What an amazing little creek! That's a real interesting streamer, but they definitely like it. Browns are my favorite here too in Oregon. It sure is disheartening though to see the trash along and just up from the banks. Why people why! Stop doing this! Thanks for the video.
I'm glad you like it! Took me way too long to edit it and make it feel like a typewriter was typing and telling the story. I spent probably 15 hours editing this video alone.
Such a gorgeous trout. It's so sad to me that the river is so polluted and full of trash. Sad to see us hurting such a gorgeous river full of gorgeous fish. Congrats on your catch dude!
Congrats on the gorgeous Browns. My favorite to catch are Browns, and Brook Trout. What I like to call educated fish. Super smart with eyes like an Eagle. Nice video. Wish I could give it more than 1 thumbs up.
Pretty incredible fish, that hook jaw was something wicked.. Here in NZ that would be a trophy so for the US that's for sure a fish of a lifetime.. Come to NZ you'll enjoy it
One of the first times someone from NZ hasn't said "small fish" hahaha thanks for watching man! It is indeed a fish of a lifetime. But they're here if you put the time in. I definitely plan on coming to NZ in the next few years. Just have to save up the money to be able to afford the trip.
LOVED LOVED LOVED this episode. Thanks so much for taking us with you. When presented with a fish like this, a little reverence is a good thing and you displayed that deep love and reverence for these fish. Just one of the many reasons I'm subscribed.
Lovely specimen of a creek monster Brownie, great respect for how you look after the fish after capture, and your careful release. Only passionate Brown Trout fisherman, understand the emotional attachment we get to every capture and release, of these beautiful and amazing Trout. The hardships of life in tiny streams, rarely lets fish survive for so long, and prosper to grow to such amazing lengths.
It seemed to take him forever to tire himself out enough to find your net!!! And his hook-jaw was the most pronounced I've ever seen!! And living in that relatively small stream, probably his whole life. Amazing specimen guys. You guys are THE BEST YTube Trout producers hands down❗️
Unbelievable right there. So glad you named it, and what a name it was. Crazy to have gotten a chance to get that fish twice in the same day. Sometimes luck will be on your side. Keep it up and thanks as always for sharing. Good luck on the journey to 10K!
you couldn’t physically turn all that time in between into a watchable video if you tried obviously but yeah most ppl show 1/8 of the fight and the fish but not loosing it finding it or how hard they rly pull
@@spearrodnet That would be incredibly hard.. we've caught a few fish pushing 21 or so. But anything over that on a dry is more luck than anything else lol at least where we fish
Beautiful male. Thanks for taking care of the fish so we'll. I gate when people lift the catch up and walk around or squeeze it some the air bags empty. Good job.
Really love the channel ! Very inspiring to watch. This is the kind of fishing we did as kids in my neighborhood back in the 70’s. Really beautiful fish! What breaks my heart is seeing all the trash left behind on the shore and floating past in the creek.
Awsome video !!I have heard stories over the years about fish of this size in mountain creeks I now believe 100 %Excellent camera work of a great battle with an epic Brown troutKeep up the great videos !!
Holy Hardman!! Don't Horse It! @1:35, J/K, I take that back, now that's a Rodriguez @16:11!!!... ...way to play him, that was "Textbook Tankwork". Killer Job on the Video, GOD Bless You Hardmans! Tank You! (Pun intended)lol.
Beautiful fish and great job filming. As a young man I fished in that area of the country. I am much older now but would gladly come back "home" to donate my time to help clean up the trash in and along that mountain stream. I would promise that I would never fish or divulge its exact location just to know that I would be doing something right for such a productive trout stream. Just announce a stream cleanup day and I will drive the 500 miles to be there.....as long as I'm still alive...lol
@@hardmanfishing Where do I find your email to get a location? My only restriction from coming there so soon is this Coronavirus.....my wife and I are self quarantined due to our age and her chronic lung disease.
Just let me know! Believe it or not we met the guy who found our net from the fall. He said he'd get in contact with us and return it. What are the chances?
