"Only" 21 inches"! And shaped like a football! That was an epic battle! " like Peter Pan riding around on a mountain goat"! My face hurts from laughing! Great video! Thanks, Amani!
What a gorgeous shot with the clouds. You are so dedicated. And thoughtful removing the rocks. The worse thing, you have to walk back up lol. You are cracking me up. Shouting at the fish lol Taco rock. You can probably get a side job at a casino as an entertainer. Tight lines.
Right on. Yeah, the clouds moving over the lake made for remarkable scenery. I don't know why I start trying to talk to and coach fish as I'm fighting them. It just happens!
Amani - I had a fat Brown take my rod while camping & fishing at Bowman Lake. Luckily I had my 12’ aluminum boat on the shore and was able to row in the area and found in crystal clear 10’ of ice cold water about 15yds off shore. Now this was a really nice new expensive Garcia rod & reel, so I was not about to give it up. So I undressed and jumped into the chilly water and swam out to the road - being a good swimmer and former lifeguard - I was able to battle the elements and grabbed my rod. Low and behold once I surfaced and got back to shore, that fat 5-LB trout was still on the line fighting. But I won and got my pole and fish !
I was freaking out when that fish was swimming into boulders over and over. Usually they try at the last minute. That thing was going for cover the whole fight!
You're right about having your rods secure. I have lost a few being careless. Nice work 👏 bring that beautiful trout in. I have had many a fight like that over the years. You know when you are in danger with a fish and I felt it as if I was there. Thanks brother!
I can't believe I landed that thing. Somehow that 6lb leader that was frayed from top to bottom didn't break. I knew I had to end that fight real quick after that fish spent so much time swimming deep into the boulders. Hooking a fish and landing a fish on those boulders are two different things entirely. I know I'm right about securing rods because I've lost two rods to fish myself! It's an empty feeling!
Right on Amani. Beautiful fish, beautiful scenery. I’ll be up there late May to try my luck. I usually fish between Cascade Creek and Emerald Bay. Still trying to land the big one.
The big one will come, just keep fishing! I hit a couple of nice rainbows in Emerald Bay. One was really good. Clips are on my 'lakes and reservoirs' playlist. Good luck when you go.
The weather is going to warm up a bit so a lot of locations are going to start getting good as more snow melt pours in. I liked seeing that fish stuffed so full of crawdads. I think the shoreline with boulders is going to start getting good.
#57👍🏻🎣👀 I dig your "custom" rod place holders. Improvise.Adapt.Overcome. We're on countdown for 4 days-3 nights at Caples Lake as our base starting 5/24. Good weather lining up. (no jinx)
@@wildernesswithamani1027 Headed to Caples at midnight. Hope to hear from you before we leave to know if you'll be in the vacinity. I'll only have wi-fi access at one resort location up there. Hope to hear before we leave tonight. ✌🏼
I can't believe I got that fish into the net. You had to see how far that fish took me into the boulders to realize how sketchy that was. My leader was frayed from top to bottom. I was one or two runs away from that fish breaking off!
Dude you gotta be one of the most dedicated shore fisherman at Lake Tahoe. It’s few and far between the amount of people that fish the lake all year long. Pretty bad ass the amount of time you take.
Took me about a half hour to select and haul all of those giant boulders onto that big rock. Only took 30 seconds to push them into the lake when I was leaving!
Rock taco baby! Please, please show us you cutting open the fish. That thing is a beast and incredibly beautiful! Great effort, great result! Thank you Amani! You motivate me to fish bro!
It was. That was one of the most difficult battles in all of the clips for Lake Tahoe I have up on my Lakes and Reservoirs playlist and I have quite a few!
Hooking a fish from those boulders is one thing but getting it into the net is something else entirely. I thought I was going to lose it. My leader was seriously frayed from being raked over the boulders. I think I might have survived one more run if I missed that shot with the net I got it with.
