doesn’t have to 100% agree that nets are better for the fish to make adjustments even if it comforts a fellow fishermen’s mind a little. As long as I’ve got a buddy willing to run the net it’s an improvement. (I have noticed that the fish freak out more in a net than sliding onto the bank)

Nice fish, always waiting for the next video ❤

Thanks man! That’s awesome

[@tannermunsell4534]

Nice! Love that hole

[@AutomagicFishing]

Not many people have access to it

[@tannermunsell4534]

@@AutomagicFishing yeah I went with a friend that knows the owners. I will never go without him.

[@KMORGAN302]

Got to get them eggs.. lol

[@AutomagicFishing]

It’s always a treat to get fish that have eggs with them

[@davidgreer9567]

Wow, what a day. Do you ever get skunked? You're slaying them. Great rod

[@AutomagicFishing]

I don’t remember the last time I got skunked

[@brendansmith234]

That’s worth falling in!

[@AutomagicFishing]

!! Thanks for watching

[@josephheffron5863]

Such a good video I subscribed on both my accounts... Love the enthusiasm!

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thanks 😎!!

[@ReelFishingNW]

Sure makes me miss fishing, as soon as the river drops im heading out.

[@AutomagicFishing]

Don’t wait any longer

[@diefex3499]

Hell yeah nice catches i know that spot ivwas there yesterday, and seen a bunch of footprints must have been you guys. Lol

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

Might suggest some studs for your wading boots to help you out waiting.

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thanks. 🙏 I normally don’t go down river but by some chance it was a whopper 18# steelhead I went for it rather than tight lining it.

[@AutomagicFishing]

I usually do good with felt. I guess studs might help.

[@benbishop-zl7ov]

Water looks dialed

[@AutomagicFishing]

It’s been so great

[@davidgreer9567]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Be careful, though. Can't make more videos if you fall and bonk yourself

[@AutomagicFishing]

Haha 😂 that’s true.

[@everythingfishing5450]

Nightmare jigs tipped with shrimp do really well for me give it a shot.

[@AutomagicFishing]

I’ve got some procured shrimp. 🍤 I need to try that sometime

[@michaelelkins6043]

Quit putting us young bucks to shame with your river crossing shenanigans 😂 nice work 👊

[@AutomagicFishing]

Ok I’ll sit at the plunking shack in my camp chair

[@codysutherland5359]

You ever try running a pink worm? That’s what I have caught my biggest on 17.5 lbs. but I have hooked my biggest on beads but lost them

[@AutomagicFishing]

I need to make myself try new ways of catching them

[@MichaelHutchinsonPmsrefugee]

be careful out there. waders can be dangerous when filled up

[@AutomagicFishing]

Always wear a belt!!!

[@OregonFishingAdventures]

What a wild ride this video was lol great day out there man

[@AutomagicFishing]

It certainly pushed me over my comfort zone

[@gaelangarrett7385]

Man, you can’t stop killing it! Love your content. Thanks brotha!

[@AutomagicFishing]

Definitely on a mission to fish as much as possible!!!!!

[@peytonmahlberg427]

[@AutomagicFishing]

Been some beautiful fish this year

[@OregonFishingAdventures]

Hell yeah man the steelhead have definitely arrived now just renewed my license today can't wait to get out there this week

[@AutomagicFishing]

I’m sure you will be getting your share!! Go get’em

[@toddnicholas8945]

Well, that was certainly epic, sorry you got wet, but what a day🇺🇸

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thanks Todd! Glad you are enjoying my channel!!

[@fishingthenw1642]

You got the honey hole my guy!!!! Great video as usual. Keep up the good work!

[@AutomagicFishing]

Targeting new spots tomorrow morning!! Tight lines

[@yyoohh]

How d u like Stryker rod compared to Gloomis ? Nice catch

[@AutomagicFishing]

Both are quality players. This Stryker seems to do its job. It handled a 15 # salmon. It was hooked on the east side of a west bound fish and took the beating

[@PeteGonzales-rv5ym]

That’s what I call a rodeo a lot of action and fun to watch 😮

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thanks 😊!! Glad to hear

[@JenniferR-vd3vl]

In it for the long haul! That rod looks good- do you know if any of your viewers have gotten one since you got one? I’d love to hear how they are doing with theirs!

[@AutomagicFishing]

Not sure how I can find out. Maybe in the comments people can post what they are using

[@turnkeylife5105]

Nice work👌 how long does this run last? How was last year vs this year?

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thank you for watching! Last year I fished early and it wasn’t as good. I didn’t fish after that cuz I had a full time job. There should be good opportunities through the middle of March.

[@AutomagicFishing]

@@steverichardson8655 that’s awesome 😎

[@kylemerriner3443]

You guys really need to kearn how to tail fish and keep them in the water you shouldnt be bank flipping fish your going to release especially when you see its a wild you dint continue to pull it up th bank

[@AutomagicFishing]

I hear ya. Got many comments already. Thanks for insight. I don’t know but think it might be harsher IMO to net fish. One way or another it has to be controlled enough to unhook them. I don’t think we did anything terribly harmful. 🤷 This wild one we couldn’t see fin till on bank. After that we tried to keep its nose in or close to water as possible. Not one fish had any trouble swimming away Guess a plastic net would be a solid investment or just bonk them. Again I do appreciate your input.

[@ShenpaiWasTaken]

A plastic net would be a solid investment, you are right about a normal net potentially being worse. But yeah as you know fish are super weak to blunt Force trauma and have really delicate eyes so whenever those are rubbed/scraped against anything they can easily lose their eyesight. Appreciate you listening and not taking offense to the constructive criticism. Everyone loves to jump on people for bad catch and release which isn't a bad thing but it can come off the wrong way sometimes..

[@johnwallace5098]

where is this filmed what river??

[@AutomagicFishing]

Thanks for watching! I don’t give out the locations of where I fish to keep the integrity of the river…and so the locals don’t put a knife in my tires. 😂

[@johnwallace5098]

seems putting the video online is enough to piss off the "locals"@@AutomagicFishing

[@chrisclearman5244]

I'm sorry. If you're going to release a fish, especially steelhead and salmon, hatchery or wild, you DO NOT drag them onto the bank. Protect the resources.

[@AutomagicFishing]

I can appreciate your point. Thanks for tuning in.
