Ever fish the stream in concord ? I used to see people lined down the bank by the dam i think its pacheco actually but the far side of pleasant valley mall ill find a map again
HIII FRIEND , when will you come and show me all your skill here in French Guyana....? For many years I was a fanatic fisherman in Africa for tilapia and barbell -- also yellow fish, eel , tilapia was my favorite for the fishing and for the table (very good to eat) !!! You are welcome if you decide to come one day ! I live near the "APROUAGUE river" good fishing end of August, September, October..... Best regards ! Keep on fishing it is so great !
That was so exciting and fun to watch. Thank you. This inspires me to get back in the river. I live in Oregon now right on the mouth of the Chetco river so much fishing opportunity here. Thank you so much.
You might want to think about survivability of fish you release. When you handle them you remove protective slime I dont know a glove or grasp by jaw with padded plier... Also single barb for easier removal Congrats though time in eventually pays off
Nice!! Those steelhead will now haunt you for the remaining 9 months of the year. I count myself blessed when I get one wild fish a year. You can tell how fresh they are by the translucency of their fins. Those were pretty much clear...also, check them for sea lice. That'll tell you how fresh. Probably was in the ocean less than 5 days ago. Try getting one on a fly rod, then you'll really be hooked. I bought my first fly rod at 20 for the sole purpose of catching a steelhead on it. I'm 38 now. It took 2 steelhead seasons of being skunked....just learing how to use a fly rod and how to read the river, etc. Finally got one on my 3rd season.. I've chased steelhead ever since, every year.. and it never gets old. Also a bay area guy, we are lucky to have a couple urban steelhead spots left. But the trinity and Klamath are my favorite. Congratulations Adam.
I have fished steelhead in NY and they are a crazy fun fish to catch. Oh what a fight. They have run up and down the rivers I have fished when on line while fighting them. They have such power.
I was at the edge of my kitchen chair at 1am watching the battle in a pure RUSH! I hooked my first ever Steel on a small coast stream not far from where your at, about 30 years ago and your video brought back that memory like it was yesterday. Trust me, Now you will start driving hundreds of miles and spend several days for even just 1 dime bright beauty. "The Chrome is the Juice!!"
I truly admire this video in many ways. It is not click bait. This is the real deal. Also, your perseverance. Most people nowadays cheat or learn by copying others. This is true hunting and learning knowledge gained first hand. I too have chased salmon and steelhead. For me it was on Lake Michigan in Norther Indiana waters. The learning curve was long, but eventually I figured them out. It is amazing how hard they hit and fight, then run toward you then away. Then they pause and then from 0 to 60. I’ve often said it’s like hooking onto a lightening bolt. Great channel, substantial content, and good personality. I’d fish with you any day. Good luck out there and good fishing!
Don't let that fool you the slack water bubba, when you hook into a 15pounder in that little stream you will swear it's Moby Dick himself ... LoL Shawn from Vermont we look for flow rate and temperature on the east coast. Nice one
I've personally caught several Steelhead and Coho in those small coastal creeks your fishing at. A couple tips for you; 1. #2 Mepps. This will catch you Steelhead and by accident Coho. It's good for about 3 cast per hole. The Steelhead will not react to it after 3 cast but even if they don't grab it, they will reveal themselves by flashing on it 2. A small Anise scented marshmallow ran up the hook just past the eye followed by 2 or 3 quality Salmon eggs on the shank of the hook with a 1/4 chunk of a mini crawler. I would fish this setup with splitshots so I can add or remove them depending on the depth or current in the hole I was fishing. No bobber, just a free flowing drift and an educated feel for the drift.
@@DieHardFishing Well, I can't really disclose alot of this info in this public forum. If I still lived in the Bay Area, I could show you holding water in alot of those creeks. Here is an interesting fact though, quite a few of those Steelhead will actually stay in the creek all year long and just turn into huge rainbow trout living under the banks and waiting until the following winter, hoping for a decent amount of rain.
@@DieHardFishing In the vid, you were fishing the estuary/lagoon area of the creek and I can tell you first hand that there are schoolie Stripers in there and this time of year, a decent Starry Flounder bite near the mouth of the creek. Edit; if you can give me an email, I can give you detailed info.
My dad would stand in river for 6 hrs after working all night drive for 4 hrs each way to try and get one. Didn’t understand till in 60’s. Awesome fish to land!
Another fine sprint and a super fine steelie.
That was awesome man. I live in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I need to get my ass out there and do what you did. Thanks...
thank you thank you. very few people would understand.
Wow nice catch big chrome steelhead
Sonoma creek had huge steelies 40 years ago
that was great !!!!