It's looking like crawdads are back because that fish was stuffed with them. I want to get back out there into the boulders soon. I already have a lot of ideas for potential trips across my channel playlists but I really hope to load them up more as things warm up a bit. I want so many possibilities on my channel that it would take the average person over a decade to do it all. I have a lot of work to do!
The lake is up so the Shoreline is different from the clips I've been shooting since last fall. This is one of those lakes where you aren't sure what the fishing possibilities are going to look like when you get there so you just have to scope it out and deal with it.
When you get in a tight spot like I was in where the fish was trying to swim into everything horrible for landing fish sometimes you need to start coaching. It might not help but it felt like progress towards success!
That fish was all into the boulders. I was so glad my 8lb test held up so well. My 6lb leader was so frayed I couldn't believe it didn't break. One thing is for sure, those big bows are going to be in the rocky areas eating those crawdads. That one was stuffed to the limit. Go get some!
That really deep water is just to the right of where this rock was. I was casting left to fish more of a consistent bottom in terms of depth. Go 30 yards to the right and some of your casts appear to be dropping into a bottomless pit! You remember well!
I’ve had 2 big ones of the lassen breed yank my ultralights into the water. I was lucky to retrieve them both times. One was 6.5lbs and the other 7.5lbs. Had the rods propped on a stick and the sticks only lasted about 2-3 seconds before collapsing. I always pull my sticks out of my fishing spots. Leave no signs behind. Congrats on the chrome rainbow 👍🏼
I was sleeping once at Big Bear lake with a rod propped up on a stick on the sandy bank I was laying on. Had my hand right next to the rod. I heard a splash and the pole was just gone. This fish I got today had the rod doubled over before I could reach it. It happens fast! At least you got your poles back!
Dude, I know exactly what you mean about hooking up large trout. I snapped off in half a few fishing poles on those big fish. Since then, I’ve up graded to steel head pokes with nice action to be able to bring in those big hogs. And have a big net to land them. Fish on!!!! Every time I see Amani’s vids, I want to grab my fishing gear and myself over there.
I use the orange, yellow, green swirl. I have a few clips on my trout fishing tips playlist that show my set up, powerbait and hook combo, and hooks for my inflated crawlers.
Great job! Just imagine walking by and hearing you fight this fish…people might think someone was drowning! Ever though of going to a braid main line? Would allow you to cast ultra far. Not as good on the rocks but upsizing in #test usually negates that risk.
I use braided line as a leader for my lead core when I'm trolling. It's tough and durable but when it gets tangled it's nasty. Plus, I can fill both my Tahoe rods with 8lb Trilene XL for about $8 and that lasts a while. My budget these days gets consumed by gas!
I will get there eventually. Budget is tight right now so that is a lot to spend on a day of fishing. Plus, I would want to pick up a slightly larger rod. It will happen sooner or later.
It is not the easy type of shore to fish from! If you look at a lot of my Lake Tahoe clips on my 'lakes and reservoirs playlist you'll notice there is a lot of rock jumping and standing in type spots as I try to land fish. Hooking fish is one thing, landing them is another thing entirely. You will see in in several of my Tahoe clips, once the wind swell starts crashing on the boulders, things only get tougher!
Thanks. I thought I was going to lose it during a few moments when it really swam deep into the boulders. My frayed leader was not going to withstand many more runs!
Football rainbow. Well done. Keep in mind, & I'm sure you've heard this before...catch and cooks get views. Honestly, I'd like to see how that rainbow looks fileted because its the perfect fish for that
I have a few catch and cooks on my 'lakes and reservoirs' playlist and they don't seem to do that much better than clips where I just catch fish. There is definitely a part of my viewing audience that likes them so I do them from time to time. I have a few clips where I bake, grill, and fry fish on my variety playlist. They aren't technically "catch and cook" videos but the fish I'm cooking where caught just prior to filming the clips. I'll sprinkle them in from time to time to be honest, cooking really isn't my thing! I'm maxed out on new ways to cook fish!