Awesome video, that was a really nice catch at 13 minutes, did you notice all the trash and bottles all around, it’s sad to see that , and 98% of the time is not even from ppl fishing, just ppl driving past tossing garbage. Still an awesome catch, it always surprises me the size of the fish you catch in these small waters. Keep up the awesome work
Great day. As you probably know, Big trout (over 14 inches) are carnivorous and have to be to maintain their size, especially in such a creek. This is a great little video.
thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this video and Tank was truly incredible. Fish of a lifetime man!!! Congratulations and thanks for sharing him with us!!
An absolute beast of a brown! I like the way that you keep all your trout in the water prior to release. Same as me, though I have never caught a brown that big.
Thanks for another excellent and entertaining video; Tank is the perfect name for that Brown! The trash is a sorry commentary on the inequality of our economy. We see similar things in hardscrabble areas of the Northeast. The truly poor struggle too hard to live, to participate in "spring clean ups". A lot of that trash looks like it arrives from upstream during high water, as well. Not making excuses- it's truly awful to see- but trying to understand cause and effect! Serious economic change is needed STAT!
Jeffrey Lea unfortunately I don’t see much change happening on that are for a long time. But I do plan on posting a lot of the spring cleanings! Thanks for watching
Nice job keeping a ton of pressure on that fish and keeping it from burying down into any of those snags. That will be a fish story that you still tell people about when you're old!
Thanks Greg! This story is definitely one we won't forget. I think there's only 2 other fish that we have a lot of history with similar to that one. But I doubt we ever catch them. Thanks for watching!
Amazing content yet again, and congrats on that beast of a trout! Also interesting technique to fish those streamers in a jigging method, are those streamers weighted heavy or do you use sinking line? You should do a streamer tying video sometime!
It is a weird technique used mainly because of the size of the creek. If we bow cast or roll cast the fish tend to spook, so we found it easier to lay the streamer on the water. The flies are weighted but not as much as you might think. Thanks for watching! And we might do some tying videos in the future.
I’ve been following your videos for awhile and it’s great to see how you keep getting better at it. Both you’re fishing and video quality have really improved I’m interested in seeing how far you can go with this. I think you have a career Good luck and keep em coming
@@hardmanfishing there are a few spots that I can catch some big browns here in AZ. But I get a wet suit and snorkel and clean them up every once and a while. It seems after I clean some of these areas up I catch bigger fish
@@wnated This is a slightly different story. This isn't just local fisherman leaving trash... this is decades and decades of trash built up from the locals who literally don't have a real way to dispose of their trash. The amount of time it would take to clean up this area would be staggering and would mean nothing without a change in the local philosophy.
@@hardmanfishing all to true unfortunately. I hope one day plastic becomes extremely valuable and then we'll see if it's laying around anymore but only time will tell. 🍻
I tell you what this was a really good video. Great back round music. Also good footage with someone who doesn’t have a bad out look on every little thing that goes on
I seen the mention of the trash in the water there. It breaks my heart too. I am from West Virginia originally and some of those very narrow creeks flood constantly and can get high quickly. They get up around the garages and back yards and take a lot of debris. Of course some hill billies will stay right in the same area knowing they may get the floods more than once. Nothing wrong with building higher up but the mountains can be steep on both sides and most building is done in the hollers. Don’t get offended about hillbilly. I am one. I graduated from the big hi school of Harmon high school in Randolph county. I lived on a road With three houses on it and the road was 4 miles long. I miss the old hills

Gotta love how things work out! Thanks for watching man
HAHAHA! That's why a sense of humor is essential to making it through life. 🤣
@@ccmusic2249 Yep, I laugh at myself way too much.
@@ccmusic2249 Hey, quality water = quality trout...even though the neighbors trash the area's land....have seen it too many times...
Great video! Nice fish! That brown was huge! Have you tried fly fishing for salmon?
I unfortunately have not gotten that chance. I will one day though! Thanks for watching
I love the release clips!!! That's the best part. Also it breaks my heart seeing all that trash in the river
Made me sad how disgusting the river was.
I agree, that is sad.
Start to finish, that was the best fly fishing video I’ve ever seen in my life

Have you caught him yet? What species?
Truly a brownie of a lifetime!! I love watching you and your brother dipping streamers in the creeks of WVA. Keep 'em coming! Excellent job!