You might wanna try the shoulder mount for your camera as your arms block the shot way less in that position.
Way to go.
NICE!!
That was so awesome bro it took me 2 years before I caught my first steelhead ever tight lines stay fishy Redmond OREGON
You never forget the first!!!!
Have u fished Pescadero?
Loved the video Adam.. You should really try fishing for them on Centerpin, it's a whole new experience... Beautiful hen... Keep it up
Wow, enjoy ur video
I obsess
14 minutes. Small black wooly buggers work best on a slow retrieve at that spot. Swell and tides determine everything there.
Gotta make sure your drag is not set too loose or else you won't get a good Hook set. Had that happen pleanty of times

You make great videos! Thank you for the entertainment!!!!
Storybook hunt and fish bro, amazing. The fact that u stalked those backwaters made it all the better
what was the bait used?
The narration sounds EXACTLY like Nathan For You
You might want to think about survivability of fish you release.
When you handle them you remove protective slime
I dont know a glove or grasp by jaw with padded plier...
Also single barb for easier removal
Congrats though
time in eventually pays off

sensational catch adam-san, an all-timer for sure👏👏
"Even if you're not catching, you're still learning"
so true.
That’s the great part about fishing

“A fish of a thousand casts” 👍
True Wild?? Haha love it.
Reason # 123 why women live longer than men 17:32 of this video. lol
Hey can you do a tutorial on your set up and rigging along with how to sack up the roe?
Yes, will do in the future!
That was an epic catch bro! Congrats!
Thanks Jun!!!
Awesome fish brother. Steelhead fishing is the best. Maybe I’ll catch up with you on the water one day
Awesome dude, that’s amazing.
What a fish and healthy looking congregation
What a video, cannot wait another one you mentioned. Good job
Jeez Adam that's best looking steelhead I've seen in our area.. What an epic battle!!
Thanks bro! Just time and focus. Make every cast count!
What an awesome video! Great job man!
One hell of a fish Adam!!!
I don’t know who jumped around the river more. The fish or you. lol congrats
Hahahaha so true! I was doing the steelhead shuffle!!!!
Your hard work and patience is much appreciated. Was that caught on a spoon or jig? Thanks again 🙏be safe.
Respect!!!
Truly DIE HARD FISHING(all the hours and effort spent)!!! this is such a blast!! and congrats such a beautiful fish!!
Thanks Chensi!
That was an exciting fight!!! Congratulations, Adam!
Adam, you should change your name to Percy; Percy Verance! Well done bro' you certainly earned that fish and, to release it, RESPECT man.
That was Epic!! Congrats!!
To many of these steelhead are being caught in commercial nets
I love it. How are you going to top this one? Keep it coming.
I'm really not sure, lol
The more time you spend on the river the more fish you will get
Bobber down !!! Tight line's
Congrats on the hunt for Moby Steelhead
Don't let that fool you the slack water bubba, when you hook into a 15pounder in that little stream you will swear it's Moby Dick himself ... LoL Shawn from Vermont we look for flow rate and temperature on the east coast. Nice one
Congrats man! Very well deserved trophy 🏆 A great video too 👍🏼
Weldone bro. They do call it fish of a thousand cast for a reason i guess.
Now I know why!!!
Incredible and challenge accepted!!! :)
Loved it. This is when fishing becomes hunting. Nice video.
Congrats Adam, great effort! What a beautiful fish, you deserved it, and awesome release
Thanks Chris! Was my favorite and most proud moment on the channel!
Nice work Adam!

Thanks for the tips! What’s the biggest you have caught? Just curious since I’m still a newbie

Sounds like he has similar symptoms as I do, it’s the dreaded steelhead addiction!!
@@DieHardFishing I’m in Washington, we get nice run up here on Cowltz. But way to many boats war zone 😞
Nice Bro. Happy 4 ya
