    In this video I chased native brook trout through the mountains of West Virginia. I was joined by Fish Hawk and I ended up catching a huge native brook trout. At a little over 13 inches it was a truly giant fish. Hope you guys enjoy!

    Good fishing mate. It would be nice if you bent down the barbs on your hooks, it certainly makes releasing easier. Good for the fish too!

    • @hardmanfishing
      @hardmanfishing  5 лет назад

      struck2soon yeah I actually started to at the end of that video. And I’ve been doing it sense. It’s not only easier on the fish but it’s easier on me. I’m also not going to get upset over losing a little brookie haha tight lines man!

      Hardman Fishing Adventures good man! I have been fishing barbless for the past few years, the number of lost fish is not as high as I would have thought. One other benefit: on those odd occasions where you accidentally get a hook in your finger/arm/nose it pops out without having to resort to crying like a little child!

    As a flyfisher myself, I know that we can be a little zealous about not revealing the locations of our favorite honey holes but it would be interesting to know what part of the country this is in. Judging from the slightly cloudy looking water, I'd say...east coast somewhere? Out here in the west where I'm from our small streams like this one are generally gin clear and very cold. No matter where you are, that's still a nice mess of brookies and a 13½ incher is nothing to sneeze at. Nice vid! Looks like a fun day.
