    I was brought fishing maybe 3 times as a kid and I hated it every time, and I haven't thought about trying it as an adult. Watching these videos and having you bring me through this hobby of yours really sets my mind in a different state that I don't often end up in. Like the whole thing about another mans trash is another mans treasure. And you really opened my mind to show me, this hobby really is a treasure if you treat it right. Great job on this fish. I probably would've devoured it.

      It’s great to hear people say this! Man oh man, getting out in the middle of nowhere whether you’re by yourself or companied with family or friends is something you have to experience! Getting out and being able to enjoy nature and breathe the fresh crisp air is such a rush..! Let alone being able to catch fish makes the trip even better, the tug is the drug man! Every trip creates a new memory to add to the collection, I look back at pictures every so often with my dad and we talk about what each trip was like. Great hobby that I wish I could turn into a lifestyle🎣

    Chiefz, awesome video my man. Yes, I would definitely eat that, especially camping. Isn't anything wrong with steelhead. Granted now days I let most of them go, not because I don't like them, but because I enjoy fishing for them way more. When we go to Canada and catch Bass they laugh at us for eating them. I'll tell you; they eat just as good as anything else. Stay safe my man and have a Merry Christmas!!

    • @Chiefz
      @Chiefz  7 месяцев назад

    You cooked that fish perfectly 🔥
    I’ve never cooked a fish on a stick fire so it was interesting to see, also the filleting the fish into a butterfly was a new one for me. I’d usually fillet the fish by going the common way, knife horizontal and using the backbone has a guide, cut all the way to the tail 😌👍 or else cook it hole and add butter garlic a bit of lemon in it and wrap it up 🤤

    not gonna lie, I'd fuck up that steelhead. But not because it looks good or doesn't look good but just because we're camping, eating what we catch, river side, deep in the Michigan wilderness with our waders on, stomping through the bush and the river like tanks, untouchable. to me it's such a cool kid like feeling. I love fish also. take some lemon next time. the steelhead in my pro pic is from the Muskegon many years ago (circa 2017/2018).I fish the PM, Muskegon, and manistee

Some people don't understand that you can't catch and cook every single Steelhead you catch. It's just unethical to the sport BUT cooking up the little guys is fine and they taste delicious. I kept a couple large ones many years ago and they tasted terrible, but the little eater sized ones taste delicious. I enjoyed the video, keep'em coming!

    • @paul340mopar
      @paul340mopar 7 месяцев назад +2

      Steelhead are born in freshwater streams, where they spend the first years of life. They then swim out to the ocean or one of the Great Lakes where most of their growth occurs. Steelhead are also known as rainbow trout. However, they are typically called steelhead when they spend most of their lives in the open waters of the Great Lakes.

    • @ericklagos1431
      @ericklagos1431 7 месяцев назад

      @paul340mopar no, that's not how that works. Look up the Definition of Steelhead. Any rainbow trout can produce a Steelhead, and any Steelhead can produce a rainbow trout. However, to become a Steelhead, it has must travel to the salt, not a great lake. Y'all just have large trout. Not steelhead

    • @paul340mopar
      @paul340mopar 7 месяцев назад

      Dude...Rainbow were brought here in the late 1800's from California to replace the extinct Grayling. Rainbows live their entire life in Rivers/Streams. A Steelhead is a completely different species than a standard Rainbow Trout because of it's migratory nature. A Steelhead is a strictly anadromous fish, meaning it returns to the river where it was born. Our fish "Migrate" from River to Great Lakes and Back, That is what makes it a "Steelhead", nothing to due with Saltwater. @@ericklagos1431
