Catching GIANT Brown Trout in a Small Creek! (28 Inch Wild Trout)

- A DAY TO REMEMBER!
We grind for hours looking for an opportunity to catch big wild brown trout on the fly without much luck. Every once in a while we get lucky and everything falls into place perfectly. Andrew accidentally hit it just right a few weeks ago and had one of the most incredible days of fishing I've personally ever seen. Not only did he catch his personal best wild brown trout at almost 28 inches, but he also caught a 22 inch brown trout and lost another huge fish. That is something that just doesn't happen anywhere other than maybe New Zealand. Another thing that makes this video even more incredible is that I caught this fish 2 years ago and it measured in at 26 inches. It just goes to show that catch and release works if you're willing to use proper fish handling techniques. If I hadn't released the fish 2 years ago my brother would not be able to catch it this year. Fly Fishing for big trout is tough, so I hope everyone enjoys this video.

P.s. love how you went back to clean up the trash , gotta give credit were credit is due
The trash is a bit ridiculous. Not sure how much we helped but at least it looks a lot less trashy for now
Also holy crap fly fishing looks so incredibly hard
@@thebigm-dub3887 It's not. Just stay within your ability, and watch it grow. I've learned "all I know" from a few books and experimenting - AND by seeing my line as "those long flags" that small girl gymnasts run around swinging. As long as you keep the line in movement, you can do very funny things with it. Enjoy - it's meditative.!
Was literally wondering about the green soda container and that piece of whatever it was floating by. Props to you gettin that clean and awesomeness on that fatty brown as well. Love seein monsters, beyond important to get them back in there to keep their spawning legacy alive. Beautiful 👊🏼🤙🏼🎣
Great job. The trash cleanup is great also. That may have been from anything, it’s important to remember it’s not always the land owner leaving trash in a stream, sometimes that washes down from roadways and other locations.
I get mega pissed if I lose a 20” stockie bow, a mid 20 wild brown would be devastating and idk if I could keep fishing lol. Of course it’s not so bad when an even bigger fish/pb is in the same exact pool lol. Congrats on the big rainbrown 👌
You and me both! Losing a fish of that size is never fun. And rarely is there any fish in the run that is anywhere near that size. But as I've always said I'd rather be lucky than good! Thanks for watching man
Your a little tight when your playing the fish . Loosen the drag a smidgen an palm the reel .
Yeah, working at work is much better than one shaking off....
The video was great! The best part though was you had a great experience and then showed your appreciation and went back and cleaned up. Thank you for that. If we all carried out more than we brought in, it would sure clean up fast. Thanks again.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
When you beat yourself up over the fish that was lost and kept fishing makes me keep watching these videos. Good stuff guys!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed
Thanks for bringing us along on your awesome fishing experience. These small streams seem to be underestimated by many, however, you absolutely prove that giant trout can proliferate even in small streams. It would be extremely nice if you could explain your line/leader and fly setup for those like me that could learn more.
Inspirational, guys. One week in a tiny mountain creek catching beautiful native brook trout, the next catching a giant pb brown. Always superbly filmed in beautiful settings. The best fishing channel bar none.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you are enjoying the videos!
What I've always loved about you Hardmans is that you don't hold the fish out of the water for 20 minutes like some of the others do. Thanks for that & for all the gnarly videos!
Absolutely speechless guys amazing amazing amazing. Going to leave it at that wow. This is why I love your channel guys 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed!
Great stuff, honestly. This is my favorite fishing video Ive got it saved. Excellent spot, awesome fishing, and most of all excellent thoughtful content as usual
This video is amazing on so many levels, I love that you kept all the emotions in from losing a fish. I have seen trout this big in Scotland in lochs and some larger rivers, but nothing this big in such a small creek. The messages about trash and fish responsibilty is most important, nobody likes to see crap floating around in such a beautiful surrounding. I live by the motto "leave it cleaner than you found it!" Thanks brother, you are role model for anglers and love your passion.
"I'm so stupid..." is the soundtrack of my fishing trips as well.
Great work, fishing, catching, releasing, and working to preserve the species. Also Major Kudos on your attention to leaving the area better than you found it! I don't understand how other visitors to these beautiful places can leave trash. Here in New England we have the same problems, even out in areas where you have to hike to get to. On every outing my fishing friends and I pick up beer cans and plastic energy drink bottles, even 2-3 miles from a road, left by people who make an effort to get to an "unspoiled place". We just have to keep trying to make a difference, I guess.
Couldn’t agree more! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video!
Oh man ,,, nothing I love like the feel of a 20 plus brown on the line. And to put it back so someone else can feel it thanks buddy makes a guy happier than to get to April.. really thanks
Hog brown bro! What size tippet? Thank you for practicing and preaching catch and release habits to help the population! And super props for picking up the trash! Y’all rock!
It’s not hard to tell how panicked you were during that fight, you kept repeating the fundamentals over and over, “keep that line tight, let the drag do the work” 😂 I do the same thing with big fish!! But that one makes mine seem like minnows, what an absolute tank!! Outstanding job man, such a cool moment to have captured on video!!