That is the hill just above the entrance to Sand Harbor. There are several turnouts on the hill where it is a short, but steep, scramble down to the lake. Good luck.
Awesome fight! P.S. my 7 year old son has a request, please try to hit Folsom again next time you visit family in Sac., lake is full and water still cold! 👍
Folsom is not out of the question the next time I go to Sac because I want to go one more time before it gets super hot. I lot of runoff will be flowing in from the higher elevations as it warms up this week. I'm not making any promises but it's possible. I have a lot of targets I want to hit before I start expanding my range as the snow melts above 8K-10K. For now, I have clips for Loon Lake, Icehouse reservoir (several clips), and Union Valley reservoir on my 'lakes and reservoirs playlist to hold your kid over. That's all within your range if you live in the Sac area.
I want to hike to duck lake this summer or Fall if that's what you are talking about. I have a clip for Skelton on my 'backcountry lakes and creeks' playlist. Nice brookies in there. I hear there are rainbows up at Duck Lake.
I use 5' Ugly Stik rods , or smaller, and a spinning reels that run between $20-$30. I typically use 6lb mono unless it's Lake Tahoe. For that I have two reels with 8lb test to deal with the boulders and than I only make my leader 6lb.
I haven't because I prefer floating baits to keep them away from the crawdads! There seem to be a ton of them out there. I would assume they would work great.
I’ve fished the lake from shore about 8 different days for about 7 hrs at a time and have never had a bite. Tried different spots, baits and times but nothin. Any tips?
How I rig up is in two clips on my trout fishing tips playlist. "rigging up for reservoir trout" is one of them that goes into detail on how I rig up and then I have clips on there for the bait and hooks I use. I up my slip sinker to 1/2 OZ for lake Tahoe and then roll with 8lb test with a 6lb leader because the boulders shred 6lb line when the large trout rake you over them. I have a lot of Lake Tahoe clips on my 'lakes and reservoirs' playlist and I often go into what I was doing to catch fish. Keep at it!
@@wildernesswithamani1027 Just got off the phone with an old college friend and he found your channel a year ago and is a big fan of yours. You've inspired us to get together on a fishing trip up there in your neck of the woods. Mark tells me he had success at Cave Rock so you might want to check that out.
The meat on the big Tahoe rainbows is very similar looking to salmon. Dark reddish/pink and it cooks up pink. Excellent eating. I have a few clips on my 'lakes and reservoirs' playlist for Lake Tahoe where I show the filets. I have a bunch of clips for Lake Tahoe so I can't recall which ones off the top of my head.
I surveyed all of the possible hazards that a fish might try to run into before I started fishing. I didn't expect a fish would try to swim into every single area I thought could be a problem!
A lot of people use them out there. I didn't see the big schools in the rocks yet but they are coming. Judging by the contents of that fish's stomach, the crawdads appear to be out in the rocks in big numbers.
"Only" 21 inches"! And shaped like a football! That was an epic battle! " like Peter Pan riding around on a mountain goat"! My face hurts from laughing! Great video! Thanks, Amani!
That was a wild ride! I always figure out where I need to jump, step, and land fish when I'm on boulders like that before I even make my first cast!
What a gorgeous shot with the clouds. You are so dedicated. And thoughtful removing the rocks. The worse thing, you have to walk back up lol. You are cracking me up. Shouting at the fish lol Taco rock. You can probably get a side job at a casino as an entertainer. Tight lines.
Right on. Yeah, the clouds moving over the lake made for remarkable scenery. I don't know why I start trying to talk to and coach fish as I'm fighting them. It just happens!
I watch these videos almost Everytime I’m about to go fishing at Lake Tahoe . Never gets old .
Right on. I can't wait until it cools down. I love sitting out there fishing on that giant lake.

