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.
Was bummed at seeing all the trash at such a beautiful spot so was really happy to see your subsequent cleanup efforts!
Great fish, really nice video, keep up the good work!
I noticed that, too. I was wondering if this beautiful creek had the misfortune of flowing near a landfill.
Was just thinking the same thing :(
I was happy to see you clean up other peoples mess. How is it even possible that other people could be so disgustingly nasty?
Makes me miserable every day when I go out. No matter where I go there is garbage everywhere. Mostly empty worm boxes and tackle plastic. Bottles, beer cans, chip bags. Humans are so shitty it makes me so mad. I try to clean up when I can but when you pack for shore fishing you don’t plan on hauling out a trash bag full of garbage.
Well said...I was thinking the same...it's crazy to see such a beautiful place with so much rubbish laying around...😞
"Why do I have to be so bad at fishing?" - Every fisherman/fisherwoman, ever.
Said the same thing to myself hunting snook in the backcountry a few weeks back. It's the pursuit!
That’s awesome!!! Congratulations……great job landing that fish by yourself. You hooked 3 huge fish in that hole and landed two…..
You are NOT a bad fisherman…..on the contrary….lol. I’m impressed. I am so impressed that you guys cleared some of that trash……respect.
Thank you!! It's easy to get down on yourself after losing a fish of that caliber. But I'm 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
The number of huge browns you guys bring in is incredible. Great content as always!
Mostly luck! But when we find them it can be pretty incredible. Thanks for watching!
Let the reel do the job, walk the dog. Dont rush these kind of fish. Keep the rod high and let the rod and the reel do the job.
@@guillaumejacob2295 what? not at all, fight em fast and bring them in and release. Rod high? Thats the worst way to fight a fish. Side pressure.
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!
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
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!
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!
What an epic outing this was, and what an extraordinary video! Kudos on the PB trout - and deep admiration for the stream clean-up! Thanks so much for sharing with us!
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the kind words!
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....
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.
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!
Love this video which truly shows how important catch and release is!
The good thing is you release that fish i appreciate that man
That was the catch of a lifetime! Congrats.
Thanks Jonathon and Andrew ( wow what a trout!). You 2 are an inspiration to trout conservation
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the vid and thanks for the kind words!
what an amazing catch. 44 years ago, in the the stream leading tp phantom ranch in the grand canyon, there were 5 trout together that were at least this big. never forgot that sight. you're a fine angler.
You guys helped me get out there and understand small water browns. Great vid 🔥🔥🔥
That’s awesome!!! Thank you for watching
Great fish, some of the best fish handling I have seen on RUclips. Good job.
Just latched on to your channel,simply amazing.Your skills,dedication,ethics absolutely tops.Wishing you continued success!
Unreal! Thanks for the clean up. A true sportsman .
That’s platinum level trout fishing. Great catch!
Congrats man, that's a hell of a fish. Happy for you Andrew. Glad it was euro nymphing and proves you can get them with any style. Keep up the great work and thanks for cleaning up the stream at the end. Really great to see!
Thanks Mike! I knew you’d like this one. Sometimes we do catch big fish on nymphs! Hahaha
Man your cinematography and camera skills is stunning and an absolute inspiration to younger youtubers like me. I hope I can follow your footsteps to become as skilled as you. Thanks for the adventure!
Thank you so much!! Glad you like the videos!
Great show of love for your river and cleaning up site!
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!
Wow! That last fish was a beast!!! Catch and Release really works. Great job on keeping the streams clean too!
Thank you!
Incredible video as always. Keep up the good work guys!
Thank you!
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.
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.
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.
Don’t get so hard on yourself brother. You’re a fantastic content creator and a true professional fisherman.
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
You win best most awesome award for releasing catches and specially for clean up of the surroundings
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!
Love the small creek fishin super good videos
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.
Wow! Great catch brother, truly amazing! Congrats on a new PB Brownie!!!👏🏼🔥
Oh my gosh! What beautiful fish! Thank you!!!
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!
Sup John, didn't know you were there but that's AWESOME, I can't say ENOUGH nicely done guys, nicely done!! 😁👍
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 👍
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!
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.
Solid Stuff! Well Done Andrew
MASSIVE BROWN TROUT!! BOTH OF EM! RIGHT ON! 🎣🔥🎣🔥🎣🔥🎣🔥🎣🔥
Great fishing! Thanks for the cleanup!
Beautiful fish and beautiful fishing holes doesn't get any better then that
Awesome Fish Bro and you picking up the trash is so cool 👊🏾
Fab to see you catching such beautiful specimens. 😍 you guys removing the trash! 👏
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
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
Some incredible fish.good stuff !
Ive caught big brown trout but this is amazing how big this is compared to mine amazing video!!!!!!
That Brown was ridiculous - I appreciate the insight at the end as well. Cheers!
Thank you! Glad you liked the video
Agreed. Their best overall fishing video yet in my opinion. AMAZING you guys!!!!!!!
Unbelievable fishing,super job on the clean up
like your videos very interested in wanting to fly fishing looks like a lot of fun
That was crazy impressive!
Dude you have some awesome spots!! Awesome video.
‘I like Ben’s comment. Wonderful attitude and work. A true sportsman! Very impressve. COOL DUDE.
There is nothing like the adrenalin hit of a big trout hooking up when your on light tackle and the ensuing battle of wits!. 🙂
Great job of landing those fish!
Well done Andrew. The tank fpught you almost 7 (!) minutes!
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!
That fly rod was doubled over!!!!!! Thought it was a dang snag!! Nuts!
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
Man, I just recently subscribed to your channel and I’m glad I did. I’ve literally been up watching videos for passed couple days now and this was a heck of a fight and congrats on the pb.
A fishing channel where the thumbnail isnt a lie!
Wow! Beautiful fish 🐟, .
Like your stewardship too. Don't forget to mention that the stream's health is a real indicator that such fine fish thrive there. Wherever it is, kudos to the DNR!!!
Awesome guys! Looks like nice water
It is for sure! Thanks for watching!
Well done, super nice fish!
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!
Once, in a lifetime, fishing trip there!
Some nice ones for sure. Nice scenery too.and no one else around prime spot.
Beautiful fish!
Wow. That think looks like it came out a lake. Superb job keeping your cool and reaping the rewards!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful brown brother
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.
Wow, what a fish, congrats. great video.
Thanks!
Enjoy watching y'alls videos. Cant imagine a fish that big on my euro outfit. Great brown and congrats!
Thank you!!
Man I would love to fish with you guys man. Awesome stuff
Great video with monster trout. Congrats
On a nymph in bright sunlight. Not what I expected lol. Congrats on another tank brown!
Yeah this is a little different than the usual big brown video lol thanks for watching man!
DONKEY Brown 🤯🤯
Nice stuff man 👌
This was fantastic. Watching you lose the first fish was like seeing myself and how I talk about it. Your awesome.
Great work bringing her in. Way to keep that giant healthy dude 🤙🤙
The fish is always the number 1 priority! Thanks for watching
I absolutely love this video. It covers all the bases for me. I am curious to know what size tippet Andrew was using?
I’m glad you enjoyed! And he was using 4x I believe
Hey G, you’re not stupid. Keep your head up and keep at it! 💪🏼
OMG!!! Beautiful! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thank you!!
Beautiful trout, absolute tank
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
Top shelf Brown and footage! Great fight Andrew on all 3 fish.
I'm glad you enjoyed!!
Very nice! And thanks for cleaning up!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
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.
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. :)
That was a good fish congrats yeah C/R works for sure
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