Honestly sometimes it didn't even make sense what Andrew was saying but It was cool to see how he was trying to talk himself through it. And it worked!! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video
When I was little I was trout fishing with my dad and I had a huge brown on, I was so excited! But it came off and took my favorite lure with it. I was super bummed. I came back about 2 years later to the same hole and I snagged on some weeds underwater and I reeled the weeds in and on them was the same lure I almost got that huge brown with! It had all the same markings of it being used over the years on it.
I still have the lure, and I am never gonna loose it.
Another entertaining video, but I’m glad to see you practicing “Leave no trace.” It’s so important to have these places for future generations. Keep them coming.
The overall condition of that stream littered with trash is disgusting!
It is sad that a beautiful stream like that has people who polluted.
Agreed. We tried to go back and clean some of it up but it doesn't do much unfortunately
@@hardmanfishing at least you went back and tried! We have a few streams that are like that.
The southern struggle is real. I have several streams here in nc that I can pull a pull 30lb bag out every trip.
sad
Don’t get so hard on yourself brother. You’re a fantastic content creator and a true professional fisherman.
Super happy to see y’all go back to clean. I always take a trash bag when I stream/river fish. Great video! Keep up the great work!
MASSIVE BROWN TROUT!! BOTH OF EM! RIGHT ON! 🎣🔥🎣🔥🎣🔥🎣🔥🎣🔥
Fantastic Brown! WOW! Love watching you and your Bro. Have learned from you guys on streamer fishing. Love the Tanks you all pull out of these small creeks. Great attitude to get back after you broke that one off; you need to watch your boy Alex (Trippin On Trout), he is a master at using the levers of the rod butt to fight the fish...Hats off Bro! YOU DA MAN!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the vid. Alex and I actually talk a bit and he's a great dude. Hopefully one day we'll make it out and fish somewhere together, I'm sure he has a few years of experience on me.
‘I like Ben’s comment. Wonderful attitude and work. A true sportsman! Very impressve. COOL DUDE.
Great to see that fish caught again. Catch and release works! Awesome fish and great video as usual.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely, as a native of MT it is hard to see folks come to the State and not practice C&R. It will save our sport and our rivers.
Unreal! Thanks for the clean up. A true sportsman .
like your videos very interested in wanting to fly fishing looks like a lot of fun
Thanks for Cleaning up and yes catch and release is the way to go
unless your going to eat some
I will never understand the trash thing. We fish some of the prettiest places and to think people leave trash in these same spots is a head scratcher to me. Thank you for doing your part. Oh, one heck of a fish too! Amazing video
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed
Great Spring Guys. Keep up the hard work. 👊👍
Thanks Frankie!
BEAUTIFULL FISH!! kudos to you for packin out more than you brought in
Thank you!
You guys helped me get out there and understand small water browns. Great vid 🔥🔥🔥
That’s awesome!!! Thank you for watching
“It’s huge, it’s huge, it’s huge, it’s huge, it’s huge,” Haha nice fish and great video as always 👍
Thank you so much!!
@@hardmanfishing No problem, I also just caught a 21” brown, my personal best! Caught it on a zebra midge on the 4wt.
Drink, every time he says huge..
Awesome Fish Bro and you picking up the trash is so cool 👊🏾
Once, in a lifetime, fishing trip there!
Wow mate, what a fish!! Great catch, you played the fish really well. Also well done to you for cleaning up other people's bad habits. Awesome job 👍
Man, I am glad that you caught that big fish.
The biggest that I ever caught was 14 inches.
I am looking forward to more videos.
Thank you for sharing.
Tight lines my friend.
Oh my gosh! What beautiful fish! Thank you!!!
A fishing channel where the thumbnail isnt a lie!
Amazing that such large brown trout live in such small creeks! I'm sure catch and release has much to do with this. For years I fished in larger creeks in Upstate New York that were stocked and heavily fished and on rare occasions you'd pull out a 13" or 14" one.
where in upstate ny? i fish the beaverkill and ive pulled some big browns
Sprout Creek in the Fishkill town area of it was the only area I pulled out 13"/14" ones. It is stocked in many areas and is then overfished, so it is rare that one reaches the larger sizes. A friend and I once fished the famous Junction Pool in Roscoe, NY and on his fist cast he pulled out a 20" brown trout that was wild because it had incredible spots. We pulled several beautiful Rainbow trout from the Esopus Creek.
@@riproar11 biggest brown ive ever pulled was at junction pool lol
@@shwoogblasta4202 Yeah, when it neared the surface and fought we were both amazed at the size! Around Noon it started to rain and for a half-hour we both caught five to six 14" and 16" ones.
Another time we were fishing the Housatonic River near Kent just before the fly fishing only section. The scenery alone is beautiful! They were biting on small crayfish that day. While I was reeling in, I saw a massive rainbow trout following it! I don't think my fishing line would have handled it, because any huge salmon I hooked in the Russian River near Sacramento always snapped my line.
Hey G, you’re not stupid. Keep your head up and keep at it! 💪🏼
Awesome job on some big fish! Those big ones are a lot heavier than people realize and so much harder to move. Well done on the fight and fish handling. Even on a long fight like that with a big fish if you handle them properly C&R definitely works!
