Fishing the World's #1 Lake that You've Probably NEVER Heard of...

- I first heard of this unbelievable secluded mountain lake about a year ago, with trophy fish specimens that transcend ANYTHING we've ever seen in the sport. I hit the water with Joey the MF'er and Coleslaw with a legitimate chance to land a World Record Bass.

Best catch of the video goes to Cole...outstanding drone work. He needs a raise and more air time!

@@slimetime4668 ? What lmao
That was very cool on all accounts , the drone , fishing , commentary , camera work , Cole on camera catching a fish for a change and it looked really peaceful there .
The Clearwater is beautiful country!
Awesome video as usual. btw those are Bull Trout, they are genetically different from Dolly Varden trout which are native to sea run streams and rivers.
Your videos are always the highlight of my day!
Man I sure am loving the frequent uploads!! Always great content!
I lost my shit when ol boy dry heaved🤣🤣🤣
My PB for smallmouth is 6lbs. 6 ounces, caught from shore.
Would never say where u are bud,but i know! In about 1988-89 my grandpa and i went with a old timer that lived close to the lake.we caught instantly huge dolly's, rainbows and last day caught 4 or 5 lake trout that were over 25lbs.we caught a few huge smallies while trout fishing. They were in like friggin 200ft of water.killer lake though!
That Dolly Varden was HUGE compared to the ones I used to catch when I was stationed
on Adak Island up in Alaska. Pretty fish and fun to catch. Not a great reputation. They are known for raiding the beds and feeding on eggs of other trout species.
That's the most ABSOLUTELY beautiful lake I've ever seen.
I live here
“The locals have been keeping it on the down low”….. and that’s how we prefer to keep things.
Warms my heart to know this place is out there in the age of internet. May it stay that way.
You still gotta catch ‘em haters gonna hate. Awesome video Big Ben 👊🏻🔥
Awesome video. This lake has been in a drought for some time. Finding a place to launch was tough. With the rain and snow that we've finally got its gonna be a good year.
One of my favorite places to fish. Nor Cal wink wink! Lol.
Sad that would be a great day for an average angler and milk looks like he’s pissed off all day .. video has weird vibes.. sorry your jaded from umbrella rig catching 13lb bass all day!! What a beautiful view and appreciation of your location. I would give anything to be there and not catch a single fish
Thank god I live where we have monster smallmouth, my pb is only 7.1 but my partner caught a 9.1 in a tournament two weeks ago
Lake Shasta?
Lake ocheecobee Florida.
No
Someone turn up the 808s for me,
back when I was starvin no one
made a plate for me
My opinion, this is the best small mouth fishery in the PNW. So happy to come across this, no one knows this area unless you’re from here or have friends from there that take you.
Oh yeah without a doubt, the next world record is in this lake and I bet it's 13+
For sure going to have them RUclips warriors saying you’re showing their honey hole and blah blah blah like that Texas lake last year 😂😂
Cole. That hat is boss. I could smell that deer.. smellavison. Good luck Dad
Wow your homie needs to work on fish handling skills
Was easy to figure out the name of that reservoir and it’s location. We’re on the way!
spot burner
U want big smallmouth go too Michigan there's more than one lake that holds double digit smallies. Even the rivers they have been caught up to 10lbs
Sick seeing you in my home state now come down south to orange county and come fish some saltwater Bass you definitely won't be disappointed!
You gotta come fish sturgeon Bay for smallies
This isn't a lake, it's a reservoir. Almost everyone I know who fished it wants the Kokanee, but times are changing.
Knew the lake as soon as you said monster smallies… I’m born and raised here and ain’t ever leaving. 😎
I love that the locals are keeping it a secret. It's beautiful. And should stay that way! Love the dead deer! Great way to kick off hunting season down here. Lol
Just bought a mfer rod 7”2 heavy. It’s fuggin nasty my boy.
My man Joey! Looks like you, Matt, and Tim won't have it all to yourselves in early spring anymore
Ole cole slaw is pumping out some fire edits 💪🏼🔥
I love fishing British Columbia.
Why don’t you go to castaic lake in California. There’s been like a 3 dozen lmbs over 20 lbs caught there. And by the way you didn’t hide the location very well when u said NorCal. I won’t say what lake your on though lol
Imagine being so spoiled you’re demonstrably upset catching rainbows bulltrout and smallmouth all in the same day lol
I like this video because you’re back to fishing other places are used to watch it because you didn’t live in Texas and I do and then why do all you RUclipsrs moved to Texas I get it there’s great fishing here but I like to watch you guys fish other places great video keep up the good work
I moved to Texas because 2 of my businesses are located here and so I can fish open water year round. I can't speak for anyone else.
You're up in my neck of the woods. Thats my all time favorite lake to fish!!! I caught a 9lb 4oz smalley there a couple years ago. Cant wait for the tournament this year. Great fishing though and hope you had a blast. If you want to hit a few more good lakes around there sometime hit me up.
