You were on the fence with letting him go anyways, that's just fate :)
I had a shitty week. Murphy's Law kicked my @ss. Watching this one made me remember we all have times like that. Tough times don't last but tough people do. I always enjoy your adventures and will be at the fair. Peace.
I had to show my wife the clip when you threw the trout back by accident. She did the same a few years ago when we were fishing with her parents. We all stood there in shock as she accidentally tossed the fish she just caught back in the water. 😂 One of our favorite fishing moments.
Damn dude I love your long videos. They're so peaceful
The excitement for the trout is so relatable. Less than 24 hours before this post I caught my PB rainbow and have a ten minute clip of me acting and sounding the exact way
Your excitement from getting that trout was infectious!
I love your videos for how much you love making them
It was so relatable too. Less than 24 hours before this post I caught my PB rainbow and have a ten minute clip of me acting and sounding the exact way
the best part of camping to me is the down time by the fire or before bed playing games, or drinking and playing card games with friends
really? I thought it would have been setting up the tent...
@@GFkilla17 naw that's for my kids to do while I relax
I had no idea there was a fisherman out there who is more disorganised than me. I feel you man😂
good to see you still posting fam, you got me through my first break up and been a follower for 5+ years
That is a lucky fish 😂😂
Been watching your videos for many years and I still get excited whenever you post a new one.
Thanks for all the great content and advise you’ve given over the years!
I caught fish fever and paused the video half way to fish and caught a brownie first cast lol. Now time to finish the video. Thanks for the motivation. Awesome videos cheers 🍻 fishing The Bow river in Calgary, Alberta. Brownie bros
I dont use less than 6lb test... with right rod/reel set up I can still cast smaller lures pretty far...4/2 is just too iffy for me in AR. Down here you'll be going after rainbows and end up with a 10lb catfish on the same lure lol
It was great watching your fishing videos again. Thanks for getting out there and making new ones. BTW my son and I will see you again at your street fair. Cheers and take care! 😊
the mountain creek/lake fishing videos never disappoint my only complaint is that they arent longer lol
Gosh dang 75 for boat and motor. Score!❤🎉 lucky man! Thanks Matts🎣🏕🏞🛶
Thank you for sharing the importance of lifejackets. I was a Park Supervisor on a busy river and sadly beautiful peaceful days on the water turn deadly in a heartbeat. Lifejackets save lives. Wonderful videos!
What a wonderful and meaningful experience to camp alone on a lake with a $75 boat and a solar panel! You truly are a camping expert! And I am a floating village life from Vietnam.
Thanks for vid Matts. I truly look forward to seeing your latest adventure. Keep em coming.
Hey Matts! Thank you for uploading and everything you do!!
Man that loss brown was diabolical 😭😭😭😂
Brooo how you miss the net???😭😭😭
Loving the variety of content you are posting lately as long as you are safe keep them coming theybare very enjoyable
You know what I appreciate MOST. You are a HOT MESS! but you share your entire experience. That's worth watching everytiime!
Got the notification never left a different video so quickly
you have so much positive vibration I can feel it through the screen bro
Ever think about a waterproof "spinner sticker kit" and a dozen "Blank" lures? So you can customize your lure without carrying a huge tacklebox. Could have many different "colored/pattern stickers" one for fresh water and another for salt. Make em' easily removable. Keep on fishin'! Love them Gold/Black Panther Martin in Alaska. Grayling slayers!
2 lb test for lake fishing? I go straight 6 without a leader with those heavier lures and bigger fish, 4 for creeks etc
like the 2 roles of thumb is always keep the fish in the net until you are well away from the water and 2nd role is always have the net siting next to your casting area so you can grab it whenever
rule not role.
@@ericconrad8854 thanks for the correction (non native english speaker i sometimes mix words)
Two tangles in the motor, two lost lures, and a lost fish. We all have had those days. Great video.
6 is a good overall for me, can pull in most anything, and still pretty light. One thing I seem to notice is your hook set, nail them like you're trying to pull them right out of the water. love the shopping tote, and back pack pouch!
That brown would have been soooooo delicious. Love fishing those lakes.
You got it on video anyway. That was what mattered. If a fish manages to escape, then it deserves its freedom 😁
2 lb test? Really? I usually never go below 6! Lost lures on snags and bigger trout! Great video! 😂👍
16:35 -- We've all had fishing trips like yours today 😂
The good days always make up for the bad days 🇺🇲
Looking forward to the fisherman’s life Street fair 🎣
love your videos Man and Investing in a Thermocell was a game changer for me when Camping or fishing by lakes.
