Thanks for posting the video. I loved the camera angle and being able to see the fish hit. I do have a couple tips for you, as I do this type of fishing all the time. 1) Keep your clickers on (like you did) but have your drags as light as possible so that you hear it when a fish hits (like the second fish). However, once you grab the rod, tighten the drag a bit, turn the clicker off and then start reeling. 2) When a fish hits a rigger, before you take the rod out of the holder, reel as fast as possible to get it tight and then remove the rod from the holder. That reduces the chances of giving the fish slack and losing it. 3) If you have a bow mount trolling motor, run that on 3-4 setting along with your kicker or big engine for steering and auto-pilot. That way, when you get a big fish like you did, you can take the gas motor out of gear and just keep the boat moving forward with the TM while you focus on the fish. 4) With boards, you will need to tighten the drag to reel them in, but as soon as you take the board off, loosen the drag some or you will lose fish when they make that last run at the boat. I learned all of those things the hard way! Cheers! Nice brown trout! That was a monster.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPP! - NOT a Walleye! LOL! When I first heard the rip, I figured a nice Musky, there are some big ones now in Erie. Didn't realize some big Trout are there too.
Browns are territorial and are aggressive the white river in Arkansas has them 30-40” Fish eat fish and browns will swallow and feed on 14” rainbows in a blink so if u want protected trout waters ? Putting browns in would be almost disadvantaged They can also handle warmer water ? Another or more adaptable to it
Awesome day out for calm waters on Erie......did a charter this year on Erie and caught six different species in 5 hours......Lakers are still my favorite eaters...two thumbs up from .( ma's and pa's tackle shoppe )
I agree perch are tough to beat. However I would take a walleye caught anywhere other than the great lakes over anything else. Also bluegill and pumpkinseed sunfish are every bit as good as perch. Also agree with walleye cheeks and would add that cheeks from lake trout and chinook salmon are also very good.
I used to live in Buffalo. Never ever went fishing in Erie. Darn. Missed a bet that time. When I eventually got back to SOCAL, I fished a whole lot in the Pacific. On boat, off the beach and pier. Great fishing. Took a lot of trial and error to figure them finicky SOCAL fish out. But eventually, I did. No TH-cam back then to teach me the shortcuts.
Loved the vid and WOW a brown trout. But . . . I'm from NE Ohio and an epic day on Lake Erie for us is a Walleye limit for all in 4 hours with a couple 24-30" Wallys each (always returned)
Always loved you guys who left the clicker on. I operated a rod/reel repair shop for over 40 years and clicker repair always led the pack. You guys fishing off Barcelona or Dunkirk?
I thought that was a muskie for sure. I would have put thay fish in the live well for a bit to let it rest and see if it was going to make it or not. Im not to sure that one did, but that happens, and have you ever thought about turning off the clicker when reeling in?
Super sick! I’ve always wanted to fish Erie it’s not even that far I just don’t have a good boat for it. I’m heading out to raystown tomorrow for about a week should be fun and I’m going to films some vids
Flat lake like that. you can fish a canoe or a kayak just like these guys. Want deeper water? Launch outta Barcelona. You can get 60 ft. of depth a half mile from shore. The deeper you go the more likely you'll run into Lake Trout..slimiest char ever..
@@RottenAnimal That's probably why we both watched the same exact video but you saw something that wasn't actually there, your half blind and senile grandpa. You can make whatever claims you want on TH-cam, most people do, but as previously stated you've obviously never fished planer boards before as it is quite common for the line that's attached to the planer to get WRAPPED AROUND THE FISH, especially large fish, when trolling. But of course your 50 years of "experience" fishing some backyard pond with cane poles and crickets wouldn't ever allow you too know that so go take your Geritol and a nap Gramps so you'll have enough energy to stay up for Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Even if the fish did happen to become foul hooked, they released it as is required by law so your incorrect point would be moot anyway so either way you look at it, your stating something erroneously FOR NO REASON because if the fish was hooked in the stomach, THEY OBVIOUSLY KNEW THAT, and there's nowhere in Fish and Game laws that say you have to announce that a fish was foul hooked when making a TH-cam video so either way you slice it there LITERALLY no point for your comment. Literally. Plus you've just proven that you're prone to making ridiculous ASSumptions by pretending that you would have some way to gage how old I am based upon my single sentence comment left on a TH-cam thread that infers absolutely NO INFORMATION about how long I've been alive but one thing I can guarantee you is this, regardless of any age gap that may or may not actually exist, I've LITERALLY at least one, mostly multiple, Master Angler award sized fish of about 90% of all the recognized game fish in the state of Michigan (not counting trash species) and after this summer targeting Sturgeon on the Detroit River I'm sure those numbers will be more like 92-93% and have the pictures to prove it like the 49.5 inch 36 pound Great Lakes Musky attached to the picture on this TH-cam account. So the lesson to be learned here is?..... going around ASSuming things about 💩 you're not actually sure of in life can only accomplish one thing and one thing only, make you look like a damn fool. And that you most assuredly did accomplish like a professional. Congrats 👏🎉 🎣🤤
@@RottenAnimal I love how TH-cam just censored my reply which absolutely blew what you pretend to know about fishing out of the water. I guess I shouldnt be surprised, TH-cam is known for catering to the feeble mind dregs of our society. 🤤👏
@@gummo3873 That fish that was hooked in the belly is an illegal caught fish. If you kept it and a game warden knew about it, you would be in trouble. You remind me on those cheaters that put sinkers into walleye in order to win the fishing tournament. I know you didn't try to hook it in the belly but you shouldn't have posted it. You're a feeble mind dregs of our society if you try pass that off as a legal catch.
its like a sheet of glass hot summer. it was 1997 i caught a 37 1/2 inch walleye . we used to catch 20 inch small mouths one after another in 15 feet of water
Horsewrangler many/most of these comments are from folks who have spent significant time on the water. Some of these comments, especially regarding catch-and-release VS keeping a fish for dinner, which is not likely going to survive, are bang-on. And as an angler myself, I kept asking myself why these two would continue to roll forward after setting hook on a fish. Cheers.
Nice brown and nice laker. Would be nice to see you revive the fish after unhooking it before keeping it out of the water for a couple of more minutes for photos, measuring and weighing. I know the laker too off right away but think about it. What if the roles were reversed and you were the fish. Your pulled under water when completely gassed. Have the hook removed and then spend another 2 minutes under water for pictures and measurements before being allowed to come back up for air.
@@bradr539 the exact moment (and for about 20 seconds afterwards when they actually hold the fish up and you can see NO HOOKS WERE IN ITS BELLY) when you see that this fish absolutely positively WAS NOT foul hooked like these unknowledgeable jack-holes keep claiming just because it got WRAPPED IN THE LEADER LINE. I swear these TH-cam know it alls are a dime a dozen. And even if it HAD BEEN foul hooked, SO WHAT?, that inevitably happens sometimes and they still released the fish which BY LAW is what you're supposed to do anyway. Except this fish wasn't, and anyone (like you) who took the time to pause the video (like I did) when they netted it can CLEARLY see that.
Because people can choose to do whatever the eff they want with the fish they catch genius. Some people who can afford nice boats and trolling equipment like that don't have to fish for food and might prefer to eat Colby beef or already have a freezer full of fish and therefore choose to release the fish for others to catch in the future. I swear, half of you people that leave comments like this on TH-cam couldnt think your way out of a wet paper bag if your life depended upon it. Geez. 🙄