Appreciate you watching! Would love if you’d shoot my a DM on FB or IG and we could check out some of those other lakes 👍🏻👍🏻
What is the lake called?
I think I saw Beegfut at 12:36...or maybe it was one of them there hippies...
Milliken, you handle very very fragile fish like a rookie. Take a lesson and show some professionalism!
Deer often go to water when mortally injured. Lol best part of this whole video.
Really thought this was gonna be a bullards bar video
Im a local and live in nor cal, I think I know the lake pretty well. Good job man
I know things can get a little awkward when you fish with a sub , this seemed like one of those times .
I know where thats at and like others have said it's a tough lake to figure out. It does have monster small mouths but I personally ain't catch much the few times I tried fishing the lake.
Looks like Shasta
Smallies….cold water winter pattern…..woulda been a hell of a place for an A-rig😏
We slanged it. It was COLD cold. Like sub 40 degree water a lot of places. They were stuck in the mud or out in 500'
The smallies here on texoma crush some topwater.
He can honestly say yes when somebody asks if he caught a deer🤣
Favorite place on earth!!
Uh Oh!!! Y’all coming for the Dale Hallow World Record! Good luck!
Nice secret lake you got there, it’d be a shame if I revealed the name and location of it 👀
Warning he is a scammer there is no ongoing giveaway
🤫 shush
It’s Trinity
Cheers for keeping the spot on the DL 🤘
Pardee Reservoir?
@@deadpanfish definitely
Trinity
😂😂@@jonpotter1632
I've only had the opportunity to fish 1 great smallmouth Lake in Tenn. Which is close to where I live. Great video 🔥
Dale Hollow
@@Mjones8383 yessir it's no secret either 😅
that ending tho! wow. Hopefully y'all go out again and land that 8lber!
I hate how easy it is to find places now because of google lens
Awesome place!!! Hope you stay and catch your PB Ben!
Milliken you look like your in my neck of the woods here in Oregon. I think I know where you are if you're in oregon
Nope, close (ish) though
Finally got myself 4 smallies here in Ohio today 😎 biggest was about 2.5 pounds. Can't complain. The ones y'all got today are my PBs. I hope y'all get a record. Tight lines 😎
what part of Ohio are you in? I caught a giant in vermillion 2 years ago in spring
I've never been up to Erie. Would love to go. I'm about 15 minutes north of Dayton.
Yeah man that deff. Sounds like the place to be. I'd shit myself if I caught a 6 pounder.
@Pure Cars that's awesome. do you need a boat ?
@Pure Cars yeah all I have is a small jon boat at the moment. do you think the rise in quality smallmouth is from the Goby infestation? They do love those ugly little things.
I live in Orofino I know we’re your at
I'm from Spokane, the shot of them coming down the grade tipped me off. They must be above the dam on the reservoir. Never been up there but I've fished all over below it.
Fs killed halve the trout u caught
Soon as I saw the lake and the title I thought you were going to be in northern cali catching giant spots
I have only fished that lake once I really want to get back up there someday my PB come from a lake in the south part of the state it was 7lbs 9oz
Man we ain’t seen Cole on the cam in a min…… we need slaw back in some videos he makes for good entertainment
I need coleslaws hat ..
I know this lake I think everyone is confused
Cole on the drone and killing it some great footage .
I like the mix of fish small jaws dolly's rainbows what is not to like
Call it a reservoir, not a lake. May be producing slaunches but damming rivers has catastrophic impacts to the ecosystem down stream. Really wish more outdoors people would focus on the overall human impact on our natural resources rather than crying about other people fishing their "spot". Sounds like this is a reservoir in Northern California. One google search and two clicks says this might be Pardee reservoir. Good luck!
Just letting u know that I’m from around here and it not pardee
This reservoir actually helps the downstream systems by releasing cold water in hot weather, helping other fish species. Tons of Kokanee too, good eating.
Bro you came to my state and didn't even let me know 😭 I live 45 min away for school
Props to the local dude! He is obviously dailed in!!!
Just because your buddy considers himself a smallmouth elitist doesn't mean you shouldn't show trout a little respect when handling them. That goes for all fish by the way.
This guy doesn't even respect the bass he 'Loves', so what do you expect.
@@MrCalamiteh Agreed.
dude did you see how hard he set the hook on that dolly like jesus dude your a menace
I’m just curious what was done wrong? I live in southern Oklahoma. Trout doesn’t live here. Are trout a sensitive critter?
@@christophershelton1735 They're very sensitive and should be handled gently. You can't be jerking them from the water and dumping them on the boat deck multiple times. When I catch trout I rarely even handle them because they have a slime coating that protects them and I don't want to disturb that. You can but I just don't. I'll net them and free the hook and release them or just grab the jig or lure I'm using and pop them loose. It's usually a small, barbless hook so it comes out easy.
What lake is this?
That deer catch tho… “my fingers reek” o man, I haven’t laughed that hard in a while.