I believe you, but what a fish story bro!
That sounds like an effort and a half to me. I might have let the rod go but if I knew that big trout was on there, I'm probably going in too!
Another excellent Lake Tahoe fishing video Amani.
Thanks. That fish made for a short and sweet day.
Nice rainbow, I was laughing the whole time.
I was freaking out when that fish was swimming into boulders over and over. Usually they try at the last minute. That thing was going for cover the whole fight!
No one does it like you Amani Unstoppable....💯 🔥
Right on. That was a battle. I had my doubts I was going to be able to land that thing.

The big one will come, just keep fishing! I hit a couple of nice rainbows in Emerald Bay. One was really good. Clips are on my 'lakes and reservoirs' playlist. Good luck when you go.
“Rock taco” - love this dude!
That thing was a fish trap! When it swam in there I thought I was done!
Videos from Amani remind me several times a week I need to Fish more often!!!! The more you fish the the odds just get better for a hog of a trout!
The weather is going to warm up a bit so a lot of locations are going to start getting good as more snow melt pours in. I liked seeing that fish stuffed so full of crawdads. I think the shoreline with boulders is going to start getting good.
Good to see some snow on those mountains
I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of it in the high country above 10K. I plan to lay eyes on the Eastern Sierra within the next few weeks.

That was badass fightin of that fish . You definitely had a battle . One of the best trout battles I’ve seen on you tube . Awesome 😎
Thanks. Hooking a big trout fishing from those boulders is one thing. getting it into the net is another thing entirely!
Nice Bow. Love the excitement.
I can't believe I got that fish into the net. You had to see how far that fish took me into the boulders to realize how sketchy that was. My leader was frayed from top to bottom. I was one or two runs away from that fish breaking off!

When the bite is on it's like I'm 12 years old again. A fishing time machine!
Dude you gotta be one of the most dedicated shore fisherman at Lake Tahoe. It’s few and far between the amount of people that fish the lake all year long.
Pretty bad ass the amount of time you take.

Amazing huge fish and I love the high tech rock 🪨 fishing 🎣 rod holder so epic

Great effort, great result!
Thank you Amani!
You motivate me to fish bro!
Before I even started fishing, I knew that rock taco could be a problem!
Great looking fish congratulations bro
I'm just glad I got it in the net!
That is a nice trout, man he was munching on some crawdaddies, good job on that battle, catch you on the next one👍👊🎣
That fish was packed with them. Stomach was maxed out. Looks like fish can be found in the boulders gorging themselves on crawdads starting now!
awesome action from that monster! Great stuff Amani!
It was. That was one of the most difficult battles in all of the clips for Lake Tahoe I have up on my Lakes and Reservoirs playlist and I have quite a few!
So Refreshing! High on Rainbows! Fairwinds!
Really nice being out there. Fighting that fish was stressful but the happy ending made it all good.
I new you would go back. No more skunk. Nice fish .
That fish was packed to the rim with crawdads. That tells me it's time to start hitting the boulder strewn shoreline.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 you need a jig that looks like a small crawdad.
KING OF THE SHORE
Hooking a fish from those boulders is one thing but getting it into the net is something else entirely. I thought I was going to lose it. My leader was seriously frayed from being raked over the boulders. I think I might have survived one more run if I missed that shot with the net I got it with.

That was a football of a fish bro! Awesome catch!
That thing was thick! Looked like a salmon. Had a lot of girth throughout.
@@wildernesswithamani1027 I was thinking the same, sure it wasn't a Kokanee? I've never caught one but it was really Salmon looking

Talks about budget but drives across the world to fish 😂

It was something like that! I was leaping all over those boulders! Fun times out there.
ROCK TACO BABY!
It was a rock taco and that fish was looking to be a part of it! Couldn't let that happen!
As thick and healthy as a trout gets! Great catch. Is the meat pinkish or clear? Thanks for all the vids.
The meat on the big Tahoe rainbows is very similar looking to salmon. Dark reddish/pink and it cooks up pink. Excellent eating. I have a few clips on my 'lakes and reservoirs' playlist for Lake Tahoe where I show the filets. I have a bunch of clips for Lake Tahoe so I can't recall which ones off the top of my head.

Is a rock taco like a rock lobster?
It was trout swallowing taco! I had pull that thing out of there!
nice one yum
Meat on that trout was dark reddish/pink. Looks like salmon when you cook it up.
That’s a dam trophy bow
That thing was fat
Cold water and Lake Trout come to the surface. Now go after the native spotted trout. Lahontan Cutthroat!
Food chain in full effect.
reels have drags set the drag so that a fish will take line and not your rod
If your rod isn't secure your drag won't save you. That doesn't make sense. If it is a big enough trout your rod is gone.
Try to catch some minnows they are great.
A lot of people use them out there. I didn't see the big schools in the rocks yet but they are coming. Judging by the contents of that fish's stomach, the crawdads appear to be out in the rocks in big numbers.