Note to self, add mosquito net hat
Awesome video! Sucks the trout got away but the whole trip seems so nice!
We need that NWFS collab since your doing trout too
Caught a two pound brown from a creek and ate it, personally tasted pretty good. Great video!
That lake has a spirit
Thanks for the video and personally I appreciate there is no royalty free music on this one.
The best part about Matt is that he's human :)
Let’s go can’t wait to see this meal again
Love this. Hope you realize how fortunate you are to have secluded, wilderness fishing and camping, easily accessible,in some of the most gorgeous country on earth (I've traveled a lot). From the $75 watercraft, to scenes of losing fish, to the mystery of the battery and the volts, you are just getting out there and fishing. Spin and Fly. You're awesome dude.
Saturday morning Fishermans life, hell ya brother
Just proves how real and great your videos are! You did not have to post the part where you lost the fish, but you did!!!! Deer looked good, never tried it.
Ooh man that was a heartbreaker but I appreciate you showing the hardships that things don’t always go perfect 👍🏽
You know the food nasty when the eating had little to no camera time lol
Using a 75 dollar boat puts things into perspective. For that price dude was able to get out on the water and dish. You don’t need a 50k plus boat to catch fish.
Always bring 'quality bug spray' when near water. Mosquitos just are the worst...
Also the thumbnail is awesome. Sick work bromigo
Despite the wide success of Panther Martin and Roostertail lures on catching fish, (I too have had my share, even used the exact same lures shown), the spinner blades can twist your line into a mess. (Whereas Rapala type lures won't do that unless they are fouled while you've been trolling). You mentioned a wind knot and losing another lure on your cast and using 2-6lb test line. The weakened and tightly twisted compressed light line is how that can happen, let alone your spool fouling up when you open the bail and or try to cast and the fouled line gets caught in the guides. Another way line gets twisted while spin fishing is when fighting a fish and the drag is going out but the angler is winding the reel at the same time. That too only spins the line into a twisted mess and why fishermen eventually have to discard line and or re-spool so often. To circumvent this problem, I let my line unravel after every cast (reach your rod straight overhead and let the line/lure go down to 2" into the water and watch it counter spin until neutral) and then, I only cast say 10-15 times before switching out lures to a non spinnerbait style. It doesn't eliminate the problem but it can delay it. Just my two cents of an opinion, fish on brother.
love your videos!
Hey Matt! Awesome fish, and yes, I was looking forward to finding out if bigger was not necessarily better, but hey it happens. Also, as far as the deer meat goes, I have ate it for 61 years now and the bad taste you were expecting comes from how the meat was processed, if there is any fat or what is called silver skin left on the meat you will get that bad gamey taste because deer fat, unlike other animals, goes rancid really fast. So as long as the fat and silver skin is removed before cooking or freezing, it is a very good, lean, tender meat. PS, the deer's diet, ie grass vs nuts, can make a small difference also.
I hope someday you get to experience tasting pan fried ELK. Best tasting game I have ever had!
Great video. Still keep waiting for backpacks to be in stock on the website.
When my friend and I fish rooster tails we always give the lure a little jerk when we start retrieving to start the blade spinning. Also we only use 2lb trilene XL and when casting we always point straight to where we cast and that lowers your chances of the line catching on the rod tip or a guide that snaps your line. Also my buddy is from southern cali and he uses 1” firecracker tubes with a 1/64-1/32pz tapered jig head and used to catch a ton of trout.
I run a 10lbs in in Arizona. The trout here are pretty good size. For me brown trout taste better darker meat and a little more oilier 🤤
so great brother that happy when looking your video
@16:58 man the only thing disappointing is the patch on the front of your hat being off to the our left your right side... Lol
Hey Matt’s,… another great video.
Constructive criticism;
You may need a stronger solar panel, maybe not enough watts for a 12v battery.
Enjoyed the video 👍🏻
2nd Rod stamp! That's crazy. When you go to the bathroom, you can wipe forward, but if you want to wipe backwards you are going to need another stamp for that.
Not sure about you but, I use 8lb power pro super slick braid with 6-8ft 6lb mono lead. I never lose lures lol. My rod setup is a 7ft medium Shimano Expride with a shinano FL 2500. I put nothing about 8lb on it.