Ben....DO WHAT THAT OTHER DUDE WAS DOING!!! Great stuff. I am absolutely adding this to my Must Go list of destinations for next year? Smallie's AND Dolly Varden's....that's crazy! Hopefully, you caught the only zombie deer in the lake...Gotta go...I have my 6th Sense monthly mystery bag waiting in my mailbox. I love it when that email notification hits!!!!
Beautiful scenery guys! Really nice size fish and multiple species, even Cole got one on camera!
It might be a "secret" for you but anglers in this region know what's up.
I've been fishing up there since the early 90's. There are other lakes around this region that have the potential to kick out a giant smallie as well. I won't mention them by name as they wouldn't withstand the pressure.
thats not a dolly varden thats a BULL trout
That North Cal Lake straight fire! Shhhh! 🤫🤫🤫
I cant tell if this is sarcasm or not but this is not in california
This is 40 miles from my house. I took my 3 little boys up there about a month ago and they all broke the 5# mark. Pretty special place.
I find it funny, I see of bunch grown up kids in the comments crying and whining about you blowing up spots and lakes, lol….let the man fish!
My opinion, this is the best small mouth fishery in the PNW. So happy to come across this, no one knows this area unless you’re from here or have friends from there that take you.
I grew up a few hours away from there. Beautiful country. I live further south now but definitely want to get back up there for some fishing. Love the fishing content in this video but just seeing the scenery was amazing for me.
What lake
Fish it all the time man. The smalleys get that big because theres a ton of very small Kokanee in there and they gorge themselves on that high protein diet.
bull trout, not dolly varden
My backyard.... I love that lake :)
I'll take that as invitation from a fellow MFer 👌👌
Yeah me too what lake do we live on again?
@@brandonkhang1571 haha nice try bud
@@brandonkhang1571 pardee
Aww poor baby afraid all the fisherman will catch his fish
My MAN!!! Dope video and that fucking carcass would be sobering 🌳😩🌲. Can’t wait for the next ones my man. Keep’em cummin
POPPED YOUR CHERRY....A MONTH TO EARLY...TROUT OWN THE LAKE B4 THE BROWNIES MOVE UP!
i've never seen such blatant disrespect for trout before. not only the verbal descriptions, but the fish handling.
People are mixed on this. I fished a lake in the early 90's that ,when conditions were right, often produced 50 fish per person with 5 and 6's common daily. I had caught two bass over 8 and my wife had caught one monster bass that I thought could have beat the current lake record of 9 plus #'s. I let it go as I do with all others. At that point the lake had been open for about 10 yrs to the public. Round about yr 2000 there was a write up in a VA fishing magazine saying it was one of the best lakes in the USA for large mouth. Never did it say to respect the lake...No one did either. Infact people would keep bass in their live wells to take home and release in THEIR lakes.The lake was flooded with bass boats every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We had been gas engine free from the start. Even though they don't run they still pollute the water. Plus the lake could not hold the traffic. It took 10yrs to recover the added foot traffic on the lake and property. There was zero profit made by the influx of people. This was not lake Kerr or Gaston but a small community reservoir.To this day the lake has not recovered to the point that it is considered good fishing. Please don't come now, as we are allowing the lake to rest. Instead you could build your own local lake and when you can respect your lake you are welcome back to visit.
Relax this place you speak of isn’t yours and no one I’m sure holds your opinion as an authority.
Hahaha what a ridiculous comment. So I can't come fish a public lake and not say the name of the lake or state it's in? On top of that...a lake that's extremely difficult to get to and figure out? Alright.
@@The_Bass_Stunters I know a little about maintaining lakes. Most importantly is reminding people to respect the water like good MF'Rs.
@@danielbarbee6606 There are no largemouth in that lake he is fishing
You ever wanna come to samllie heaven let me know. Northern Michigan. I'll leave it at that lol
I just saw your Orkin commercial your ass had me hollering !!!!
Oh man this is exciting I’ve been looking to buy a house here for the past few months. Waiting for the market to cool down. Thanks for not sharing the location, it’s my favorite lake to fish. Absolute GEM
Thats not a dolly thats a bulltrout caught and 11 pounder out of pend oreille
Fisherman that don't want other fisherman to catch fish lol. Next .....you drove a hr and half from Colfax washington... which direction?
I can't believe this dude wanted that jighead and little swimbait bad enough to touch that deer corpse with his bare hands 🤮
I'd pay you 20 bucks to not have to touch that nastiness, and if I really wanted my bait back I'd at least try with some pliers first.
Everyone sleeps on spinner baits! People always wanna go to tubes and rubbers
You have the best camera man for sure. And glad to see him rip some lips. Wtg SLAW. CANT WAIT TO SEE U CATCH A BIG. From the home of the record Kentucky
What a fail brother you need to make a come back vid…. You really do 🤟🏼👅
If u went all that way and only fished one day , there better have been snow the next day for a week
PB smallmouth bass. 6lb Lake Jocassee, south Carolina