Yep 100% agree. Especially when you have the right water temps. Thanks for watching!
Some nice ones for sure. Nice scenery too.and no one else around prime spot.
It's good to see you guys cleaning up after these people who don't have the decency or the brains or the discipline to do it themselves.
Love the small creek fishin super good videos
You not stupid. You’re precious and you’re a great catch.
Wow! That last fish was a beast!!! Catch and Release really works. Great job on keeping the streams clean too!
Thank you!
That’s platinum level trout fishing. Great catch!
The hookup rate of fly fishing and landing rate is enough to make me only fish for small trout with the fly. When I want 3lbers plus I throw a spinner on a spin rod. Just can't beat actually landing big fish. I live in Colorado so alot of guys already throw flies all day so a good spinner will have u getting mad attention from the browns and bows. Good stuff man I enjoy ur videos
Phenomenal video. Amazing browns and that 28" whopper! What a slab! You guys are both phenomenal people and the care you show not only for the fish, but for your surrounding environment is special. It is. It was disheartening and sickening to see that some people just do not care. Thank God you went back to clean up the area. I want to say to everyone, when you head out to the outdoors and forests, whether you're fishing, hiking, camping, rafting, whatever the case, try to always take with you plastic bags and clean up any trash you see. We all must do our part.
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for the kind words. I'm hoping someone watches this and it inspires them to go take trash bag with them to the woods or creek.
@@hardmanfishing, you're most welcome. I enjoy all of your videos! Take it easy guys.
Good sportspeople do great things. It's why we need to keep the kiddos engaged in this pursuit!
Great job of landing those fish!
What an awesome fish
Great video! Great Fish!
I noticed some of the Garbage and was thinking how Pathetic it is, that people just leave it like that.
But it's Great you 2 toke the time to clean up some!
Thank you!
I'm speechless. Congrats! The edit: LOL just realized this was an old video. Well still congrats. I was thinking Andrew had moved, but just visiting. Sheesh what day is it? I'll just go to bed. :)
Buying my first fly rod soon. I am 3-4 hours north of any trout streams here in Missouri. Can’t wait to learn a new fishing technique.
Unbelievable fishing,super job on the clean up
Great fish! Good on you for doing some clean up that wasn't even your mess. That place was NASTY!! Sad that people won't treat nature better
Amazing finshing.
Some incredible fish.good stuff !
Beautiful fish nice
Wow! Beautiful fish 🐟, .
Sup John, didn't know you were there but that's AWESOME, I can't say ENOUGH nicely done guys, nicely done!! 😁👍
What a great trout and story for the C&R cause - I was going to comment on the rubbish / trash but thankfully you guys cleared that up to try to do your part 👌
Yessir!! We had to help out a little bit, even if it doesn't feel like much. Glad you enjoyed the video
Good job on cleaning the trash and
on the discussion of catch and release. Share the message. Also, of course, great fish!
Thank you so much!
What a Hog!! Beautiful fish! Nice job taking your time and working that fish to the net totally worth it for you and for us haha! Props for caring about your areas that's awesome!
Thank you much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Mr.Anderson from Matrix. Sorry i had to enjoye video and dope catch!
Beautiful brown brother
Enjoy watching y'alls videos. Cant imagine a fish that big on my euro outfit. Great brown and congrats!
Thank you!!
Nice job! Great job cleaning up the trash. There was a can floating on the bottom that was driving me nuts. People littering out in nature is just so maddening.
Great work bringing her in. Way to keep that giant healthy dude 🤙🤙
The fish is always the number 1 priority! Thanks for watching
Do you have a gear list anywhere? Interested in your complete rod setup....
Subscribed after seeing you cleaned up that trash, respect, great catch!
Thank you!
What kind of reel are you using? That was an amazing brown trout. How do you know it's the same fish after 2 years?
Good job on landing that bruiser.
Well done!
That big brown woulda been coming home with me for the grill! Awesome catch nonetheless! 👍
That was crazy impressive!
That’s what u call a good day of fishing!!!
You got that right!
Well done, super nice fish!
Incredible video as always. Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you!
Congratulations on catching such a beautiful fish and taking care of her! Thanks so much for catch & release and your trash man duty! That’s the way to take care of the environment. I haven’t an idea whether you crush your barbs or not, but I hope you do! Catch the videos by a guy in New Zealand who is also a RUclipsr. I think it is called Tripping on Trout. He is adamant on crushing barbs.
How about letting us know what are the details eg line, tippet, fly etc.
Hell of a brownie!
Great video with monster trout. Congrats
Beautiful fish
Thanks for cleaning up some of the rubbish. Beautiful stream and flora spoilt by litter, such a shame. It appears to be more than just storm water responsible. ( Metal pots etc. ) We have a Clean Up Australia day here which volunteers do their bit. Anyway nice fishing and congrats on your PB.
Great fishing! Better that you returned to clean up! Nice work
Thanks!
Congratulations!
Beautiful trout, absolute tank
huge one! that must have been exciting!!
Frickin Awesome
Appreciate your videos.
Glad you enjoyed!
Wow, what a fish, congrats. great video.