Did you have to get a pooping permit? 😂 freakin government sucks bro!
I was running out to watch in youtube until I saw you uploaded a new video!
just for future reference, you always want to connect the battery to the charge controller before you connect the solar panel. doing it the other way can damage the charge controller if it is older or cheap, but also connecting the battery first lets the charge controller basically read the battery and figure out if it's 12v or 24v and things like that.
so you could have some real problems if you connect them in the wrong order, but if you're lucky the charge controller will just be like "yo, something's wrong, i'm not gonna do anything" and it won't even try to charge the battery, or it will charge it slowly.
also, solar panels do not like shade. even the tiniest bit of shade, like if 1% of the panel is in shade, the panel will barely work, if at all, especially with cheap panels like that.
so if you make sure it's in full sun, then you will probably get at least 2x the charging power from it
I'm not disappointed it got away. Too pretty to kill. It was meant to be free. Bravo. Ps
..a clear bubble with the flies work well.
That video was so hilarious and entertaining.
It was such a good catch an such a crazy loss it happens to all of us I'm feeling that one
You're a better man than I am Matts, I'd have to bleep out or cut out a good chunk of the video if that happened to me. Regardless, relish the PB moment.
As to the venison, you are most likely eating the back strap if it is tender and "not gamey". Best cut of the deer.
Big fan of the common man videos
The battery will go down to 10.4 volts depends on how old the battery is and you didn’t need a charge controller with that sized solar panel. It’s only like a 40 - 50 watt.
Wasn’t disappointed because I’m not eating it. Not being sarcastic,but it was a good laugh. Lucky trout!
@FishermansLife-e8q ?
Take me next time fam
Great spot nice fish 😂😂So funny
You gotta get a deep cycle battery for that trolling motor! It won’t die so fast
The gold Kastmaster has always worked for me in the Sierras.
gotta bonk it right away
"my rice pudding, my glock, and my flashlight" killed meeeeeeeeee.
seriously my favorite video since you dropped a crab that one time. loved the scenery and that trout moment. cool solar panel set up too!!
Oh nooo..lmao damn that was a nice fish, all g tho still a great video in such a beautiful place 💯
I always use 6lb now I whip it to hard for 4 and 2 and loose a ton of lures haha... I feel your pain
That trout was for sure a paid actor.
Hey man I been subscribed for a while and just now checked out you’re gear I really like the rain coat but noticed your biggest size is 2xl and 3xl on some other options. I was wondering if you can make a section for the extra big and tall boys out there I would really love to buy some clothing from you thanks !🙏
I tend to drop new lures in the water before tying them to my line. It has happened at least twice now 😂.
Cool to see someone else has so much bad luck on a fishing trip. Don’t worry brother we all have those days where nothing seems to go right. Great reality video .
A 12 Volt battery is considered "dead" at 10.4 volts
We would love to see u hunt Mat
Matts, have you tried giving it a quick jerk before reeling? Usually helps them spin up much more quickly, though this is also why I went to mostly using blue fox since they spin up almost instantly.
Best channel
Does anyone know what lake this is?
Would love to find out!
🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫 hopefully no one says.
“Sorry that probably disappointed a lot of you right now.” 😅😂😂 All good bro! That was funny tho. I was looking forward to seeing how it tasted lol. Oh well next time.
This video, reminded me how camping and fishing at lakes and bugs suck !
@11:38 man on trout fishing 🎣 like this 4lbs line with a 2lbs leader line 3 feet long, it's the way to go I have pulled in 7lbs trout in on that setup for a very long time, 25 plus years
I'm in agreement with others that 2lb.mono is too light. My go to choice is 4lb. mono for what you are doing and SOP for teaching kids/beginners is to use Stren clear blue fluorescent because its so easy to keep track of out of the water. 4lb. handles a tip wrapped or bail snagged line without breaking off far better than 2lb. mono. Another issue could be you got some old monofilament, so check the date of manufacture on your 2lb. that you have and replace it if its older than 3-4 years.
Yellow body red dots silver blade was my jam for trout in NorCal
Dayum, bro! That hurts.
Can you share some info on that hammock and air mattress?
No one will be more disappointed than you for that brown trout brother, shit happens! At least we all got to see how beautiful that fish was !!
