Much love man. Likewise, I hope you’re having a good season. Hoping to get some more videos out towards the end of the month/October when my schedule gets less busy
@Chiefz I will be looking forward to them.? I'm heading up to oswego ny in 2 weeks to try my luck. Maybe I can send you a photo of my catch of this year if I get one.
So glad you're back! I found your channel very recently and it reignited my passion for fishing. Last week I caught my first steelhead.. Actually caught 3 of them off the pier. (fellow GR guy) Thank you again for the inspiration. I'm looking forward to future content.
Welcome back man! Love the videos. Had some bobber downs this past weekend but not too many fish moving though. Hoping to get out again before the end of the season
Thanks Kyle!! Definitely need some rain to move through it’s making the river bite pretty confined to that first few hours of light in the morning right now. Best is coming👊🏼
nice to see an upload chiefz! my buddy wyatt and I bumped into you a couple times on the river last season, hoping to maybe see ya again this season. great vid btw, keep em coming.
Good stuff man! I was gonna book with you but my buddy had a kid so we couldn’t go! I see what we are missing lol. It’s gonna happen. Love the dog too, they’re worth all the pain and headaches as you get em trained and acclimated.
Can't believe how dark that big King was already, he must've been in there a while. Heck, I usually didn't start fishing them yet when I was in MI. Man I miss that.
Hey man love watching your videos and the adventures you go on! I was curious how you get back upstream to your vehicle when you drift in your boat/kayak? I’m thinking about floating down one of the rivers in my kayak and I’m unfamiliar with which ones are smaller and manageable. I will end up doing it without a driver so i Would love to hear how you do it! Thanks :)
I usually pay for a spotter or fish with a buddy who parks at the bottom! Call around some of the local canoe liveries and ask if they offer that as a service. Thanks for the support on the video👊🏼
Tip for Potato. Next time throw the whole thing on some coals in the fire and it would take 30 min. put butter and garlic in there and you wont regret :)
3000, but I think I’ll end up getting 4000’s for kings instead. Still work great but I want to beef up a little bit. 3000 is perfect for the steelhead though
The stove has an initial break in period to rid of any residual chemicals on the titanium and I was paranoid about cooking it inside. I did the first initial burn but I wanted to be on the safe side
if you have a 20 pound leader and your drag is still set that loose then you are kind of stupid and totally deserved to lose those fish. you have the gear, you just choose to play the fish and dramatize everything more than it has to be. just reel in the damn fish
I was going to but I was hesitant because it was only my 2nd time burning that stove in. There’s an initial break in period for the titanium to burn off any residual chemicals
It's been a while... Missed you guys, stay tuned for more videos now that my feet are planted back in Michigan👊
Missed you Chiefz!❤
Missed you broski

Definitely missed the videos. Good to see ya back and love the new doggo.
Thanks dude!! Excited to have him tag along
Yes! He’s back and love to see Barrett on the big screen

barret holding a tree branch to stop you from drifting is pretty iconic lmao
@@GregoryNichols-r8j might need to use that to my advantage somehow lol
You were excited catching the fish and Barrett was excited releasing the fish, the perfect duo :)
@@AmYote usually he licks the fish clean! Lol
@@Chiefz 🤣🤣
Good to see you back, nice video
Awesome video. Geat battle. Sounds like Dogman is still out there. I still have the t shirt from a Luther bar from the early 80s. Thanks Chiefz.

always a good day when chiefz uploads
Chiefz back home and uploading videos, all is right in the world.

Nice king Chiefz!
Thank you!
Good stuff man! I was gonna book with you but my buddy had a kid so we couldn’t go! I see what we are missing lol. It’s gonna happen.
Love the dog too, they’re worth all the pain and headaches as you get em trained and acclimated.
He’s finally starting to get it 😅 The first few months were a little crazy lol. Maybe we can get out for steelhead or something
I like the idea of using dog to start fire. Thanks dog for fire!
Great video. Love the teepee and stove setup! See you in November!
Yessir!! Looking forward to it man
Can't believe how dark that big King was already, he must've been in there a while. Heck, I usually didn't start fishing them yet when I was in MI. Man I miss that.
Must’ve came in on that first flip in August! Big ole nasty lol. I’ll take them all
Let’s goooo! Nice work , Just left there , slow bite 0-2
This heat has been brutal man..
What brand of stove is that? That tipi hot tent looks like something that'd be great for elk hunting.
Seek Outside makes it👍🏼
@Chiefz thank you sir. Maybe we'll float past each other soon. Stay safe, and tight lines.
Some good videos !!!!!!!!
Thanks man👍🏼
Banger video man!
HES BACKKKK 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Glad to see you back man. Was wondering if you took a step back and focused on other things.
Yes and no! I’ll explain more in my next vid. I’m not going anywhere👊🏼 thanks for the love dude
@@Chiefzyou’re welcome 😊
I love my golden retrievers. Best dogs ever!
Hard to beat!! I’ll have to show his puppy footage in my next one
My guy it’s been a min waiting for this drop came from twitch!
You’re a gentleman and a scholar
I thought the fish jumping in the water was Barret jumping in! LMAO
You been watching Kyle or something? Went out and got a hot tent and a Golden Retriever 😂 great video, thanks for bringing us along
My 5 day tipi hot tent video did well and it was a done deal after that 🤣 thanks for watching man