My uncle's a plumber and he says to never pick up a brown trout unless you have rubber gloves on.
Wow, that water was calm!
I caught a Atlantic salmon this year on the Detroit river first one ever
Been quite a few Atlantics caught in the river this year.
Ilot of Atlantic's running around pt Austin,
Thats crazy! I fish the river alot and had no idea tjose were there
I beat there's a couple big brownies in the dam...nice fish 👌
Beautiful day. The water is like glass.
Nice brownie and lake trout!!
Thanks Aaron!
Enjoy your Raystown videos. My favorite lake. Now I have to learn Erie

Thanks!! 🇺🇸

No hardly. He put his fingers into his gill plates. Fungus and death for sure!
Its gonna die from being pulled up from the cold bottom to the warm top waters. These guys dont know that apparently. Should of just kept it

I like the hot pink ladderback spoon . Hope it a huge Steelie.
I saw a bunch of trout from Kootenai Lake once.
Even a bad day makes a good day for fishing .........................
we used to run plainer board s loaded 4 people fishing we used to limit out on perch oh man beer batter perch
Congratulations, son. You have YT'd Dad catching dinner.
Nobody eats Lake Trout. I hadda customer who smoked 'em, but I always wondered how he kept the papers dry.. (LOL!)
Go Dad go great big one! Good job now keeps a couple to eat! Haha
That’s a minnow compared to what we catch in Florida fresh and salt water
Do you have browns down there? They fight hard
When I was a kid. There was a huge carp that hung out at that marina. 6-7 ft long
Just subscribed here for the journey!!
Why the heck did they keep trolling when trying to reel in the fish behind the boat???
Yea...YOU SNAGGED IT! That ain't fucking fishing!
Are you kidding me...!😂😂😂😂 There it isn't..!😮
great video mate! loved it! your giving me the fishing fever for sure... hahaha
Wow that's big maybe 4 pounds wow
I grew up on a river ! I'll go to long John silver 😃
That brown make good bait for a real fish
No need to set the hook when you see a strike on your boards. You’ll catch more fish if you stop.
Every time your dad wears a Penn State University shirt, I'll always watch ur videos vaughn..nice brownie
Just love the clicker. Goofballs
Great video 👍
There's something very Erie about this
Pay attention keep your eyes on the polls !!!
Nice fish
i was up there for my first time few months ago and got a 6-pound small
What down rigger rods do you use?
It was hooked on its side so basically snagged that’s why it pulled in sideways
Snagged in the belly brought in sideways no wonder it took so long 😂

Trout have a hard time with it.
But most other species do just fine if released properly

Yep

have to trip the Dipsy

Good catchin but turn off that clicker, great for being alerted of a hookup but so annoying to hear while reeling in fish.
If you trolled a little faster you won’t have to set the hook.

3 as of 2020
On Lake Michigan, you can have like 10. idk why it would be different there
You need to take off your drag you will ruin your reals faster
