The Most BEAUTIFUL fish in Michigan | Chasing HUGE Brook Trout | Upper Peninsula Michigan

[@jimd4504]

Man that was so well shot and edited, love every minute of it. Could feel the crisp air! Thank you for sharing

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jim D Thanks, man. I am glad you liked it. It turned out great

[@mattpeters594]

Great footage of beautiful water, forest, and fish. Nothing beats a big Brookie.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Matt Peters Thanks. I can't agree more!

[@Landon.B]

great video! I love the the outdoors and the fishing up in the UP. So beautiful! 👍

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Landon Bergsma Thanks! I need to do more trout fishing next year. I always have so much fun out there!

[@uncle-andy-guitar-herbst]

Fantastic video Mr. Haight. Enjoyed it all. Cool background music too. Your array of cameras is always amazing. I hope you're having a great spring in Yooperland.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@uncle andy guitar herbst Glad you liked it. It was one of my favorite videos I made last year!

[@tylerdesautels1857]

That footage was insane

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Tyler Desautels Thanks, man. I appreciate it!

[@shmoob7]

Wow, that first one you caught in the video was unbelievable. Such an incredible fish. Love what you do, keep it up. It's inspiring.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Shmoob Thank you. I know. That's the nicest brookie I've caught in 34 years. Obviously, now I have try to do it again but with some way to measure it. Just bought a new net to measure it as they are in the bag. Next year will try again!

[@cergiecergnul4916]

Me and 10 of my B7G friends do a trout camp every year in the gorgeous UP...great footage brother!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@cergiecergnul4916 I am so glad you liked it!

[@NickAndCaroline]

Man them some big brooks! 🥹

[@HaightsWanderings]

@NickAndCaroline Absolutely! They were great.

[@mkwy8782]

My brothers and I have had some wonderful times tracking down brookies in a very small Western UP tributary-wow...that was almost 50 years ago. A brother retuned last summer-they're still there! Several of us are going back this summer! We caught a bunch of them in the 12-14 inch range!

[@HaightsWanderings]

That's so cool. I'd love to have experienced the UP back then!

[@mkwy8782]

@@HaightsWanderings I will add that in September of 2020 a brother and I hiked back into a very secluded little brook trout lake in the Boundary Waters and caught 15 to 20 inch brook trout-hand over fist for two days...30 to 40 of them! (The path was not well-worn and there was nobody else on the lake in the two days we were there.) My brother fly fished and I used salted minnows. My brother declares brook trout to be "Our family fish".

[@HaightsWanderings]

@@mkwy8782 That's extremely cool. Back area fishing is the best.

[@davidcudlip6587]

Stomped around quite a bit up there between grouse hunting and fly fishing for trout and ice fishing. Some of the smallest tributaries held some decent size brookies or browns. It was hard to cross any bridge without pulling over and checking the water. Finally got over that affliction. Well, you are really never completely cured.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@David Cudlip I love stopping at the bridges and fishing. Tons of fun!

[@calhiser8265]

Hi Ben. Thanks so much for sharing the last day of season. I have not fished seance the opener. And got driven off the high banks of the twoheearted then by snow. Waiting for things to go north.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Cal Hiser Hey, man. So glad you liked it. Just like... 6 more months until opener! :)

[@ericwakeman6665]

Great video just gorgeous scenery & fish!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@eric Wakeman Thanks, dude. I appreciate the kind words!

[@COYS_1882]

Slick net move and heck of a fish! Looking forward to more content, hope all is well and tight lines.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jason Hrydziusko Hey, man! I hope you are doing well. You're right, those fish were awesome! I was super honored to catch them!

[@sirwinston2368]

Nice brook trout. Thanks for sharing. You do a nice job editing your "film."

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Sir Winston Thanks! I hope to do some more trout videos as soon as the season opens back up!

[@straightflush7657]

Seems like the colors are really bursting this fall. Nice you could catch a few brookies on the last day of the season. Beautiful fish!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Straight Flush Yeah, they are popping! Almost as pretty as the brookies.

[@tmoney6482]

Man love watching you on your channel we have a cabin eastern UP in our family since early 50's so many places to fish and outdoors to enjoy!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@t Money Right on! I fish a bit in the east - I have a specific river that my family fished when I was younger that is also quite special to me. Very cool!

[@chrisbarnett3337]

Beautiful video as usual. Love the fishing and the dare I say, cinematography?

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Chris Barnett Right on! The fishing was awesome that day!

[@jessehamilton957]

Love me some fall brookies, good video man!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Jesse Hamilton Thanks, dude! I appreciate it!

[@matthewvelderman900]

Another great video man!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Matthew Velderman Thanks, dude! It was supremely legit!

[@WyomingOutofDoors]

Good video friend , was just checking out your channel and i joined up

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Wyoming Out of Doors Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Wow I live here in Michigan where abouts are you fishing? The UP?

[@HaightsWanderings]

@The Black Baron Yeah I am in the Yoop

[@connelevish3797]

That's a giant brookie, biggest that I've caught was 11 inches in the Escanaba river near Gwinn.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Connel Evish I am not sure if it was my largest but I think it was. I didn't measure it but I might try to measure the next big one I get!

[@u.p.mi.woodsman5066]

Hey I'm a local here in the u.p. eastern part would love to meet up and do some videos of lived here my whole life and know alot of hot spot caught 4brown trout16 n over and my pb brook trout16 1/2in all out of a small river. 😛

[@HaightsWanderings]

@U.P.MI.woodsman Those are pretty nice trout. So cool!

[@montanastrongremodelrenova1632]

Are there big numbers of fish in those rivers?? are they resident or migratory? thanks!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@montanastrongremodelrenova1632 Very low numbers and they are resident.

[@brooktrout1477]

Loved it as usual, you should add one of those most beautiful fish in the world to your intro ( not that you should change it) I’m just saying

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Brook Trout 1 I was thinking the same thing. I feel that the shot of the big brookie plopping into the water and swimming off is going to join the intro. Maybe I should make a trout version of my intro and also a musky / smallie version. I don't know

[@brooktrout1477]

@@HaightsWanderings I don’t know either, your intro is one of my favorites, but I’m a little impartial to the brookie, keep up the good work

[@HaightsWanderings]

@@brooktrout1477 I have some cool clips from this year that might make it into the new intro. All those clips were from year's past. Sometime this winter I will look it over.

[@wasntme3651]

What part of the UP? I’m in Houghton County.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@wasntme3651 I fish the Western UP mostly

[@shinysidedown9090]

Fisherman's porn....a Brookie in spawning colors!

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Shiny side down Brookies are so beautiful!

[@kadoodak9443]

If you tell me this spot I’d be very grateful

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Kado Odak Hi, thanks for inquiring. Unfortunately I have a strict policy on naming locations as I want to respect the locals that fish these places. I hope you understand. Cheers!

[@duanegenther725]

Youall never say the name of the water your fishing.

[@HaightsWanderings]

@Duane Genther That is right. I try to respect the locals and not disclose information that could cause pressure on the spot. I hope that makes sense.

[@jamesmoody7803]

Stop the music, it defeats the natural beauty of the fish and your surroundings.

[@ericrichards7529]

Great video, do you have email, I'd like to ask you a few questions, thanks!