Thanks man. Hope to have more soon!
That was an absolute donkey! Keep up the great videos man!
What kind of boat is that?
Stealthcraft Hooligan XXL
He’s backkk
Yessir!!
Sweet video man! Nice king. Just found your RUclips. Keep up the good work!
-Paul from CMU
How would I book you as a guide? I would be down next year.
Paul!! What’s up buddy! You still got my number?? If not fill out a contact form on my website for a booking / chiefztrips.com
I sent you a text. I had your number saved!
nice buck👑
NEW CHIEFZ YEA
Loud screech was probably a bobcat, I've heard that a few times in Northern Michigan while hunting. Make your hair stand up in the dark.😂
Had me puckered right up. You should've seen Barret's innocent face LOL
I was worried you were done. Your content is amazing wish you got the subs you deserve.
I’ll never be done👊🏼 Appreciate the support. Thanks for the comment Mark
Tip for Potato. Next time throw the whole thing on some coals in the fire and it would take 30 min. put butter and garlic in there and you wont regret :)
That screeching you heard could have been a fox. They scream really weird. Back when I had my pet fox I got ALOT of noise complaints
I’ve been looking up animal noises since that trip and it definitely sounded comparable to what I heard
How far up north are you? I don’t need specific I get that I’m just curious I’m downstate.
Northwest corner
What knot do you use to connect your leader to the main line?
Alberto knot
What was the lure you used along with the rod and reel
Thundersticks and husky jerk crankbaits
He said my stick😊
Lol I’m sure that’s not the first time he’ll be doing that 🤣
Try twitching jigs for the kings when they get lock jawed to the bait.
If our bottoms were more forgiving I definitely would
@@Chiefz oh yeah true we have some snaggy spots too down in tidewater it gets expensive lol
@rickysimmonds2681 wish we had more rock bottom rivers like the pnw! Tons of wood here. Just doesn’t work great
BARRETTTTTTTTT
Hey just wondering man what size shimano vanford do you use?
3000, but I think I’ll end up getting 4000’s for kings instead. Still work great but I want to beef up a little bit. 3000 is perfect for the steelhead though
@@Chiefz okay cool thank you a lot love the vids keep it up
What type and size hook was that
2/0 Octopus hook
@@Chiefz thanks
BOBBER DOWN
Bobber downs or bo6🤔
is that the looking glass?
??
@@Chiefz looking glass river. which river is that! I thought I recognized the launch. i’m in MI too.
What’s your rod setup?
11ft 10-17lb fast action rod with 3000 size reel 40lb braid
Fisher cat screams
Lmao using dogs fur as fire starter
A little ingenuity! lol
Long-armer.
Yes
where is this?
Michigan
Frankfort
How do you let them go?!?! They are gonna die anyway, smoke those things!
Would rather see them spawn. I catch them silver all summer long in Lake Michigan. Usually pretty burnt out by them at this point in the season
if you see a man with british teeth flagging you down and following you around, its not me
Mountain lion probably
I’d like to not think so haha
hook?
Size 2/0 forgot the brand
Sorry man, I can't fish bait, so I'm moving on.
No problem! Using bait for these fish is one of the only fair ways to catch them this time of year outside of hardware. Beats all the people snagging
Your supposed too put the potato in tin foil in the coals
The stove has an initial break in period to rid of any residual chemicals on the titanium and I was paranoid about cooking it inside. I did the first initial burn but I wanted to be on the safe side
if you have a 20 pound leader and your drag is still set that loose then you are kind of stupid and totally deserved to lose those fish. you have the gear, you just choose to play the fish and dramatize everything more than it has to be. just reel in the damn fish
Was only a 10-17 rod. Felt like if I corked it I’d overload
put your potato in foil right in the oven
I was going to but I was hesitant because it was only my 2nd time burning that stove in. There’s an initial break in period for the titanium to burn off any residual chemicals
