Utah Cutthroat Slam - All 4 Subspecies in One Day! - Fly Fishing for Utah's Native Cutthroat Trout

[@FJX2000_Productions]

Notes: - yes I know I spelled “spoiler” wrong, that’s what happens when you edit at 1:00 am 😂 - I apologize for not using the best fish handling techniques in this video (getting hands wet, keeping fish in the water, etc.) I will do better in the future, I’m still learning! Guess that’s why I’m not a fishing KZbinr 😂

[@trout.addiction]

This was such a great video. Makes me so ready for warm days and high country streams again

[@jomarzan]

awesome adventure. I've completed the Slam twice. the yellowstone takes some work to catch.

[@ifitsnotbrokenfixit1193]

👍👍 a day fishing and just relaxing is well worth it.

[@k_kelsey]

Good work, sir.

[@tomcook1740]

Congrats on a successful day of fishing, filming and driving.

[@FJX2000_Productions]

Thanks so much!

[@AZBwana]

Great Job! I am heading up this summer to try the slam as well and I can't wait after watching this.

[@FJX2000_Productions]

Hope you enjoy it!! Since this video I have actually become one of the volunteers for the slam and have learned a lot along my journeys since I’ve now completed 9 slams myself! Reach out through the Slam social media accounts on Facebook or Instagram if you have any questions!

This is an entertaining video! Congrats on completing your second slam and for doing it in a day. I have completed it twice myself, but not in a day. Just need the Bear River for my 3rd. I am also extremely jealous of your FJ, I have always wanted one of those! I know you commented on better fish handling, since you had a net……if I am getting a pic I keep the fish in the net, in the water until right before I take my pic. Then get them back in asap. I was wondering if a few of those were going to make it. Great vid and all the best to you!

[@FJX2000_Productions]

Thanks! And yes I love my FJ too 👍 and I totally get what you’re saying about fish handling. I’ve even purchased a new, way better net recently (same one used by Tenkara Addict) since the one in this video has holes that are far too large for the size fish I was catching, they can just slip right out! (hence why I usually didn’t use the net)

[@benhuffstuff]

@@FJX2000_Productions I get it! I was with my friend fishing this summer and he had a net like that. It didn’t look like the holes were big enough to lose a fish but he lost a couple. What kind of net did you get? I have a Frabil. It is lightweight and inexpensive and works great.

[@FJX2000_Productions]

@@benhuffstuff my new net is called the Measure Net

[@kelpcookies]

Looks great 👍 hope to see more vids from your general adventures!

[@FJX2000_Productions]

Thanks Kelli! I need to edit footage from more of our family trips.

[@michael184272]

Very interesting.. thanks for sharing.

[@eseg3368]

We need a update on the 255/85 AT how good are they off road and highway on wet conditions keep up the great vids

[@TBIRDBTN504]

Hello I'm a new subscriber and love your videos would you do a walk around and talk about all the mods you have done on your second fj

[@Project_EG2]

Can you make a video explaining how to shift the 4x4 lever please. I test drove a 2009 FJ and had no idea how to shift from 2H to 4H to 4L. I wanted to make sure it worked but I head a terrible grinding noise and felt so bad!

[@FJX2000_Productions]

So while parked or driving slowly forward all you have to do is pull the 4x4 lever straight back and it will shift into 4Hi. To go into 4Lo however, you must already be in 4Hi, and then you come to a stop, put the FJ in neutral, and then shift the 4x4 lever to the right and then forward all the way. 👍

[@waynevalorpi2541]

Can you tell me about a 2008 fj that came with the Ted supercharger from the factory. It has 154000 miles with a 6 speed manual currently. It still runs okay but I’m Leary of the stress on the trans and motor in general because of the supercharger.

[@FJX2000_Productions]

So no FJs ever came from the factory with the TRD supercharger pre-installed, but some dealerships would install the supercharger themselves on brand new models that came in. So if I had to guess that is what is the case for the FJ you’re talking about if it was purchased new with the supercharger already installed. As far as I know I haven’t heard any stories of the transmission or motor becoming over-stressed due to the supercharger, even at higher mileage. As long as regular maintenance is done and you drive it appropriately it should last a long time!

[@JB-bs7vn]

Hello Mr. future dentist from Canada! Hey do you have a build list for your FJ? And do you have a way to get privately in touch for questions about your build? Cheers

[@FJX2000_Productions]

Here is a link to my build thread if that helps! www.fjcruiserforums.com/threads/icy-fjx2000s-trail-teams-build.716850/

[@waynevalorpi2541]

TRD supercharger from factory in 2008

[@FJX2000_Productions]

Awesome! Be sure to check out my recent supercharger videos!

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

There is no way all these trout could survive without artificial breeding programs. I highly doubt the cutthroat slam is helping them. they have a roughly 20% chance to die when they are caught, and i'd bet at least the yellowstone cutthroats are only caught even once a month. That said i've paid my fees and will be making my own documentary of this adventure. Hope my own experience changes my mind.

[@benhuffstuff]

Although I feel like at least three of these fish were kept out of the water for way too long…….I disagree with the comment that 20% of all fish caught will die. I spend a lot of time on the water (at least 2x per month, every month of the year) and I think you would see a lot more dead fish if that 20% comment were true. That being said…….being out of the water this long is one of the things that would do it. Especially in the hot summer months. Regarding the fish survival without the conservation efforts………I agree with you. Especially with the Yellowstone. I really think it depends on the water. I don’t think a lot of these Yellowstones are surviving year to year in these tiny streams. Especially with the drought we have been having. Probably a lot of stocking. In some areas I think they do well and thrive. With that said…..Trout are resilient little buggers! One of the many reasons I love chasing them.

[@ElKayCee2270]

“I wanna see you live.” But not enough to keep him in the water and out of the dirt. That fish died within a couple days. Didn’t bother with the rest of the video.

[@FJX2000_Productions]

Yeah this video was pretty early on in my cutthroat fishing adventures, and I've learned a lot in the past 2 years about proper fish handling techniques. If you want to check out my fishing YT channel, look up Chasing Cutts! I go on tons of fishing adventures now-a-days!
